whoever it was that allowed them to paint gleneagles hospital those odious shades of baby pink and baby blue should be shot. several times.

heh. just rang me mum, and she said for the most part, all they've found while going through the junk at the house so far, is stuff we had shipped from singapore when we moved to australia. (i say we, but technically speaking, ya know, i wasn't erm, around. heh.) anyhow, everything from rather nice teacups from my gran's place in england to toothpaste shipped from singapore way back when, and even a pair of my bro's exercise boots from ACS primary! (bear in mind, that he was here only til primary 3. and he's... 31 now.) no wonder they've both got backaches. and thank god i'm here. have reminded myself of how mucky and dirty it is up there, and i don't think we've had much rain recently, so the water tanks would be kinda empty as well. *phew* no showers is an icky prospect. and everytime you run the water the frogs under the bathtub start chorusing. except we haven't been there for 6 months, so the frogs might've died.

maybe.

don't trust frogs.

or toads actually. toads don't die when they're supposed to either. we usedta go round picking em up in barbecue tongs and chucking em in a bucket of dettol. which was supposed to kill them. but sometimes they didn't die. and i hate toads. (not that they should die because i hate them. we keeeled them because they was driving out the indigenous green tree frogs. you kinda had to grow up in north queensland to get the whole 'keel toads' thing going. up to and including swerving your car dangerously on a dirt/gravel road to squish one flat. anyway.) i like green tree frogs though. even though bekki put one on my head once while i was reading. i thought it was a baseball glove. hey, it felt like one, k? sort of warm and erm, moulded. anyway. i tipped it off my head. onto the carpet. lucky my dad was tolerant of abuses to that poor old carpet. that carpet's rolled up in storage in brisbane now.

sigh.

been a while eh? really, i spend all my time at the office while i'm stuffing envelopes thinking of wonderfully witty posts with which to regale what readers i have left. then i come home, sit down in front of the computer, look at the screen, mumble 'fuck it' and toddle off to bed with the latest piece of chick lit i borrowed from the library.

sad innit?

anyhow, my mum's buggered off to australia for two weeks, so i'm here on my lonesome, trying to make it through the two weeks while not poisoning myself too badly, and it's been going okay so far. seem to be picking up all the old tricks from when i was subsisting on pasta in scotland, so things are alright on the food front.

work, however. *groan* only 1 or 2 more weeks to go. thank god. 'nuff said.

phuket is off, as peiyi doesn't have funding, so bleh. *grumble* think i will use the cash to get my hot little hands on a digital camera though, so it's not all bad. oh, and i got my hair highlighted yesterday. at toni & guy's. i.. think i like it. heh. so far anyway.

to think, that this time last year, i was in scotland, and this time next year, i'll be in australia. hmm. not bad.
