Same Shit, Everyday

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:03:06 GMT

I've just realized I should never buy more than half a loaf of bread. I just end up throwing some seriously mutated mold away.
Gods I am bored to be using the lj...

Buns and bonnets...

Here I am, marinated in aloe vera because every bit of my body is aching in some way...and ten days away from my first work vacation! Exciting!

Oh, I'm so looking forward to making some real dough back home. Earning almost nine hundred bucks a month for more than one thousand hours of work is totally, truly pissing me off. That's not even a buck an hour. And it's so unbearbly boring around here. Thank Goddess I've planned every detail to the T.

Yeah, that's how bored I am: updating this piece of deserted craphole when I know no one's going to read it.

I dream of drabbles with happy happy endings

Bernie Mac just died, people of the world. A great comedian, actor, a piece of black history now truly...history. Let's all light a candle and be jealous of those schnoozers up in heaven who just had a barrel of laughs knocking at the Pearly Gates.

AAAAAAAAAAnyway....nothing new. Kyan is super-duper-ultra-bored with her life and her job and her feet are killing her. She is soooo just waiting for Farah to come home already so SOMETHING happens. I am so ready to eat cheap-ass Carrefour sushi (or however you spell it, Geant is so much easier.)

I soooo should start writing my crack porn again...I miss the sugar-coated reviews...Nyaaa, Kyan should, Kyan should...Gods know I have enough time in the morning to knock off a few drabbles. Must find prompts...cute, inspiring prompts....mnnn...

Someone be my muse and kick me!

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:02:05 GMT

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
THIRTY MINUTES MORE AND I'LL HAVE TO START GETTING READY FOR WORK!

Oh gods, I don't know what to do...A year ago I couldn't even grasp the idea of having a steady job, and now, four months into this one, I remember why. Same bloody effing thing every effing minute of every effing day, I effing swear. I could bite through steel at the frustration I'm feeling right now. At least today, my shift's been changed (admittedly now it's from 12 pm to 12 am, and only for one day, but at least it's a bloody change), but dammit. Nine hours in the same place with the same people who have the same faces and the same attitudes they had yesterday, with the same breakfast, lunch and dinner crap, and the same job for me, over and over and over, like a never-ending fucking nightmare of utter boredom. And they don't even want you to stop after nine hours. Noooo, you must work bloody fucking more, you must, to get anywhere in life. AND your dreams and ambitions MUST align with the path you've chosen now, you MUST be a chef, you MUST stay for-fucking-ever in this blasted hotel with its blasted moron management assholes who fucking stalk you and bother your friends and its blasted too-fucking-cheap-to-buy-linen-so-we-have-to-use-paper-napkins-for-table-setup, only-have-one-juicer-in-the-whole-hotel, a/c-has-broken-down-in-the-middle-of-summer CHEAP ASS MINDSET because your dreams and your ambitions are fucking bullshit concocted by your babyish, immature, know-nothing-about-the-world mind. Excuse you?

Oooooooooooooh, makes you just want to choke a bitch, I swear. And no men! Not a single, attractive, decent male here who is not taken, so I can't even distract myself with that shit. And I look good! I look really good, for the first time in twenty years, so fuck working hard in the kitchen, just so I can get burned and boiled and scratched and cut and generally mangled, all for 8-fucking-50 a MONTH. Yeah, you better pay for my accomo, and my water and my electricity and shit, because at the end of the day, when you've sucked all the energy out of me and you've worked me to the bone and my brain is all dried out thinking for your shit, I'd better be able to crash for at least five hours before you do the same effing thing to me all over again.

That does it. I'm so studying. Eleven hours is enough. That's enough 'securing my future'. 'Then, they can just fuck off so I can start securing my effing life. I could seriously get into religion here, bring down the witchines on this place, study my languages, do shit to help me, not anyone else. No one said growing up and getting a job meant losing your actual own-time, and if they think they're entitled to it, then they can kiss my apple-bottom jeans :P

Murrrrrr...der on the Dance Floor, nya!

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:42:24 GMT

Geh....My life is washed and dried I do not even freaking remember what I did the past three days. I swear, my life goes in this order: Wake up, Put On Uniform, Go To Work, Do Overtime, Come Home, Take Bath, Sleep. Rinse, lather and re-fucking-peat. I swear, It's the same every damn day. And now, It's my day off, and dammit... At least last week I got the snogging of a lifetime (still think about it in the morning *sigh*)

I've done my laundry, hung it up to dry, brought it in and folded it. I've cut my hair AGAIN, cleaned it up made it as even as possible without seeing the back of my head. I've watched a movie and several comedies. I've cut up another shirt, and it looks hot, thankyouverymuch. I've gotten drunk, got kissed twice, slept for four hours by myself and four hours next to a guy and I've read a book. And it's still only five pm! There's nothing to DO here! After I'm done posting and changing my music though, I shall be shopping, cooking and wasting away in no short order, but still!

