work could never be more fun on a monday.with people like tina and ben, work could never be more fun on a monday. while everyone else trug their feet to work, dreading the start of a new work week. i kinda look forward to most mondays when i work with these guys at dk:D
i woke up this morning, feeling all refreshed eventhough i slept at 1.40am the night before. i had the greatest dream ever. though the beginning started out bad with me taking chinese classes again after 2 years of totally not conversing nor writing in that language. man, that teacher was an ***hole. haha, she slapped my hand with a ruler because i was copying from a friend as i didnt know what to write on my piece of paper and she threw 2 dictionaries at me. a chinese-english and an english-chinese. best of all, i had to hand in that assignment at least by the end of the day. bad start but worth the wait for the ending. i dreamt that ben, from work took me out to the Perth Royal Show. haha, and the best part? we were GOING OUT together. haha.
mum called me a paedophile as ben was only 14, i argued he was going on 15!! his birthday is on november. damm its so near. so look, its not so bad, im just dating a guy 3 years younger than me, taking the fact he's 15. haha. chris wasnt happy about it since i didnt dream of him instead. haha, i told him, 'whoah man, its not my fault you came in late'.
keenan got a basketball ps2 game during lunch break and he asked the same question many guys ask about my fear of balls. i gave him that " do you seriously want to me asnwer "look,
K: 'amanda, anyway why dont you like basketball?'
A: 'i dont know, maybe its because like football or any other man- ball sports, i just dont get why guy actually want to chase a ball when they have women chasing after them. unless of course, youre in the case of tom hanks on an island with wilson, the football, then i can agree upon the terms, its for purely for the cause of friendship."
K: 'man then you know what'
A: 'what?'
K: 'it'll be impossible we that we would live together.'
A:'we'll technically we could as long as youre outside watching your tv and im inside. so we're in the same house, but different rooms, see this is what i call using your brains.'
K:' i only have one request then'
A:' man arent you fussy. what?'
K: ' my tv has to be bigger than yours'
A: good enough for me, as long as i have the bedroom and you have the couch'
K: 'sounds fair enough'
(im moving in with him next week) haha jk. though he did bring his friend over and i was supposed to be his current gf according to him. dream on keenan. "i only go for white guys with blue eyes. oooo, so sorry keenan, but it looks like yours are brown" did i mention how ashton smacked me hard right after that when i looked at her seductively? she had blue eyes. 'amanda dont you even think of being lesbian on me!"
ps: keenan wasnt joking about blue contact lenses. he even got the price for it. 40 a pair, and i wldnt doubt it that he would buy it to wear on for me. haha.
keenan was so happy, i gave him the best birthday present ever, my number. haha. i wrote on his birthday card as with the rest of dk,
hey keenan, have a great birthday party this sat.
have a good one from all of us at dk and
ps: i feel kinda bad for rejecting you the last, so here is my number. use it well;D
cheers, amanda.
(alright i should go back to working on my assignment. this was supposed to be a breather, but it looks like i rambled on too much hehe)
ps: when the beach pics are uploaded, i'll blog about it. meanwhile, i do look hot in them pics:D

My date with the HOT korean girl.she made me dinner, simple but sophisticated enough for me. i cant even cook an egg or rice without a rice cooker without burning it. i wldnt even wake up early in the morning to fry an egg with peas and corn in it and prepare rice, all for a friend. im just plain lazy and you see cooking wasnt a gift bestowed upon me. i cant cook- my dream X'mas present?
Cooking for Dummies.my god. i feel stupid now. im really bad at guessing ages. i took 4 chances and all got it wrong. how embarrasing and she got mine on the first try. damm!
ME: how old are you?
Jun: hmm, take a guess.
ME: you're not really my age but i'll say close, 19?
Jun: noooo, haha, way much older.
ME: okay fine. hmm, 21?
Jun: (laughs hysterically) haha noo Amanda, way older. more.more.
ME: alright. this is my last guess. it cant be seriously. 25!
Jun: surprising, older.
ME: WHAT ! how freaking old are you??? i know im going to regret this bu 28! NO MORE...
Jun: HA im not that old!younger.
ME: okay we're going somewhere. wahhh, (cries) i dont wanna play already!
Jun: im 26.
ME: OMFG. you really dont look like one.
maybe its the korean genes, if thats the case, im going to korea to find a hot korean guy, marry him, have mixed kids who would look like 20's when they're 50's haha. i would die a happy grandmother. haha.
i was so terrified when she said she wanted to share with me her dinner. i thought i was turning lesbian. haha, or the other way round. i went up to ashton, took her by the arms and shook her hard.
Ashton: whoah dude, go easy on that. what's up?
ME: Ashton, seriously look at me.
Ashton: yeah okay, im looking, why??? you're creeping me out now.
ME: are you attracted to me in any way? like do i look man enough to you??
Ashton: what do you mean man?
ME: ahh.... that doesnt matter, are you attracted to me!!
Ashton: hell no man. cmon, man im totally not lesbian and i like guys. you're crazy.
wahh. im going bonkers. i cant deal with being lesbian and having guys on my tail. a few days ago, i whined at mum.
ma! i think i have boy problems.'boy, it was funny. you see i've always been more comfortable with guys. most of my friends are guys, now that im out of a convent school. though i kinda miss the girls there, and being all lesbian. even mum cant keep up with the number of guys i've been going out with, she's more than happy with their names and numbers. plus point: if they have a car.
keenan's pop the question. technically he didnt, but he wrote his number on a piece of paper and folded it up neat and nice, and gave it to me.
ME: what's with the paper? is it rubbish?
keenan: no you dont throw it! just open it.
ME: (unwraps the paper) written on it was keenan ********** (eyes keenan) what's this for?
keenan: im giving you my number stupid.
ME: yeah i know idiot. i can see for myself. but what's it for? like if im sick and all, can i call you to fill in my shift? (smirks)
keenan: NOOO. that's not what you do with my number. say like if you want to catch a movie, you can call me out and we'll go for a date or like dinner.
ME: ahhh, i see. but why? (scrunches paper up)
(ashton walks past)
ashton: hey guys what's up?
ME: hey ashton, this is for you. keenan's wants so badly to give it to you, but he was afraid to at such a close distance.
ashton. oh what's this? (unwraps, walks to table and scribbles something on it)
keenan: wtf man, why did you give it to her?
ME: haha, oh whoops, why was it especially for me?
keenan: duh, i was giving you my number.
ME: awww, thats so sweet of you but hey look, i think ashton's lovin' it.
ashton: happily smiling to herself whilst drawing.
ME: look she's way more interested in you than me, i bet she's writing mrs. keenan on it.
keenan didnt believe me when i told him my r/s were mostly 2 weeks. i bet he was thinking 'what a player' haha, i get that all the time, though im trying hard not to lose interest. it gets boring a lil;D after a while. haha, i can definately relate to sandra bullock in that show, two week's notice with hugh grant as her boss.
you could tell he was desperate. he was trying to side his story that he actually goes for asian girls, which was surprising as he was always biased against us asians. haha. his physical evidence? a photo of us ex and himself, and boy she was as tanned, asian though she had the advantage, she was born and breed in aussie. trust me you sld never get keenan interested in anything, he keeps bugging you, damm it was irritating- so i stated i prefer my caucasian guys with blue eyes like ben. oh ben. haha, (and i went on sighing and murmuring ben under my breath) i think keenan didnt understand why blue eyes, as he soon caught up to me and set me under interrogation, why?? whats wrong with brown... (well i would totally go for ashton as she has blue eyes) you bet, ashton smacked me hard in the head, protesting she wasnt going to go lesbian for me) im not sure if he's serious about it but we left the topic at he's going to get blue contacts.
funny things a guy would do for a girl. i had damm good fun at work.

