What is fatigue?

Ask me.

Fastest ever shopping spree!

Yes, people... I really did it!

Choosing 1 pair of black shoes = 15 minutes
Choosing 1 pair of black sandals = 10 minutes
Paying for shoes and sandals = 3 minutes
Choosing 1 pair of jeans = 20 minutes
Paying for jeans = 1 minute
Total time spent = 49 minutes

Conclusion: Esther pecah rekod! Yes, it's really true! The fastest ever shopping spree relative to the amount of items bought. Gasp! Have I broken the latest record of least time spent shopping? Have I? Have I? "Somebody call the Guinness Book of Records! Esther has done it again!"

Or was I just desperate? Muahahahaha! That's for me to know and for you to find out!

Cheers.

Outdated old me...

Okay, okay. I know my exam was over last Friday, and I know I should have been like, rushing straight to my PC, getting online, and driving myself crazy blogging and all, but what can I say? I got busy... Man, you guys have almost no idea of the great relief I felt that day, when I was sitting in that exam hall, writing what I knew was going to be like, the last few lines of words on my last paper... The feeling was simply... exhilarating. I mean, imagine this people - I've been waiting what feels to be one of the longest weeks in my life, just simply getting by day by day, counting down the hours to the minute I stride out of that exam hall, anticipating burning up all of this semester's notes and stuff... And what am I doing now that it's been 4 whole days since my walk out of prison into the setting sun of freedom?

Watching Meteor Garden.

I know. Some of you are possibly banging your heads against your computer monitors, but seriously, what can I say? The first time it came onto our national airwaves, I was rather dismissive of it. Y'know... The usual bunch of 'cute-cute' actors trying to make more money and gain more hysterical fans... I was like, "Oh no. Not another bad drama." Then one day, I had nothing better to do, so I switched on my television. Boy, was I wrong. To cut a long story short, I became a fan of the series, but unfortunately, I never did quite manage to understand the entire plot. Until tonight, when I finally finished watching all 19 hours of the Season 1, inclusive of the Making-Of section. Sniff sniff! It's such a beautiful story! And the actors are surprisingly good. No, they're GREAT! My favourite is the character Dao Ming Si, which was acted out real well by Jerry Yan. And of course, there's Hua Zhe Lei (Vic Zhao), Vanness' Mei Zhuo, and Ken's Shi Men... But my favourite's still Jerry Yan! I think I actually set a new record for my couch-potato ways. 19 hours in approximately 2 days and a half. Of course, after completing the drama series, my head was sorta spinning, the world looked a little woozy, and my knees kinda felt rather wobbly, but who cares? I finished watching the WHOLE thing! Muahahahaha!

So here's my public announcement now:
(1) If anyone has the Meteor Garden II series, please loan it to me!
(2) If anyone has any posters you don't want, please give me!
(3) If anyone has any live concert shows of F4 or anyone in it, please loan to me!
(4) I think I'm nuts. Do you think I'm nuts too?

All this, coming from a girl who doesn't even speak or understand passable Mandarin. A banana like me, going nuts over a Taiwanese drama of which I have to read the BM subtitles to understand what's going on. All I can say is, man, I'm nuts! *sheepish grin* Cheers.

7 days and counting...

Since last night, the total number of times I've been to the toilet because of diarrhoea has hit the number 4. Or is it 5? I dunno what's up with my stomache! It's going bonkers on me... Or rather, my bowels are. It's like, I could be sitting down reading a nice magazine (refer to previous blog entry, "How To Waste Time"), or lazing around fiddling with my laptop (again, refer previous blog), and all of a sudden I need to go. It's driving me nuts!

Anyway, I really have nothing to write here, right now. I'm just plain bored. I'm supposed to study (exam's next Friday), but I just can't seem to drag myself to pore over my books... Sigh. And I can't seem to access Yahoo! messenger, or MSN messenger, or a certain fun and interactive Yahoo! page... What's going on with my Internet connection? Argh!

Right, now moving on to another topic - Patrizio Buanne! Man, this guy can really sing! Of course, he sings mostly in Italian, and his debut album is called The Italian (he's Italian, by the way), but really, I like his voice and the way he delivers his songs... It kinda brings me back to my childhood days, y'know, watching cartoons and beautiful movies where the soundtrack suddenly shifts to one of those beautiful Italian songs to capture the 'romance' of the moment... Sigh. Patrizio Buanne rocks! And apparently he has a new album out! Gasp! Should I buy it? He's got some really good songs that I like in the new album... Like the Italian version of 'Only You'! I love that song! One of the best love songs ever! AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhh!

"To buy or not to buy, that is the question..."

And here's a picture of my buddy Trish and me, taken last Sunday, the 30th of October, after church service. Isn't this cool, Trish? Now you're famous! Everyone who reads my blog knows who you are! Muahahahaha! It's just you and me... And er, the metal canister for begging outside Starbucks eh? *grins*
