decisions*decisions = CONFUSION

ok.. so...

i don't even have a salary, but i am already millions in debt. no no... not because of gambling problems, or alcohol addiction, but because of the condominium that i successfully convinced my parents to purchase. you see... i don't have a house in bangkok, so the condo will be my permanent home when i go back. and since i'm a commoner with a deficit in the amount i have in my bank account, my parents offered to pay in advance, and i'll have to pay them back. ok.. with that in mind, i am millions in debt.

and here's the current situation: my parents want me to work in aussieland for a few months to save up some money to pay for the condo. seeing that the salary will be higher than what i would make in thailand considering the conversion rate and all. so... i have to make a decision

1. extend my studies to a year and a half to take advantage of the 'student visa' which allows me to work 20 hours a week
OR
2. finish my studies this year and apply for a new visa to come and work

no matter what, i will have to go back to thailand before feb because of the annual ticket thingy. i'm all confused...

can someone tell my parents to call me please, my ESP with mom hasn't been working properly lately... HAHA >.<

Definition of 'Blonde'

What is with US contestants in beauty pageants this year? First, Miss USA fell during Miss Universe contest. And now the representative from South Carolina in Miss Teen USA 2007. Not that she fell or anything, but she might have fell backstage and hit her head or something, cuz how can you give that answer?????

OK... so the question was: "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

And this was her answer (or the beginning of her answer): "I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps..." ???

DOI~ And guess what? She got into the final 4... with that answer... -_-' She even went on the Today Show to defend her answer... AND given a second chance to answer that question, she managed to make herself sound insincere ("Well, personally my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on our map. I don't know anyone else who doesn't...") -_-'

(-_-')

www.blackle.com

Here's the thing... we all use Google search, yes? Well... that's fair... considering Google search is so simple to use and all. But did you know that opening a website that has white-based background color consumes alot of energy????

Anyway, the point I'm getting to is... I've been sent a website of a search engine utilizing the same platform as the one used for Google search, it's called blackle.com. It's basically Google, with a black background.

Mind you, I'm not the most environmentally friendly person in the world, but blackle.com is cool, nuf said. :D

Intelligent Drive

After my tiny thumb drive gave up on its life, I have been relying on the external HDD to carry my uni work around for presentations. Which is useless, considering my external HDD is much more advance than the computers at uni.. meaning... the computer can't even read the contents -_-

So... I went out and got a new thumb drive... and it's soooo cute!!! It's even smaller than the original one that I had.
I went online to the manufacturer's website to look at their other products, and then I found out that my thumb drive is no ordinary thumb drive... it's an INTELLIGENT DRIVE!!! O_O

Tiny and intelligent... hmmm... sounds like me, no?? HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

come have PANCAKES with me~

It's been a while since I have NORMAL breakfast. At the time when I was still working (in Thailand, of course), my breakfast either consist of rice+omelet (ข้าวไข่เจียว) or sticky rice+grilled pork skewer (ข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้ง).
ps. I'm only typing the names in Thai because I've become nostalgia all of a sudden

I was excited to finally have a normal breakfast (but then again, does having it at 11 smth counts as 'breakfast'? oh what the hell...it's breakfast food at least). What I'm talking about is PANCAKES.

When I told my friends in Aussieland that I was coming for vacation in November, they told me wherever I go, DO NOT forget to try Pancakes on the Rocks. But sadly enough, I didn't get to try it before my vacation ended. Now that I am here again, I figured it's time! So.... 5 months after I landed and walked pass the pancake shop about 151 times, I finally stepped in to try the pancake everyone was talking about.

"Regular Pancake Stack"

"Strawberry Patch"

You know what happened after the first bite??? I was spellbound~ I don't know what took over me - and I blame it on the luscious strawberries that came with the 'Strawberry Patch' pancakes - all of a sudden, the corners of my mouth starts to move by itself.. and I was left with a huge smile plastered on my tiny face O_O No matter what I tried, the smile was stuck there... until the last strawberry was consumed~ The buttermilk pancakes were thick and soft, and there were plenty of fresh strawberries~ YUMMMMMM~

Next time, I'm ordering 'Devils Delight' - chocolate pancake - YUMMMMMM *SMILES*

Coffee, Tea or Babycino?

Before I came to Sydney, I didn't realize that McDonald's also has a cafe. So when I saw McCafe in Aussieland I was excited. HEY! don't judge me! I'm only human. I get excited at things like that...>.<

Anyway, so .. McCafe... First, something about me and cafes. I like cafes, I like being there and relaxing, watching the world go by. I like the smell of coffee, but I can't drink too much coffee cuz it gives me headaches. I'm more of a tea person. But on that faithful day that I happen to plonk myself on a stool at McCafe near university, I was not in the mood for tea (or coffee). I would be happy just to sit there basking in the warmth of a heater, but that was not to be, my friends wouldn't let that happen. After much protest, they purchased a babycino for me. AHA! I know you're wondering 'what the hell's a babycino??'. Let me en light you...

A 'babycino' is a fancy name for 'hot milk' -_-'... that's it. It's basically hot milk with froth and sprinkle of chocolate. If you're starting to wonder why such fanciness for something so simple.. it's because it's a scam!!!! It's a way for parents to spoiled their little brats. The cup is small AND it's not cheap. The price is probably marked up by 200% just because it's in a branded cup.

My oh my~ what is the world turning to when a caffeine induced venue starts to target the young ones?
