Check list:

What a messy girl, i am.
I keep losing my note.
I write it down somewhere about the list of IKEA products i wanted to buy for my room.

Well, anyway, here, I decided to re-write the list. And hopefully, i didn't miss a thing (*eventhough i have the tendency of keep adding stuff)

1. Table Lamp - $8.99
Why i need it? Since i left my broken one at my old house, so im officially missing a table lamp for my room. This 3weeks, i tried to use my study lamp but its just too bright. So, checked! its on the list (*Im buying the smallest one)

2. Bedside Table - $39.99
Where can you put ur table lamp without a bedside table? *well argued*

3. Alarm Clock - $6.99 or $16,99
I dont know which one im having, but i've been envying digital clock since ever. But $10 difference surely make me think, and you also get to see this catchy colour that the normal clock have. Well, lets lee later which one will I grab to be put *back to number 2* on my bedside table..

4. Photo Frame - $4.99
Well, i might not need it. But who knows? If I got $5 extra, I will surely buy it.
Anyway, i think the bedside table is quite large and a photo frame wont hurt.

5. Vase - $2.99
Hm.. it should be useful somehow,
and might add a lil colour to my room..

6. Low pile rug - $12.99
The wood flooring in my apartment starting to drive me crazy..
I can not have my swivle chair stop from moving around while im trying to do some work on my desktop, *yea just like now*
Definitely need one ~~~


Not a very long list, i guess..
but who knows what might happen later..

being an academic

yea, as i mentioned before somewhere on my posts, i am now actually tutoring in Monash. One of my former tutor actually just become a lecturer this semester, and he needed to have an extra tutor.

The subject is a 2nd year core subject, and im pretty sure that most of them have no idea what the subject is suppose to be about at first.
But, since it is a core subject then we got quite many students enrolled in the unit. Actually, we got 120 students. *Quite a lot for IT i guess..

I am teaching 2 tutorials, means 40 students (in theory), but then since there are a lot of timetable clashes, i dont know how many students are actually on my class.
Plus some of them are switching from my first day tutorial to the other one..
and vice versa..
Well, i dont mind, i really dont..

What bothers me, then?
i know its kind of cool being a tutor sometimes - from some point of view,
but i dont know if this is really is what i want to do in the future..
being an academic?
hm.. just doesnt sounds right to me..

plus, knowing here in Monash, as an academic you have to keep publishing papers every year..
in fact, you got paid for publishing papers..
and then, apparently, dealing with students is not the hardest part,
or maybe it is the easiest part of being an academic..
the way Monash maintain its standard is just crazy..
i think tutoring is great,
but i dont want to do it next year,
i want to start working in the real industry..

lets see later,
how it goes with my tutoring at the end of the semester..
people just never get satisfied~

Uncle Kracker - SMILE

Im luvin this song lately..
....ooowh you make me s m i l e


You´re better then the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of
bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Don´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
sing like bird
Dizzy in my head
spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile

....it is nice to be home

hahaha...
it ended nicely..
i got my sofabed, dining table and everything sent to my place,
eventhough i change my removalist..

funny story is,
my removalist is kind of a "flirty kind of guy"
he asked me what will i do if he can not make it this morning?
and i replied "maybe just cancel it, move it to another day or so.."
and he said "oow? really? ur so lucky, because you called me very early in the morning and am still sleeping. but i heard a very beautiful voice, asking for some help if i can make it this morning at 9am"
o m g, what a flirty guy he is..

and then he still saying
"if the one who called me was a male, i would definitely ignored the job, ur so lucky"
hhhhh..

the fact is, he got a job at Glen Waverly at 9am to 10am,
and i asked him to come at 10.15am at city,
and he made it at 10.20am..
and then we was rushing because he needed to go to the airport to pick up some customers..
and it was at 12pm..

i said to him "good business, uh?"
"very good"
well, at least he is a hard worker
and he did his job well..
anyway, yes am flattered,
but, no am not interested,
am not an easy to bully kind of girl =)

afterall,
yay! what a great day..
now this is what i called home,
with TV, SOFA, DINING TABLE
am ready to rock n roll hahahaha

What a great day to start the week, until...

