'Tis 3 Days to Christmas

Hello children.


I have been up for an hour and it's still 7.30am in SG. No one is up and online and I've finished all my blogsurfing. K is probably gonna kill me for exhausting his internet quota again teehee.

Doing the domesticated thing now.. bedlinen's in the wash and I'm waiting for the silly guys from Freedom to deliver the new mattress we bought. I hate it when delivery people tell you stuff like "Oh we'll be there anytime between 9am - 1pm." Granted we all know why they do it, but nonetheless it pisses the shit outta me cos effectively those 4 hours are fucked and God knows how many of them actually arrive between those hours.

Now I am fungry and there's only one sad banana which I have to ration from now till then cos I obviously cannot get food until silly mattress arrives.

Went to this law firm who handles immigration and PR stuff yesterday.. I like this guy. K and his sister both got their PR through him.. and I like the way he operates. He doesn't give me the first-meeting-creeps as well. We pretty much have very limited option (well, we only have AN option) if I wanted to get PR, so we'll sit on it for now.

We were late for the appointment for a bit and we got lost, and we ended up running up and down steep slopes trying to locate the place and my feet officially died. Had to limp to Sportsgirl after that to buy this ugly pair of thongs which was on sale. If my feet ever reincarnate into an actual person, he would hunt me down and seek revenge, abusing me tenfold then :(

(Why does OZ tv suck so much? For the past hour they're showing c-r-a-p and it's like for kids. Why do kids watch things like that?! I don't even mind Hi-5 this much. Show it dammit.)

Roamed the city after lunch yesterday and K went back to work.. The. Crowd. Is. Mad.

Was in Myer and the *only* sane section within was the bedlinen. The kids section especially was barking chaos, what with mad kids zooming everywhere and mad parents trying to hunt their mad kids down and mad grandparents obviously lost in transition.

(Entire house smells Dynamo-ey now. It's a comforting smell. Why is mattress un-here?)

It was less madness at the clothes departments but nothing much yet.. just a couple of mad dresses. Gonna wait till Boxing Day and sweep the malls. K's entire family will be here on Boxing Day.. so I dunno if we'd go to the malls or not. We're gonna go up to Blue Mts though! Gonna drive up and stay for a night. It'll be fun.

Believe it or not, yesterday was my FIRST time ever at Supre - Ah Fur is gonna scoff at me. Can't blame me cos Supre stuff used to be super trashy; it still is, just that there are some new collections.. but it's tiring scouring through the trash to get to the good ones.

I hate Supre fitting rooms though. The incessant door-slamming gets to me real bad. I actually tried to stop the door from slamming when I came out for the second time, but I didn't realise my watch's face had twisted downwards on the wrist, and the cb door SLAMMED into my watch's face. Sorry Siter :( I stood there rooted and gaping but the guy was waiting to get the clothes. Bah.

But I'll go back to Supre again. Gave up on Cotton On. Sidenote: I hate it when these traditionally "local" stores start going to other countries. Bah. When I went to London I didn't even get anything from River Island. Not exactly cheaper also. Bah. Everyone is wearing the same stuff everywhere!

(Woo bedlinen is done - off to dryer brb)

(90min of dryer. Where is mattress?!)

Can't remember what I had wanted to say.

Anyway am pretty disappointed with David Jones' Christmas decorations this year.. not as exciting as previous years'. Oh well. Boxing Day sales better be good.

Oh oh oh.

Of course by now the entire Asia (and Texas) is rejoicing over The Proposal! Gong xi ni CYY & Mike.. sincerely wish you lovebirds a blissful and lasting marriage. Cannot wait for the Eurasian babies! :)

(K just called - delivery guys haven't called yet. Must I tip them if I flirted a bit and asked if they could help me bring the mattress to the room? The lady at the store had said that if "we asked nicely they would do it". Bahahha.)

Omg it's been a mad few days cos I've been playing World Tour and Mario Kart with my cousins. DAMN FUN. I swear I am going to get World Tour once I get back. Lammy has been nagging me to do it since a long time ago - I already have the potential suspects in mind! LET'S HAVE A WORLD TOUR PARTAYYYYY. F&B provided!

Omg Hugh Grant is going to be on TV after the commercials!! *wets*

I'm trying to take more photos.. but I've been Sydney-ing so often that everything seems like the norm now.. nothing much to take leh. I'll bug K to let me take photos of the apartment and post it up.

Dum dum dum.

Oh well. Till laters.

Groceries List:

- bedroom slippers for K (so that he can FINALLY stop wearing mine. Bedroom slippers, esp furry ones, are DAMN private to me lah! It's worse than sharing toothbrushes to me and he's scoffing my anal-ness over it)

- tang yuan (winter solstice today)

- shampoo (hope there are travel ones)

Hurrumph. Hungry.

Bye children. Have a good Tuesday.
