I got a job interview

Sally · Friday, August 29th, 2008, 12:39 am · Comments (0)

Been surfing around a bit and came across some click worthy links:

Josh Poehlein - I completely fell in love with his photos. They are so snapshot-y yet so rich.
Little People - This is like my dream come true man. He’s street art-artist (? there should be a better word for this) and a photographer. He makes little people heroes.
Mark Jenkins - He’s an installation artist. His works are pretty awesome and funny. I wish I can do that for a living too man.

Good news, I finally got a call for an interview tomorrow. I will see how it goes, kinda nervous..still can’t get over the people will laugh at my work thing.

And Donovon Ho, my cookies got good reviews, they taste GOOD. I will make them for you next time and you have to finish the whole box.

I baked cookies

I baked chocolate chip cookies today. They taste quite OK but they don’t look very good. The top piece there is the best looking.

I was at my desk when there was this terrible fishy, stale smell. I thought you know..just a passing by (?) smell from outside the window. Then it was still here after a while..so I thought could it be that one of my fishes jump into the light bulb or something so I counted my fishes. And they were fine.

I thought it was from my hands from the baking today but I don’t think butter is a seafood by any chance.

THEN I found it. It was from one of my cloth holders where I keep my junk. Apparently my packet of cat food (which well was given to me since year 1 of Poly, my friend got it for me) burst and had a tiny hole and leaked some yummy food juice. It stinks like so badly!

I can still smell it in my head.

In shells

Yesterday I was kind of dreading work, I had to wake up early and work a short 5 hours shift.

So I was sitting at the bus stop, and looked at the rising set. It’s still dark, with tiny patches of sky with gradients of orange to blue. Besides the sky, everything else like buildings and roads had this tint of blue over it. It was really interesting, it was like a water colour painting with blue paint spilled over it.

Maybe I am being melodramatic, but it became quite worth it to wake up early in the morning to see this. I always wake up for opening shift (before the sun rises) or 9am (the sun almost risen) and never caught this pretty blue atmospheric nature scene. Yes, that was a good phrase.

But it wasn’t very fun when I board the bus and realised there were two ants stuck in each side of my sandals and biting me and I can’t scratch cos I was standing on a crowded bus.

I woke up a little too late to bake cookies. Yes, I suddenly want to bake cookies and I had never tried it before.

I added 6 luminous fish to my tank of one goldfish and one red fish. It seem like a lovely, lovely afternoon but it’s going to rain. I hate rain.

And this is the face of a terrapin forcefully taken out of its tank.

Great reminder

There hasn’t been much on my mind to blog about recently.

Except I finally got my e-portfolio and resume done, sent out a couple of them but no one has gotten back to me yet.

I had dinner with Perryn tonight but after she left me, I had a terrible time. A very embarrassing and awkward moment that I never had before and definitely don’t want happening again. It’s like a big, great reminder that really wasn’t so great.

No I didn’t rip my pants or fart loudly in public.

I am often diminutive.

Yes, it’s always good to expand your vocabulary knowledge.

Turtles and tortoise and terrapin

Sally · Tuesday, August 19th, 2008, 6:11 pm · Comments (1)

I am feeling all sleepy because I just had my lunch at 5pm. When I am at home, I would have a coffee after lunch but well, it’s kind of late to have a coffee now, my mother would scream at me for making myself full before dinner.

Anyway, today is a day about turtles, tortoise and terrapin.

I was having my morning afternoon TV time when I decided to do something quite funny during the commerical. I was sitting on my sofa which is in front of the TV. And next to the TV I have a tank with two terrapins (tortoise) inside. They always rest on the rocks and when when they sense some danger (like me walking towards them), they would dive into the waters. So basically, I never got to see them (unless I catch them) up close while they are resting.

SO, I decided to do a little test. I would roll down to the floor from the sofa, and roll on the floor towards them and see whether they will jump.

And I did it! I manage to see my two terrapins resting on the rocks up close without them jumping into the water. Yes the important words are up close. And they aren’t as intelligent as I thought. It’s quite entertaining really, When there’s nobody to entertain you..you got to make yourself happy.

Since we are on the topic on animals with shells, I have been needing to know how to spell ‘terrapin’ which I obviously found out and very, very importantly: are my terrapins called turtle or tortoise? Well I did my search and the answer is here.

So techincally I am not wrong to call them turtles but a more correct term would be tortoise.

I replaced the coffee with this reptile-searching exercise.

And this is so funny! I wish I can do that with a friend. I love ‘The Plug’, they do the funniest things. And I added a couple of very entertaining links and the sidebar.

Singapore lost

Sally · Sunday, August 17th, 2008, 10:26 pm · Comments (0)

My hands smells like crab, cos I had that for dinner.

The family sat down and watch the Olympics ping pong final match between China and Singapore. We looked out of our living room window and could clearly see everyone’s TV switched on to that match.

We lost, kind of expected isn’t it? Those two representing China are world champions. And it’s quite a awkward match. The girls representing Singapore are all from China and our Singapore couch who is from China is the brother of the China couch. They were both present at the match obviously. It’s awkward..so it’s just pure China against China.

Why? Why is Singapore so persistent in making a name for themselves in sports when all their talents are from overseas? I should be using ‘our’ instead but I am kind of torn you see, I am born in Hong Kong which belongs to China. I admire China’s sports men and women really, the determination and endurance.

I have been having cravings. Food cravings I mean like desserts and junk food.

World of blogs

Sally · Sunday, August 17th, 2008, 3:23 am · Comments (1)

Ever since blogging become very popular years back and also thanks to the wonders of Wordpress, there are tons of blogs these days. There’s all sorts from personal blogs to entertainment and amusements to lifestyle.

I love reading them, there are so many out there that are so, so entertaining. Sometimes I want to read everything that it becomes quite overwhelming..I don’t know..I get so crazy over reading everything like I want to be the most intelligent person around.

I love blogging, I love designing the blog, the coding and I love how a perfect blog looks on a browser. I blog since I was 14 and it’s really quite amazing when I look back at those early entries and realised how much I grow. Although internet can’t really be trusted, like servers crashes, hackers so entries gone and stuff.

Anyway (and of nothing connecting the previous blogging topic), I want to be a early riser. I love mornings, I KNOW deeeep in my heart I am a morning lover so I have been reading (ok, just started today) about waking up early and body clock etc.

And I started a word blog! Like I post a meaning of a word everyday, I think it would be fun. I will see whether I blog better by the end of the year.

Shit, it’s 3.22am, awesome start to that early riser plan.
