Saturday, October 16, 2004 as if we didn't need more proof that sometimes asians are the worst dressers ever ever ever, some joker comes in wearing a tiger-print "silk" top under a black coat with leopard "fur" trimming and the worst blonde highlights you ever did see *sigh*
HELLO ?!?!
aussies aren't too far behind though, with mister wigga (checkit yo !!) wearing blue dada shirt with blue dada cargo 3/4-thingamies, white shin-socks and blue shoes. oh yes, and a blue beret. the furry grandpa cap type. and his bling (rings, chains, dogtag etc..) oh ... *wince*
work is a weird place.
mm and also, i realized today that cindy (my boss) is a flirt. but *ONLY* with middle-aged to old-ish men. it's so awful. old people flirting is just wrong. and if you've ever seen cindy before it's like a squillion times worse *sigh* so embarrassing and painful to watch.
one girl from china (or other cheena country) wearing a pasar malam-style shirt that said "take me to the strippers" with an indeterminate cartoon character on it.
who's going to die of strawboard poisoning? who wants to get out of perth asap? who wishes her folio would magically complete itself/disappear forever?
*sigh*
and who wishes she had 52K so that she could go to singapore and study printmaking ??
and also, who wishes her blog could be in Swis721 BT Condensed 'coz it's such a pretty font ..
Monday, October 11, 2004 i just spent 6 hours of my life over the past 2 days watching the 4400 and i feel so cheated =( tv station raving about it, and it was pretty exciting in the beginning. actually it was pretty exciting right up to maybe the last half an hour when it just degenerated into rubbish .. i mean .. it all just didn't ... AAAAAAAAAARGH !!! *blubber*
'scuse me while i go fill the emptiness i'm feeling right now.