The IGA Perth Royal Show '08the Lord gave us a miracle. he changed the clouds and rain into sun and breeze. it was unimaginable- shocking and unexpected for all those who prayed. haha;D it was the perfect day to go to the Perth Royal Show, which was on from the 27th september to 4th october.
I had to get sunnies! as they were selling 2 for 12 dollars.
Truly an eye opener: Look at the variety of toys on display!!!
Pick a bag and WIN! (you'll be amazed at the number of weird games and prizes at some stores)
I had to get my face painted. It was a special occasion, trying to re-live my childhood;D
I call it the bubble blower. We won this at one of the game stores. Good Ol' Fun.
L to R: Sharon, Eddie and ME.
Why do i love her so much? because we look good together.
we dared each other to try out hot burning sauces. oo, it was hot!
The result of our shopping. 2 pairs of sunnies and earrings.
Sharon hooked on fast to the idea of gambling, and was right on gambling with my money!!!
We couldnt get more excited than we are right now waiting for the train to the showgrounds for the (Perth Royal Show)
I was right. I didnt put on weight on my cheeks!! quick pass the gum!
L to R: Eddie and ME on the train ride.
Our first game.
we stayed till 9pm for the fireworks and it was so much better than Singapore's fireworks on New Year's day. we had a hotdog each for dinner and bought showbags on sale, not to mention the majority of money wasted on rides and gambling at the slot machines. i reckon when im back, the 360 degrees ride at downtown east would seemed like nothing though i kinda missed the viking.
we got first class seating on the grass, looking up above at the fireworks. magnificent, they were so huge technically as well since eddie's camera was out of memory storage halfway while i filmed the video. the chill was kicking in at 9pm, and when the show was over, we packed out bags, wanting to go home so badly to avoid the cold.
unforgettable day. the sun, the breeze, the showbags, carnival games, rides and fireworks.
AMAZINGLY AWESOME!

Asian Cocktail Night- A Night to Remember;D
everyone turned up in glam. the lines were long and tickets were sold out even before the partying began. the bar was buzzling with people, just waiting to get their drinks and the three-storey club meant for 1000 people was packed with at least 6-7000 people.
it was great opportunity to shake the stress away from university just before cracking down hard on assignments during the upcoming study-free week. i also got to meet old high school mates from canning college, some of which i havent seen for a year or more.
the party started at 11pm, though the music could never be comparable to the past few times i've been clubbing. the entertainment was great with performances put up by the A.S.I.A committee members and the DJ mixing music on stage. with the 2 free standard drinks along with the ticket, almost everyone was drunk except for us girls; D we had better things to wake up to next morning.
L to R: ME, Megan, Eddie and you know my sister, Charmaine.
ME and Eddie (before he got drunk and crazy; D)
Old pal Shayma, high school friend and ME on the dance floor.
Us girls and Eddie with Charmaine's Vodka Sunrise.
Our clubbing attire. The one i spent 2 whole shopping trips with Chris to look out for.
I was in europhia after a few drinks.
Business Statistics 101 partner, Eddie and ME.
i didnt realise only after that we took so few pictures that night. i guess everyone was so busy drinking that we totally forgot about taking pictures. we clubbed till 4am and i was damm hungry when we left the club so the guys had to drive us off to get kebabs for supper;D
great night.
