Another work-eat-sleep post..

I glanced at the bedside clock just a moment ago, and glanced again -- 11.14pm already. OMG It seems as if I just got back, just took my shower, have another few mails to reply, jacket washed halfway (still in e bucket), room to be cleaned etc etc etc. And I feel like sleeping early tonight. Impossible now, obviously.

Last week was a mad whirlwind of stuff going on. But out of it all I only worked 3 days...On my off day Monday, went in to CFV for my usual admin work and whilst there, met a new face. Rosanna's a new volunteer there. She's from the HK Baptist University and the uni is way cool - they actually sent a group of students over from HongKong to do work exchange and she picked a non-profit org (they arranged with the organisation sommore). Coincidentally it was her first day at work and she's prob glad to see me, cos the rest of the office was EXtremely busy that day n didn't have too much time to show her everything. Her first day at work and we OT-ed sommore hahh..but I think she'll enjoy that office.

Got sick on Thu so cancelled work but went in on Fri. The past weekend was so packed, but I enjoyed it even though I feel crap tired now

Had dinner Friday at Darrel's friend's place (Ed) in the city cos he was cooking - chappati and curry. Initially I thought it was the "frozen-chappati-in-packet" type but he actually made it from scratch --- as in made it from flour etc O_o Never cease to spring surprises eh.. Got back late and ended up almost falling asleep downstairs as I watched Germany v Argentina with the rest. Rarely get the chance to watch football (since its at ungodly hours here and I gotta wake up early) so decided to catch that match, but who knows it dragged on to extra time and then to penalties sommore. By 3 plus I was dead on my feet and going "whatever, c'mon just get it over 'n done with and let me go to dreamland..." Btw I was hoping for Argentina to win. They were the better team, but then again its football and it doesn't always happen this way..

Within a few hours after the match, with a coupla hours sleep tucked in, I trudged my way to the city yet again. Saturday was my 1st time dropping by Melbourne Uni. Haven't had a chance to form an impression bout there yet cos it was so windy/cold that day we just walked fast and kept our heads bowed. Hence I don't even remember where I was led to, figure its somwhere in the archi buildings. Attended a meeting there with Eric, Vincent, Ling & co. for a coupla hours. Quite productive and I suppose being in a smaller informal group provides a better setting for decision-making. A quick dinner with Fenella and Wen, and after that I left to MinHui's new place to bumm for awhile. The view from the top floor of her building is fantastic, to say the least :)

Not content with bumming, the next day we did the steamboat we've been craving for, plus LeeInn who came by. Aah hotpot in winter's the best!! No pictures though, didn't care to take any.. (btw my Flickr account's updated with new pics, check it out!).. Stayed over and went straight to work today. Work is getting abit unbearable, not just for me but for almost everyone. Its the monotonous nature of it all I suppose.. I gotta repeat to myself all the time now - "think of the bank account (MH suggests think of the "000"s)..."
