Sweep Hack Drain

phew. can anyone smell that? horrible stench in here. i know, it's my fault. having left this bit of space turn into a swamp. but isn't that mudskipper over there just adorable interesting? haha. ok, someone just bugged me to drain the swamp, so i gotta. *squeaking of tap being turned*
psssssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh~~~~~~

let's start from my current status and work backwards.

the 10 to 10 job is now a was . I'm currently stationed in bugis, workin' a delightful 9.45am to 6pm, which is like about 8 hours? minus off makan time and plus abit of unpaid OT and you get 8 hours. far cry from the 12 hours i clocked in the past, not forgetting the tuition AND preparation for tuition. and no tubes (oh joy!).
so what the hell do i do in these 8 hours? well, basically coordination for promoters and certain ongoing projects. then there's some clerical work, and layout (for POPM = point of purchase materials). downside is, food is certainly steeper here. expect a plate of main to cost about $3+? then a drink, which would be $1+. so it's $4++. over at JE, i usually get a vegetarian meal for $2.30. if i want a drink, i can pop over to ntuc and buy perhaps ice cool drinks (2 for $1.55, usually). that's a total of $3.10 a meal. rant rant. ok lar, i know it's just about a dollar's difference (or 2), but seeing the 4 in the figure irks me. haha.

back along the x axis... i was in australia. brisbane to be exact. was there for close to 2 weeks. there was kathy and peter, friends of my parents', and there's helensvale, where their cottage bungalow house abode is. it's really nice. cozy's the word. walls in pastel yellow and blue, cheery curtains and lace hangings, pleasant scents throughout the house, comfortable beds and duvets with a nice smell of fresh laundry, paintings in every room and in the corridor, self made mobiles on curtains, a pool outside, a view of helensvale golf arena outside. ain't that just great? not too mention, it's a cooling temperature of about 20 degress celsius every day (it was winter).
oh yah, there's a linen closet, just like in enid blyton books! (well, english books, at least)kathy works at helensvale golf club. she just walks there or she can drive her buggy right out the buggy garage and onto the golf course.

i tendered my resignation for art-serve. well, i didn't get to finish all my experiments but whatever. went back one afternoon to pass a movie world souvenir to sally aunty and saw the new girl picking out letters for tubes. wonder if she's got a design graduate and how long she'll last...

well, that's basically the whole graph in general. ok, swamp drained. *punches card and leave* =]