I got home early yesterday, that's why, and thank gods. I only come home on time twice a week, Tuesday and Friday, so hell yeah, I'd rather come home early and do nothing instead of staying in the kitchen. I did my hair and watched a movie, slept for four hours, woke up went to a party that was already more than half-spent, managed to get compliments for the new 'do and enough drink to get happily tipsy, got kissed twice by The Idiot with the Bitchy GF, the latter of which came in two hours after me and subsequently ruined the part-ay by turning on the lights and frowning in a very disciplinarian fashion. Or maybe the frown was because her shirtless bf was standing in front of me and two other girls (Alone I'm a pretty girl, but together, the three of us are effing HOT). Suffice it to say that I am mildly pissed at her, coz I like him and I want him and damn it all, SHE has him. But aside from that, we had fun playing Pass-the-Paper and doing some very hot dancing with my girls. AND I got kissed. Plus points for last night. AND I slept next to Eric, who is my Kuya, no biggie. I miss sleeping next to people...

ANYWAY...thassit!

So I said daily...big deal. Everyone knows I'm a liar...

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 17:37:24 GMT

July 3rd:

I broke a hundred and eighty eggs today. Yeah. Coz that's my life. I am Kyan Shellsmasher, I am. Totally Chickdeath.

AND! I got drunk off my ass on J&B with my pretty Ate Jen. We just sat around, chasing the alcohol down with chicken and soda, ranting about guys and generally laughing our asses off. I kept mentioning the cute guy who nearly ate my lips off the other night (I swear to the gods they're sore). I am quite hung up on him...

July 4th:

Farah's Birthday! And I actually managed to remember AND call her as well, which is pretty damn good for me...and can you believe the bitch forgot? Well, anyway...Yeah, I know you're sick, Farah-chu. This is what comes of feeding the cats first.

What else...I turned my room into a hair salon, and cut my hair all by myself. And colored it with Ate Jen's help. It was supposed to be red, but all it did was turn a lighter shade of brown...and that's AFTER we'd dyed it for three hours, with blonde AND red dye. Coz you're supposed to bleach it, yeah? Well, three hours and all we got was brown...red in a good light, but still brownish.

July 5th:

After yesterday's excitement, (and the excitment of theday before that, and my day off as well) I finally did nothing but sleep...for 10 HOURS! GEH!

July 6th:

We're back to boredomsville, but at least I updated. I'm planning to learn french by music, thanks to Nabil, but I got sidetracked and now I'm downloading Asian Kung Fu Gen and L'arc-en-Ciel. There is no excitment in Al Ain, do y'all know that? You have to freaking MAKE it, like it's a rarity or something. Can't even find a place to pierce my ears. I want one more set, and then it's tattoo time....except I'm afraid of needles and I still want to donate blood. Oh well...maybe when I get to Australia, yeah?

Updating from now on! I hope!

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:36:41 GMT

I spent last night making out with a guy I just met. Oh, and a damn good part of this morning and afternoon as well.

Can I just say 'geh'? As well as 'oMiFrIcKiNgOdS'!!! I just MADE OUT with a guy I JUST MET!!! Does daily exposure to eggs dose you with animal pheromones or what? AAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!

Honestly, I don't know whether to be pissed or pleased. I suppose I'll settle for slightly miffed and extremely ruffled, because DAMN that guy can kiss. Like, DAMN.

Aside from that (absolutely ravishing) part of my day, I really didn't do much. Or anything at all, aside from a two hour shopping break. I didn't even get an eight-hour catnap in. But hey, lying around in bed, watching tv and making out with a guy is a pretty damn good way to spend my day off.

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 11:33:35 GMT

WHAT the Hell? My life is going nowhere again. Just sitting here, reading fanfiction and BL, watching Scrubs. At least watching Scrubs expands my medical knowledge some. And I'm starting to want to write again. But still, what the hell?

You know those days when you just want to rip someone's throat out with your teeth because you're so bored and pissed with yourself? I'm having one of those.

Screw Life! I Am BACK, Baby!!!

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:20:44 GMT

I Am BACK, Baby!!! You can't keep a yaoi-bitch down forever, no way, no how!!!

