Some updates on life - the real stuff!

We got down to Dimitrios' party on Sat night, after a hilarious episode at Yx's place where her mom tried in vain to blow out the candles on her cake (we swapped them for relighting trick candles). As usual, Greek food like his party a year ago, and this time his other half was around as well. Hmm .. quite the lucky guy. He lives with 2 other women, 1 of whom is actually kind of hot. And his other half is also one of those lucky girls with adipocytes in all the right places and none where they shouldn't be, but she was a tad boring. Shy, perhaps. Oddly enough, the Australian housemate was obsessed with local food, and brought in stuff like satay and otak - it was immensely odd to see them going gah-gah over the otak. Favourite food that night had to be the feta salad and also the toasted bread with cucumber-and-yoghurt dip - managed to get the recipes for these, so they'll be on Gastronomia soon!

The 2 housemates, the hot one's on the right - she's actually wearing this sort of green saron wrap around bikinis .. and to her right is the birthday boy himself, who survives on a nasty diet of cigarettes, beer and coffee. I'm not joking AT ALL. Apparently he takes nothing else for lunch other than cigs and coffee. Some parts of the conversations taking place actually got awfully hilarious - ever tried getting an Indian and a Swiss to have a chat together?

Actually tried to look for some lorazepam to force myself into a full 12-hour sleep period last night, but I think they either don't exist in the house, or they're with mom. Heck. Had bad sleep, in any case. I actually, actually woke up twice muttering orders to an imaginary nurse, regarding some of my real patients. OMG. Psychosis at its peak!

Did a spot of shopping tonight too! Mainly pet stuff, it's time to upgrade living conditions for the mice. Got them a new water bowl, some bedding and a huge packet of high-protein doggie food. Treated everyone to a dinner as well, this is customary, is it not?

Yeah, I know. It was a Chinese restaurant .. Dian Xiao Er again, to be exact.

Spent within my budget, and the food's good as well (although it did smack of some food conditioning). The rooftop gardenish area is actually quite nice - now, if only there were less of a crowd! Next time you're there, alone or otherwise, just pop up to the rooftop, sprawl on the grass and just stare at the stars.

You know what? It just felt fucking great to actually have a real weekend for once.

Had a rather pleasant day, except for the rude shock this morning when I learnt that I'll be on call on my very first day on the job. At least better now than on the day itself anyway! Learning to prep myself mentally for the frightful day. Hah, even took a few pics of myself today (siao, I know ...) as a record. Shall stitch the photos up after some time as a pictorial story on how you:

1. Age
2. Get sadder
3. Become sombre
4. Lapse into psychosis

throughout the years.

Time for rest.

Gasp! I splurged so badly tonight! Been eyeing this fragrance for the last year or 2 - well actually, "eyeing" would be an imprecise term, seeing that I've actually used the body foam before. Went there to scout for a larger bottle of body foam, and ended up buying a bottle of the EDC instead. Not too bad, we got a 100ml bottle of EDC, 2 travel EDCs and 2 bottles of body lotion from the same fragrance for free! Way to go, Tangs! Really like the "au the blanc" range, it's extremely versatile for both everyday use and formal events. Slightly floral though, and was shocked when told it's actually unisex - so Yx got that free 100ml bottle, hehehe.
