lights fantastic

so, took leave today so that i would have a long weekend. unfortunately i've been spending it packing and procrastinating about doing research for my project. haha some things never change. got discussion tomoro sommore. oh well. the day is still young. contemplating going for a jog later when it's not so hot. or i could just stay home and wolf down swiss chocs. hmm. decisions decisions.

i'm quite pissed off that the recycling people have stopped coming to my estate, cos almost everyone has already moved out. i have stacks and stacks of paper and mags that are probably just gonna be thrown away with all the other non- recycleable stuff. damn annoyed lor. why can't there be recycling bins for every block like they do in aust eh?? so much for reducing our carbon footprint. pfft. NEA, do something about it please! please ah please.

on the bright side (pun intended), i got my black chandelier y'all! it's bloody gorgeous! translucent black and clear crystals. gonna collect it on sun and unfortunately i didn't take a pic of it. another exciting purchase that was made last week also escaped the clutches of my camera lens simply cos i was waaaay too excited to think straight. that one is due for collection on mon. :) let's just say it's some serious blindingly bright bling, and i wasn't the one footing the bill. can't wait mans! super pretty and suits my fat fingers. wahaha. unfortunately we inadvertently annoyed my future m.i.l. cos we didn't tell her about it until after we got it. oops. talk about faux pas. will need to make amends...

in other news, gonna have to stay in the current job for much longer than i thought. need the stupid bonuses in dec and march ah. sighs. there is, however, light at the end of the tunnel (hoho). due to the intensity of the 4th year course i'm currently in, kavi said that i'll probably have to take lots of leave or work part time during the thesis writing period. i would do this gladly, if it wasn't for the fact that i really need a full time paycheck. what's a gal to do? kavi and i stumbled upon a brilliant idea of cos. the kind that hits u when u're talking about something completely random and irrelevant- until u connect the dots. it's an unlikely thing for me to do, but it's a means to an end. where else can u earn pretty much full time pay while doing a part time job? think hard my friends... the answer will be glaringly obvious. :)