Sorry, UGH ate my brain ...<(' x ')> But then again, I've got a new love! SwordxSen forever and ever! Oooo, it was so good, especially when you sit down and read the whole thing through without tearing your eyes off the twisted, murdering man-whores (like Norman...XD) I almost got as emotional as when I read Tokyo Crazy Paradise. Teh smex will keep me hyper for daaaaaaays. And even better, I downloaded RENT a few days ago, and I can't stop listening to it! I love Angel!

Oh, and to anyone who's interested, I haven't gotten a job and I'm studying Spanish, Sign Language, Zen and Paganism. FUN!!!

Livejournal, how I missed thee!

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 11:20:37 GMT

W00t! Etisalat finally got it's ass in gear!

Meeeeh, I've got too much to write about to actually write it! Too bad... I just remember we once made some absolutely delicious turkey, and some equally un-delicious oysters. And yesterday I made manju, but the bread sucked. The bean paste is yummy though. Today I'm making Aubergine Adobo for lunch.

I graduated three wees ago, finished all the schoolwork two weeks ago, and now I'm languishing at home after my molar extraction, which left me with a pretty darn cool hole in the back of my mouth. 'm just downloading lots of manga and appreciating the wonders of old musicians, like Betty Hutton, Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore. And it's such a bummer that they're all dead. Anyway, I'm just here, waiting for a chef apprentice job to come along while my mouth heals, and I'm starting to cook again, which is fun and really very cool.

Update: I made the Adobo. It's yummy, but a touch sour. We haven't eaten it yet, but I'm sure it'll taste great with hot rice. *drools and stalks to the dining table*

hum de dum

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 16:20:42 GMT

Just got back home from school today. Not so very interesting; hard and soft boiled eggs, poached eggs, eggs benedict and eggs florentine and omelettes. Last week was all soups and sauces. Most had cream, so it's very fattening. But in two days' time, we're doing potatoes, which is bound to be more fun. I'll definitely have to bring some home.

This:http://youtube.com/watch?v=xUIB5RlujXk just gave me a yaoi jumpstart. It's fun trying to spot your pairing before it flashes by.

Hoppy New Year!!!

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 06:10:36 GMT

Hi guys! It's 2007! W00t!

I got my pamano from my ninong yesterday, chu¬! And then yesterday, my parents brought me into the vicinity of a bookstore without knowing it, and I went home with an armful of culture: Around The World In Eighty Days, White Fang and The Call of The Wild, Vanity Fair, and The Moonstone. Very classical and very cool. And I still have lots of money left over! Time to complete my Discworld collection!

Books...

KUKUKUKUKU!

Farah and Sarah, I shall call you today! On or about today, certainly. In the general area of today-ness. Coz, like, I'm going to school today and have nothing to do when waiting for the bus. So, yeah...

Merry Christmas Y'all!!!

Mon, 25 Dec 2006 09:31:03 GMT

Dec. 23, 2006

Went to school to make food for the Ambassador of Nepal. Called Farah on the way, but the line was cut. Sorry. Decorated a very yummy looking cake, made some sandwiches and quiche. Went to church, made fun of the choir because I could, and went home.

Dec. 24, 2006

Didn't bother going in for class coz it was theory and tests and whatnot. Finished the Clues game for my parents and bro-bro, made a Waldorf salad, ate ham, took lots and lots of pictures. Had fun.

Dec. 25, 2006

Got up damn early for mass, had a breakfast of doughnuts, started my family on the Clues game. Took them nearly half an hour to do it, and I'm very proud. Watched Last Holiday, and now wishing I still had my computer so I coud download more movies. Still feeling the loss of Thud! and Good Omens and Wintersmith. Gods, I want money. Right now though, I'm writing two Christmas-themed stories, and hoping I get one finished for the end of today. A little seasonal present for my fans *gets struck by lightning*

Myuuuu¬

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 04:56:54 GMT

I made quiche yesterday. Perfect quiche, with bacon and cheese. Perfect delicious, yummy quiche. And someone stole one to use for presentation. I wasn't so pissed, since I used up all my pissed-ness yesterday, but Aleicia got nicely angry on my behalf. So yeah, I'm hoping they do shape up soon, wifey-chan, otherwise Aleicia and Matt will go on a rampage, and I'll be happy to go along. At least I got a little taste of it. And we made profiteroles. I stuffed mine with cfeam, partly because I didn't like the way the tuna was going, but partly because I wanted to be different and be sure that no one could be able to steal mine.

