work has been draining me lately. actually it's more likely the going out late and sleeping late that's been knocking me out but i'll just blame it on work right now. been having heaps of fun at the hostel though. had some really fucked up guests but i like the pple i work with and how casual everything is.

oh there was this stupid old austrian guy who demanded to know where shee-ahn-too-ahn road was.

stupid old man demands: i want to know where shee-ahn-too-ahn road is.
me: (AH? apa lu cakap sia?) er i'm not too sure.. but maybe if you show me how it's spelt i can give you a better idea of where it is..?
s.o.m. retorts: SHEE AHN. you know, like in china.
me: (ER FUCK NO, I DUNNNNO.)
s.o.m. reads from notebook: x-i-a-n-t-u-a-n, shee ahn too ahn.
me:(WTF) oh xiantuan rd...... what place are you looking for at xiantuan rd?
s.o.m. scoffs: i could tell you but you probably won't know it.
me: (ORH. like tt, then you ownself go and cari lor... fuckwit.)
s.o.m.: i'm looking for 'goeusthihweich' (or something nonsense like that)
me: oh ok. is that a german restaurant?
s.o.m. gives me TSK look: it's AUSTRIAN.
me: (TSK your head lah. at least i know austrians also speak german lor. you, on the other hand, probably still think singapore is part of china)
su: oh 'goeusthihweich' (pronounces it perfectly).... i know where that is.
s.o.m.: you have been there before?
su: no but i know where it is. i've seen it before.
s.o.m. so you have gone there before.
su: NO.
s.o.m.: so how do you say the restaurant name in chinese?
su: IN CHINESE?!
me: look, my friend doesn't speak chinese and not everything here has a chinese name.

.....

alicia told me later tt the guy apparently came back and told her very rudely 'i want to take a bus to peninsular plaza.' haha wtf. er.. ORH ok. go LOR! no one stopping you. haha. she told him to take a bus frm victoria street and he said no it's too far. he wants to take one frm little india. so she told him to call transitlink and ask them to make a new bus service just for him. HAHAHHA. yea, take that, betch!

last day fo work is this fri and i'm a bit sad already to be leaving. alicia made french onion soup for us today. it was daaaaaaaaaamn good. i was tempted to take dylan's share cos he was taking so long to finish up.

dylan asked me to watch the diving bell and the butterfly with him on monday night. cos it was the only night both of us weren't working. this whole week i work morning till fri and he works night tues-fri. he said wanna go watch movie again this weekend. i'm speculating you know what. he said his movie kaki left for aust already. not sure if he was referring to marc. i shouldn't speculate- i'm just a movie kaki yes? tt's what he said. anyway i'm trying not to perpetuate the near-misses trend tt began for me in ottawa. like a guy then leave the country. not very practical. but then again, i'm all for the experience, no?


su came back frm bali today and brought back the cutest pack of cigarettes i'd ever seen. and it was sampoerna too. she offered me one but i said i'd just take a few puffs frm hers to just try try. very disappointed. tasted like a regular but extremely light cigarette. i thought it'd be sweeter. maybe it was the kaya toast tt ruined the taste. i'm gonna cook jap curry for them tmr.

karin called just now. {:oDDD

kawan maan leaves for perth tmr morning. i hooope he catches his morning flight.

oh ya, i met up with andrew week before last week. walked round town, talked cock. it was nice. he still looks pretty much the same. not sure how i was expecting him to change.duno if i'm gonna have time to meet up again.

ooo i wanna go for switch at butter factory this sat. only gone clubbing ONCE since i got back. tt time with debra at arena where i bumped into wei jie. but we only stayed for less than two hrs. not enough kick for me.

ok uploading pics.
