UpDaTeZzzzzz

Hoo-RAY!!! She's alive! Comm'on lets give her a Hip Hip Hooray and do a Mexican Wave! Yaaahoooooo!
Well. It's been roughly bout two months since I came back to Adelaide and that's like so so so fast. Seems like only a week ago that I was back home in Ipoh. Still, I kinda feel so far removed from all the people and things that I love. Not to worry though, I'm still having quite some fun (admist all the readings and assignments, not to mention the 4000 word literature review and thesis that's due on Oct 17! O_O!!!!!)

I've gotten more acquainted not only with the human residence of this household, but also the non-human ones:

Gohstan & Ligster and the two humans, one of which is trying to see if she can fly...


The fishies; Emperor Laka, King Xerxes and Keong Chong. Unfortunately, both the rulers of this little water kingdom passed on to Fish Paradise, leaving behind the very fat and healthy citizen to rule over the plastic plants. We were very sad on the day that we put our dear friends to rest. Laka and Xerxes, we still feel the raw hole you left in our hearts everytime we see this memorial site in our backyard...


Not to worry though! A friend bought two new fishies and now Lucky, Luku and Keong Chong just keep swimming, swimming, swimming (although it's just round and round the bowl...), making the water kingdom complete again.

Then there was the Merdeka party, and we wore 'I *heart* Malaysia' t-shirts and sarongs. We looked like Ah-Mas la...


Two Ah-Mas and a Colgate advertisements at a bus stop

Hmmm... can't remember what else I've done. Oh yea. Cooked. A lot. Meals for one, two, three, four, twenty, thirty.... Baked cakes, bread, puffs, stuff. Cleaned and tidied the house 1047574365 times because we mess it up the day after we clean it. Yes, done alot but also done nothing. Hohoho.

Oh.. and this household has managed to lose loads of stuff:

1. TV remote control, so we watched only Channel 7 for two weeks, coz we were too lazy to get up and switch channels. For awhile we actually thought that someone must have mistaken the remote for a pencil box and accidentally taken it home. A friend was actually asked to buy a not real punya remote from pasar malam and bring it back here. hahahaha. This very important eletronic divice was finally found in the room of one of the housemates, under a pile of paper she was trying to flatten.

2. Car keys. For a few days. Owner of the car keys was looking high and low for it and the keys were finally found by a dear visitor. It was hanging on the side door. It HAD BEEN HANGING on the side door. FOR AT LEAST FOUR DAYS!. Oh.. did I mention that the car keys were hooked on the same key chain as ALL the house keys?

3. Peacock Feather Earring, still missing.

4. Yellow Wheelie Bin. Went missing when it was wheeled out to be emptied. Somehow though, now we have two yellow wheelie bins.

Anyhow.... i'll continue bout whats been going on next time la....