Also, Matt wasn't there yesterday. I get to show off without him around. It's fun, but I miss him. He's coming in today, and we're making stuffed mushrooms. Make you want to come home yet, Farah?

And on Saturday, they're making us come in to make food for the Ambassador of Nepal. That means I miss a day off. Bummer.

I do need more icons...must find more.

Pflooflaaaaa....

Wed, 20 Dec 2006 05:18:44 GMT

Hum-drum... I'm one person with the holiday blues. I wonder who the rest are? Though I'm only blue coz I have no money to spend.

Good Lord. I just saw the user look-up of someone who has been playing the game for six years. Wow is all I can say. And here I am, proud to have saved 300,000 NP.

I feel so useless in my chef school. I don't feel like I'm doing anything aside from cleaning. Don't get e wrong, I love cleaning, especially in a nice big place like the school's, but I kinda enrolled to learn how to cook, not how to put dishes in the dishwasher. All I do is clean and eat, a good deal, but it's kinda pissing me off.

Farah, get here already!

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 05:34:24 GMT

Little update...

Dec.14, 2006

We made lots of salads. With onion in them. We made coleslaw. With onion in it. I hate raw onion.

Dec. 15, 2006

We went to Fujairah for a cluster meeting. We went, but me and the other youunglings who had something better to do with our time stayed outside. Loitered, if you will. And we found puppies. Two puppies. And we took them home to Sharjah. End of story.

Dec. 16, 2006

Toyed with the idea of calling Farah and Sarakins. Didn't. Meant to, but didn't.

And now, I'm thinking of calling them again. Sarakinzypie, if you're reading, no I ain't available on the 22nd. Maybe on the 23rd? Or you could...I dunno, visit me in my college. Why, what'd you have in mind? And Farah, are you here yet?

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 07:10:08 GMT

Dec. 11, 2006

Theory was absolutely boring as usual, and the teacher insisted on picking on Matthew. Even Aleicia (Isn't it such a unique turn to an already nice name?) noticed. On the upside, I did complete a very nice drawing inspired by none other than my talented wifey-chan, a cutely creepy Jack the Pumpkin King and his pumpkin. I'm very proud. Today, true to my current tendencies, I shall draw neopets, though I don't have to come in til 3. Oh, and Hamna skipped out. She's not doing the course with us anymore. Cheater.

Dec. 12, 2006

No class for me! Matthew and I finally finnagled our way out of theory, thanks to Shanaz. I wasted the day in front of the computer, playing the insanely addictive Neopets. Finally finished the Altador Plot and got my first trophy from Defenders of Neopia.

Dec. 13, 2006

Making a calendar for my mom and finally finding a use for all those boring accounting classes in Miriam. Yep, it took me that long. 'm going to take a bath now, and when I come back, I shall peruse the sketches of Neopets. I shall become an artist if it's the last thing I do, in between becoming a chef. Now that's time management!

First day...Over.

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 20:32:56 GMT

Okay, a little rundown of my wonderful day today: We had our first twelve-to-eight class. It was all well and good, except for the fact that we came in for our morning class, which started at EIGHT IN THE MORNING. Of course, I couldn't go back home, coz by the time I reach Sharjah, it'd be way past time to be heading back, so we all stayed, talked a bit, complained a lot (Shanjay told us we had a 6-day week. 6 days of a very boring, crowded eight hours of class. Fun.) and then me and Hamna has breakfast at Rydges Hotel. I had waffles :D

Suffice it to say that class was very, very boring coz we had already covered the basics, plus they're moving at an extra slow pace for the Nepalis, who want it even slower. I almost fell asleep in that class. I spent half the time pinching myself, and half the time drawing in my notebook. By the end of this course, I am so sure I'll be back to my old anime drawing self again. We were in there for FOUR hours, talking about the difference between steaming and boiing, over and over and over again. The lady teacher also kept picking on Matthew. We were begging Shanaz (one of the management people) to let us bunk class by the end of the theory session. We were the most pathetic bunch. I also think the new batch thinks we're a bit aloof coz we hang around each other so much, but it's soooo comforting to be around people with whom you don't need to unscramble the accent. Does that sound mean?

Our uniform is also going to be changed. We get checkered neckties now and a brand new jacket with he school stamp on it. Very hip.

I can't wait for the whole meat and offfal part. The sight of twenty-plus guys trying to gag down a pair of testicles will be absolutely priceless.

A twelve-to-eight class also means I can sleep in. Much joy. I can't wait to get started.

