how cool is this?
berinda has been saying for some time that i have an online life. yeah... sad but true. my online life. sounds quite freaky huh.
anyway i found that google has this thingy where u can see satellite images of parts of USA. well... for people who have not been there this probably means nothing. BUT, i actually found the place i was living while i was there! La Bahia it's there! the brownish bits above the orange pointer.
it actually looks like this from the ground.

and if u click and drag the map to the right, you'll actually see the boardwalk, which is the amusement park i was working at. and even my favourite ride in the boardwalk, the giant dipper!

yeah.. cheap thrill you might say, but it kept me entertained for at least half an hour. haha.
have been reading this book called He's Just Not That Into You it's such a true book about men and how they think. more on that later, when i have internalised the book and decided which parts are true and which are crap.

living the high life
i had a fun night... not the usual kinda fun, but more of the high culture kinda fun. becky invited me to go with her to watch The Sound of Music musical! with complimentary tix from malaysian airlines. woooo... let's start with the reception... wine, yummy food, nicely dressed people. me and becks felt underdressed and tried to blend in. haha
the musical was pretty good. but the movie was better. the little kids were so cuuuuute!!!!! i particularly liked the youngest one. gretl. she's only 5 years old... awwwwww so cute. and she's a real baby. cutieeeee.
did u know that it's based on a real story, and in real life, the captain was 47 when he married maria, who was 22? omg.. there is a 25 year age gap between the 2 of them. but then most people will think it's ok.. and pretty romantic, the idea of the master falling for the governess. but i wonder why society is not as open if the guy is younger and the woman is older. i think nowadays, people are more accepting of younger guy-older woman kinda relationships, but still not too drastic age differences. like that old taiwan woman who was dating an 18 year old BOY. actually i myself think it's pretty gross. but well, guess we shouldn't judge. maybe that's real love. *arches an eyebrow*
today is friday. today is a good day. payday, and tomorrow is saturday. how much better can life get... friday is a happy day.
EDIT: omg i just realised that our seats cost 131.25 buckeroos! check it out! we're in row K. like 11 rows away from the front

a momentous night
if you all have to know, my darling cat (miao miao) had a very exciting night. this translated to ME having an exciting night... when all i wanted to do was sleep. sigh.
neway here goes. at 4.30am, miao miao goes out galavanting in the middle of the night. she gets into a fight with a stray cat and and like the little coward she is, decides to come running back home. she jumps into the nearest window (which happens to be just above my bed) and onto my bed. miao miao lands on my leg. i wake up with a jump. she is hissing at some dark shape on my window sill. the dark shape which is in the outline of a cat, hisses back angrily. my cat... oh cowardly cat, pees on my leg in utter fear.
i have to get up to clean my leg, clean my bed, move outside to the living room to sleep cos my mattress is now contaminated with cat pee.
as i said in my earlier post, friday will be a better day.

too sleepy for work
i can't believe the weekend made me more sleepy than usual. what on earth did i do? tired.
there's a free dinner for all employees today at suntec. supposed to be some bank strategy thingy. sounds boring. i wonder if our exalted (and rich) CEO will talk very long... i need my sleep. maybe i can take the chance to take a nap.
i'm mildly depressed and feeling quite anti-social.
payday's coming on the 15th. early release on 15th too. i'll feel happier on the 15th.
