the life of an overaged child

Guess what?
I falied my Basic Theory Test!!

Erm. Help.

I had no idea what went wrong! I studied, did those 300 questions, you know, the kind like GCE 'O/A' levels' disgusting 10 year series books. The ones that trick you into believing that you can pass, and then you do substantially well.

In my case, I actually failed! I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculous-ness of the situation. I mean, I didn't even fail the one in Australia! And there was country roads and other weird-ass rules, involving animals like Kangaroos, which you don't get here at all!

I think I must have gotten dumber, my siblings are going to have a field day. Yikes.

Guess what?
I've found a job!! At a high street fashion store as a part-time sales assistant!
Clothes, shoes, bags, finally!! I get some experience in the retail sector of...the fashion world!

I'm a small fry in a big, bluish-greenish sea. The really tiny, puny, tadpole (I'm ugly you see) to that insanely huge ocean. And I can be eaten alive by the fashion poweress that may be!!!

Today was my first day!! I went in not knowing anything. Came out bewildered. It was such a dream. Sigh.
-You can see my lack of experience in such a sector. I hope it dosen't show too much, I'm an open book when it comes to such matters-

And there are other good news:

CONGRATULATIONS!!

TO: Terence Mao & Peppermint Lee!!!
You have finally graduated, my dearest cousin! And you've got your mark Peppermint!!

Okay, on the cousin's front, I haven't spoken to him, just got word off it via Grandma.

For Peppermint, gurl, you did your best!!! Fight for your mark!!! After enduring countless stressed out nights, the tears and the laughter. The why-did-my-expirement-fail syndrome. All for the process and for the results. Don't give up!!!

Now, I'm really tired. Standing for more than 8hrs a day, now, that is a new challenge. One I will definately want to conquer.

I've been home less than a week, and I'm still stressed for some reason. I can't sleep till about 2am (that's 4.30am Adelaide time) and wake up around 8am (10.30am), then not do anything. I'm such a bum..I didn't do my morning run today, I was feeling too sore from my run yesterday-can you even believe that?

Me. Skip a run. Is it the holiday mood that has finally caught up and swept me away, into an unknown abyss that will make me fat? Haha. I'm glad I'm not doing the Standard Chartered Run this Sunday (I WANT TO SO BAD) as I would totally just crack and die. And its not that easy to actually enter it, they would want my timing and everything. Which I don't have. And I could probably only run the 10km, seeing as I havent been training. I suppose I could do my own '10km' run. Now that sounds promising and more realistic.

My older cousin's having her Wedding dinner this sunday. I've finally found a dress, it is a black silky kaftan, which will do. And after much searching, I finally found my black patent heels, which were hidden in the 'vintage shop' aka Mom's closet, where I had to dig for about 20mins at least before I found it. So typical Mom, thats where I got my messy genes from. The only way I can find most of my clothes is when I pack them, and that thankfully happens every end of the year.

I also found out that they don't show Glee on Starhub cable here. I'm pissed off and dissappointed! And then I've been watching MTV ever since, to qualm my fears of missing out on music. It has helped me tremendously. And don't forget the internet, with its ever growing list of abundant shows to entice and draw me in, to be an addict. Nice.

Have finished running most of my errands, only to get called up to go for a dental appointment. Sighs. And I thought that I could spend the day home with my grandma, trading learning new vocabularies of words in English and Cantonese. Or just having lunch together and watching afternoon day time soaps.

Oh well.

I'm home!!!
Yay!!!

I was home for like, less than 15hrs and then I went with Mom & Bro to--get this--KL!!
HAHA. The sisters were there for a training 'holiday' and so we decided to go up and spend the weekend there! And then return home for Grandma's birthday last night!

I basically ate my body weight in food everyday, not exercise at all, slept late and woke up late and shopped!! OMG. I love holidays, especially when you get to spend them with your family, when you've met up with people you've never seen in a loooong time...
Kelvin--my JC friend, it was really nice catching up!!! I wish I could see more of my Malaysian friends, but most of them aren't back yet, or they are in other states!!
HAHA

Now that I've finally got a lot more time on my hands, I've been doing random things & errands that need to be run are still pending!
Like running for the past 2 days. How I miss it.
I'll be getting another pre-paid card...again, since I lost the last one...sigh.
Helping my cousins out! Tuition wise I mean.
Spending time with my sisters. I miss them.
Getting a haircut!
Going to Orchard Rd and seeing Christmas lights.
Getting my stupid malfunctioning camera fixed (sobs)

Oh, and one of my cousins is getting married!!! Awesome!!! Now, I actually need to look nice for it..sigh.

Hmm...what else do I need to get done?
An interview is what. I'm so excited!!!
I hope I get the job!