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 11:56:49 GMT

We went to a baptism party at Sharjah Mega Mall yesterday and I had a look at the movies. Slither, Apocalypto and Saw 3. Wow. Real Christmassy, would you say. Just...wow.

Sharjah is so limited. We only have three bookstores where they sell actual books, and only two have any supply of any Discworld books. Argh! I saw Good Omens and I didn't buy and now it's gooooone! And Thud! and WIntersmith are out. ARGH!!!

Ah, the tiramisu I made came out very well. I left the bowl for a moment and when I came back, the bowl gleamed. Yesterday we made all sorts of meringue. We had to throw so many yolks out, and we had to bake them for such a long time. I didn't get my hands on any to design, but Ami turned the Pavlova into some sort of Pineapple Monster, and Kannika madea very tropical Ireland out of her vacherin.Don't worry, you have to go to culinary school to get the joke. Did y'all know that Pavlova isAustralia's national dessert? Weird, huh? Pavlova wasn't even Australian.

I'm Neopet-crazy again. It comes and goes, like a disease.

Meh.

Tue, 05 Dec 2006 17:21:58 GMT

I got to school today! We made pizza and vanilla rice pudding and poached fruit...though we didn't get to taste the pudding. The poached fruit was okay, a bit on the sweet side. We had to poach it in sooo much syrup though, and then we just threw it all away. But then again we waste a hella lot of stuff. The pizza was gooood though, even if it was just topped with bellpeppers and mushrooms.

Side note on bellpeppers: I used to hate them. Now, thanks to this course, I kinda like them now. I like a lot of stuff. Like medium rare meat when I used to have it well-done. I'll never like testicles though. Those who don't know, don't ask. Bad, bad memoriess. Though probably not as bad as Matt's.

Hmm...I made tiramisu today too, by myself. Somehow the things we do at school, I can never seem to replicate at home. Yep, definitely. I don't even know if the tiramisu I made is any good. To really get into the stride of this whole cooking thing, I have to make food non stop. Unfortunately, we're a bit lacking in the money department at the moment, so I can't cook as much as I like. But then again, come December 15, my Nepali bros are gonna bring the chef-ness down on us. I hope I can keep up.

Also bought more gifts. I'm making good time. Have to finish Kuya's gift by tomorrow though, since he's leaving...tomorrow. Yep, gotta hurry.

Maybe I can make pizza tomorrow. Would be nice...

P.S. - I want icons! I'll do anything for an icon! Any pairing you like! (<¬ the only offer she's qualified to make)

Meh...

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 06:34:29 GMT

I am such a bad person. I didn't go to school this morning. And we had a test! Now I have no one to cheat with!

My alarm clock/cool new cellphone didn't ring. I'm a light sleeper with very sharp ears. I would have known if it did. And now I feel totally guilty, because some friends of my parents' were supposed to drop me off at the bus station, and they had to wake me up by calling me. It was 5:40. I'm supposed to be up at 5. I'd have reached school by 9:30. For those of you who don't know, school in Dubai starts at 8. I would have been totally screwed. Again.

Hmm...our practical was probably a bread or something...that's okay. But the test! Gyah!!!

Anyway, I'm rotting away at home now, so I might as well do some chores. After I make my peanut butter cookies. I have an interesting theory about these things. I've also got a Things-to-Do list bigger than my cellphone.

In the meanwhile, I'm watching the old Fantasia. Ooo, the Chinese mushrooms! And the pretty goldfish! And the centaurs and what not! Disney was so much better back then. Each movie really was a work of art...

I shall be updating...coz I'm just that jobless.

It's My Birthday Today!!!

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 17:19:54 GMT

Well, technically it's almost over. Four more hours to go. Hmph.

I'd like to say I had fun today, not a lot but I had fun. Woke up at eight-thirty, got a little frazzled trying to make enough sauce for the blasted pasta, but I pulled it off quite nicely (I must learn how to use salt). Like I said, anyone can make pasta (GoodLord,Thankyouformakingitdigestiblenadvaguelypalatablethankyouthankyouthankyou). I had a very nice breakfast of birthday cake (mocha with butter icing :D) and a few bites of the pasta because I nearly drove myself insane trying to get the taste just right. But anyway...

I spent 11 to 2 bumming around, having a nap, eating free chocolate and getting kisses and birthday hugs (no gifts, as always) from people, which was pretty good and exactly how I wanted to spend my birthday anyway, with the addition of a movie marathon, a humongous pile of nachos and an even bigger pile of manga. The nice thing about YFC is that there is no shortage of people to kiss, hug and squee with. It's very cool.