Ok, i woke up 7.15am in the morning to wake my BF for his work,
and we chit chat a bit about random stuff until he has to actually go to work,
*see, so far im loving this Monday*

and i have to actually wake my other friend who has agreed to help me..
We, me and my friend, are supposed to be at Melbourne Tower to pick up some furniture,
and yes, with my removalist..

You know what happen?
My removalist called at 8am saying that he is sick and he is sorry,
he got no other man to replace him,
and he suggested me just to change the time till tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..
geezzzz, cant he just be sick at other day? im so wanting this to be done today..

So i decided to call another removalist,
and the only one who can make it for such a short notice (its 1hour before) is this guy,
well, i got his number from my university ads web, and lets hope he can finish the job nicely..
*finger crossed i will close the day with a smile*

Travie McCoy: Billionaire ft. Bruno Mars


[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire

[Travis "Travie" McCoy]
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
Give Travie a wish list
I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh-t
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
Its been a couple months since I’ve single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
Get it, hehe, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah can’t forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music


[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire

[Travis "Travie" McCoy]
I’ll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys (?) completely separate
And yeah I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatevers left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing

[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
[Chorus]
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad!

Finally, a place i called HOME

Yup, i decided to make a post specially about my (*finally have one) new home..

After the long and tiring apartment hunting,
with heaps of applications that i sent,
many scanning and photocopying of documents,
many many many phonecalls,
and many other many that i can not recall now,
i finally got this one
the apartment itself named "Promenade"

Have to admit it here, this apartment might not be my first preference at all,
but due to the time constraint of being homeless for too long,
and many other considerations, WE finally agreed to apply for this one..

and turns out it is not bad at all..
im actually loving my new place..
with the view,
the environment,
my housemates,
and everything..



i wanted to upload my own pics,
but i decided not to, since im not done with furnishing,
anyway the floorplan explain it better..
you can see, my room is the one with a walk in robe and bathroom inside..

the living room is quite big,
making me wanting to buy more and more stuff to fill it in..
and with a wood floor instead of carpet,
i feel like i need to buy a lot of rugs..
just like these ones i found in IKEA maybe?
pretty one, and simple one..


and yes yes yes,
i bought sofa and TV for sure,
some glass top dining table,
and still wanting to add a little bit of extra here and there

oh my,
i need to start making money,
help!

blogging for the sake of blogging?


Look at me,
when was the last time i actually have a life?
So that i get the time to blog..
and to enjoy some movies..
or nice dinner?
Am i exaggerating? Hell, NO!

But, it was over..
Now, i got my life back,
i finally *drums rolling* submitted my thesis,
ofcourse with a lot lot and lot of caffeine assumption,
4 in a row sleepless nights,
2 showers *oops*,
and in total 4 proper meal only
- losing some weight? somehow i actually gained 1kg, darn! -

Anyway, now that i got to blog again
i can say that im officially into blogging..
why?
because i miss blogging,
i realised that i am not blogging for the sake of blogging only..
i enjoy blogging
im loving it, actually..

so, quick updates:
**CAUTION: its going to be a long list of quick updateSSS**
1. Thesis submitted
2. I become a tutor in Monash
3. Apartment - done!
4. Furnishing - halfway to go
5. I managed to have a break in between while a friend of mine come to visit me from Sydney
6. I got another job interview and am still waiting for the good news (finger crossed)
7. Erick managed to get a job where he can learn a lot of new skills (by skills, i mean both work and life related skills - he got a great working environment)
8. I try my best to keep my new room as comfy as possible (yea, like I know anything about interior design or sumthin)
9. I am loving my life

So,
one last thing,
I will get this world cup theme away ASAP
its so not happening anymore, isnt it? =)

PS: In the last two weeks, i was asked about how to apply for Australian Driver License from three different persons already. Is that suppose to mean anything to me?
oh well, happy bloggin everyone~
