Even though I tried to keep on top of it all by taking a photo a day on my phone blog, everything is really happening too fast for me to keep track of.
But hmm things that are on my mind at 12:02 AM 10/05/2012...
- Reading is evil - Recent weeks I've been extremely addicted to reading again. I signed up to Goodreads and am now keeping track of all the books I'm going through. It sounds strange but I'm actually trying to quit reading.. it is the most time consuming hobby ever! I am not capable of picking up a book and putting it down until it's finished, which means that after work, dinner and TV or what not.. I pick up a book that I intend to start on and don't end up sleeping until 5AM which REALLY screws me over the next day. This stupid habit will be the death of me because I end up wanting to read around the same time the next evening.. and the vicious cycle repeats.
- Diablo 3 is coming out in 5 days time!!! I'm actually very excited about this as it literally means that the time I spend playing games will not be wasted! At least this will be a legitimate way of earning some small cash on the side. Honestly if it wasn't for the real money AH, I wouldn't even start this... The only character that I would only consider playing from playing beta is witch doctor.. it just seems to be OP compared to all the other classes (at least in beta). On a side note.. Guild Wars 2 character creation looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Being a girl really makes you a sucker for these kind of features!!!!!
- AKB0048 is AKB48's new anime series. I started watching this last week and as much as I thought that it would suck, it's predictable and ridiculous... I loved it and even teared up on several occasions in the very first episode. So ridiculously retarded of me. Mayu Watanabe is a seiyuu in this acting as Chieri, and apparently someone else voice acts as Mayuyu (of AKB48) in the anime. Mayuyu is really really cute, but my favourite is still Tomochin >.<
- CT's Surprise Birthday - Jeff organised this like over a month ago, and it was really sweet. Even though she has a CA exam this week, he made sure her friends spent a couple of hours with her on her birthday. I never thought surprise parties eve turn out like they do in movies.. but it was really awesome! Being discreet didn't work too well though, because all us attendees were coming through the door to greet her, the door being locked and me trying to force the door down didn't help.. I think she enjoyed the pink helium balloons the most out of everything. XD
- $70 Million OZLotto - I think lotto is great once in a while.. just for the fact that it allows you to dream for a few hours. I don't like buying it too far in advance as you probably end up getting disappointed. But a few hours ahead.. you can think of all the things you can do/plan/buy/go if you had the money. This draw was 2 days ago on Tuesday. Although this time as the jackpot was so huge, by the time I got to the newsagent, the line of people waiting to buy a ticket went to the entrance of the mall! I went to the counter to grab a card to fill in a set of numbers that my bf told me to pick and was VERY disappointed when they said that there are no more self pick cards left, and only automatic generated ones. You see, I normally would not give a shit if I picked or the machine picked, BUT, as my bf has already presented me with sets of numbers.. if I didn't pick them and one of the sets ended up winning, I think I may just end my life there (the lifetime of regret would KILL me). So.. whilst I was on the phone trying to call him to tell him that I'm going to delete the set of numbers he sent, I decided to just buy a megapick automatic ticket for the hell of it. OK let me just say now I did not win anything ($15 win doesn't even cover the cost of the ticket), but I was SO happy that day for an entirely different reason! When I got to the counter to buy the megapick from the nice man (my nationality) that I buy my bus tickets from and have nice short chats with, I casually asked if he knows any other newsagents in the city that had some self pick cards left -- he then spoke in my dialect and told me that he had 3 cards left and that I can have one! I was soooooooooo goddamn relieved that my lifetime of regret can now be avoided that I felt like I just won the lotto. Anyways.. the bus trip home and that night before the draw.. lots of nice things to do if I get rich went through my head, and when I didn't win, I was again relieved that I did not have to actually pick one out of all the nice options that I laid out for myself in my head. WOW this is literally the ultimate first world problem.
- Reconnected with old bestie - Haven't spoken to Karen for the longest time before this month.. and recently I've been seeing her at least once a week. Our friendship is really like a relationship, but I'm glad we're now reconnecting because at one point in my life she was my best friend.. and to drift away from someone that you felt that way towards is a very sad thing even though by the time you both have separated, the feeling has almost dissipated. SO WHAT BETTER WAY TO REBOND THAN TO TAKE LUVOS, as well as work lunching, shopping, sleepovers and doing other girly shiz.
I should go shower and sleep now otherwise I'll get to work late tomorrow... It's my colleague's last day tomorrow before she goes back to Malaysia. I'm really really sad and I know I'll miss her lots.. I baked a cute cake for her which I think will taste shit because I overbaked it, but it's decorated cutely so I'll still make her eat it.
Gnite <3