2 to 5 was spent honoring Ate Chinkee, our full-time missionary who is now going back to the Philippines to join the SFC (Singles for Christ, same group but for the older, unmarried people), admiring my birthday jacket (which I love to death and which I will take with me to extreme old age coz it is just that cozy), and eating. The eating was gooooood.

5 to 6 was people saying good bye for the long trip home. Did I say that a lot of Abu Dhabi people were there? A lot of Abu Dhabi people were there. We go to Abu Dhabi every other month. It's nothing now.

6 to 7 was me going around Sahara Mall looking for Christmas gifts. I have a good start, I think, for a girl with a meager seventy dirhams (yes, it is so freaking meager, you have no idea. Dubai, the land of malls and mall-owners on the lookout for your money).

7 to 8 was me trying to get home. The traffic was just hell. It took me an hour to get home when the drive from Sahara to my house is just fifteen minutes. I had to pay eighteen bucks!

Ooo, Farah, the weather here is so nice! It's cloudy and cold and rainy, and yesterday, it rained all day and the streets were flooded and it was so COOL! I always have perfect weather for my weather though, and this morning it was quite sunny, but cold in a nice way. It's raining again now though. Yay!

And now me and my bro-bro are having a very nice late supper of Hardees. A Chili Lava for him, and Chili Fries for me. I'm breaking the No Meat rule just for this, and it's well worth it. A marriage of three of my favorite foods. Very yummy.

That's it for me today. Wish me good luck tomorrow!

I had time...

Sat, 02 Dec 2006 07:18:33 GMT

You all are going to be so proud of me! I have a to do list! I made one, anyway. So far, I've ticked off...one item.

I'm going Chirstmas shopping today, I hope. Can't believe I have four main people to get presents for and I only have seventy bucks. Not to mention all the miscellaneous people I have in my unexciting life. Darnit.

I'm going to try making bread again...melon bread, this time. Gods help me if it turns out crappy again. But on the upside, I'm making pasta. No one can make pasta taste bad, not even me. I'm good at pasta. But I have to make enough for at least thirty. Damn. That's three packs of spaghetti, not to mention all the cheese. And the sauce. Oh well. At least making pasta is fun.

Oh, and if anyone can tell me the whereabouts of the Cats Musical DVD, I would be most grateful. Can't seem to find it around here.

Um...I'm back?

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 06:56:57 GMT

Is it totally bad that I've ignored my precious blog for almost half a year and am now only posting because my brain is feeling so squished from NOT finding any decent recipes for thrice-damned melon bread that I've been dying to make for over three months now and I'm THIS CLOSE to just giving up and making a sort of peanut-butter-cookie-wrapped-around-coffee-flavored-bun that only has a passing resemblance to aforementioned melon bread?

And did that sentence make any sense? Not that I care. Coz, like, I only have a maximum of three friends who actually bother to read through LJs, and they've probably forgotten all about me by now, living their super-cool lives in their super-cool, very-far-from-the-desert countries (Except Australia, but that's not authentic desert. Their sand is red. Ours is sand-colored <(T.T)>). S o actually, there's no point in me posting anything, coz no one's gonna read it.

If I ever posted anything remotely this long on FF.net, my readers would freak. That's how long I've ben gone.

But anyway, if anyone's gonna read this, I'd just like to say that yes, I'm still alive, yes, I'm still on the chubby side, and YES, I'M IN SCHOOL! IN A FREAKING AUSTRALIAN SCHOOL! IT'S A SIGN, DAMMIT! A SIGN!!!

Ahem.

Technically, it's a school-type school. More like a...a not-school-type school. Well, college, coz I'm definitely in that age bracket now. It's a non-college. Yeah. Coz it's not technically a college when you only have three hours of school a day. But all that's gonna change soon, fortunately (or unfortunately, if you ask my feet). My new classmates are going to be Nepali. Thirty of them, more or less. (And one girl whose boyfriend was so hot in a rustic-cute kind of way. Garden implement) And they all want to work soon-ish, so the classes are going from a lazy 8 to 11am thing to a very hectic, crazy, killer 8am to 8pm, five days a week. And I only have one uniform. Crap.

Oh, did I say I'm in a cooking school? I'm in a cooking school. Sydney International Courses/College. Check it out.

And I'm graduating in three months. I joined in September. Miss Dropout is still gonna graduate before y'all. Take that.

Hey Farah, I know how to make tiramisu now.
