Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 29th Edition

Problem 1. Mom is psychotic.Originally posted by Fatum:so what's wrong with the status quo, whatever arrangements you have now ...
Problem 2. Baby brother is tired of renting.
Problem 3. I really liked my place. Its floor & unit number is actually my birthday. And its a place of my own. If I lose it, I will have to rent somewhere else which is the same price, but the place will never be my own. -
back from lunch..
since the guys are not around, i went and had bittergourd soup again.. actually wanted to try the szechuan soup.. but they ran out..
now that i've eaten lunch, i'm even more sleepy
5 more hours until it's time to knock off -
honeymouse, thanks for making the arrangements and leading the way to the farm! It was fun picking our own apples! So many varieties too!
I didn't know I'd need that many apples to distribute but guess I should be a bit more hard-hearted because when the others give out stuff, they don't necessarily give anything to me either. I should stop feeling guilty that not everyone had an apple because I can't afford that!
So, only the blue-eyed boys and girls (to borrow from a famous term so not to be taken literally) get apples! 
Did you give any to your colleagues? -
I think my current state of dizziness and nausea is due to my insomnia last night.
I couldn't sleep until 3am. To try to induce sleep, I tried flipping through my notes and arguing with my friend (two pages ago for details) why she shouldn't be plonking down $2000 of her parents' money in an MLM.
Oh well... my next lecture is at 2. My day ends at 4.
I'll try to sleep early tonight.

Oh! Yeah, hor!Originally posted by fudgester:If you wanted a team of cute firemen to rescue you, then you shouldn't have blocked the smoke detector. I was in quite a panic about it at that time because the alarm was so loud and shrill! I didn't have a chair nor ladder to reach the smoke detector up on the ceiling either so I was scurrying around my house like a headless chicken until I thought of my mop!
Now, I can joke about the firemen but back then, if they had really turned up, I think I would be in deep trouble!
I think it might be a regulation here that all houses be fitted with smoke detectors? They can be bought in supermarts here and fitted to the ceiling. They aren't those systems that are directly linked to the fire stations.Originally posted by hisoka:you have smoke detectors in your house? how much is the maintainence? -
stupid laws......Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Problem 1. Mom is psychotic.

ask share the place with your bro and ask your mum to "buy" a place? i think she old enough right? i remember got some stupid rule saying singes above certain age can own a place which is very small. -
so what's the preferred solution then ? .... you'd need a place, and your mom needs a place .... and the needs of both seems to be conflicting ....Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Problem 1. Mom is psychotic.

You should just leave it on the table and let them pick on "first come first serve" basis.Originally posted by Rhonda:honeymouse, thanks for making the arrangements and leading the way to the farm! It was fun picking our own apples! So many varieties too!

I didn't bring any apples in to give to my colleagues today as I haven't decided what to do with them yet (how many to keep for myself, to give to my in-laws etc).
Btw, my brother-in-law asked me to thank you for the photos.

i don't think arguing with a friend works as a sleep inducer.Originally posted by fudgester:I think my current state of dizziness and nausea is due to my insomnia last night.

Lack of good-quality sleep sure does that to you!Originally posted by fudgester:I think my current state of dizziness and nausea is due to my insomnia last night.

Is Rhonda still around? Don't tell me I missed her again
I just came back from eating the Sungei Road Laksa -

that only happened to me when i was awake for over 40 hours...
other times of sleep deprivation due to watching football or stuff like that, i just get sleepyOriginally posted by Rhonda:Lack of good-quality sleep sure does that to you! -
Here, let me get my good friend Russell help you....Originally posted by Fatum:where are the peektures of apples ?!?!?!?! .......

Oh, yeah hor! Should have done that!Originally posted by honeymouse:You should just leave it on the table and let them pick on "first come first serve" basis.

Btw, my brother-in-law asked me to thank you for the photos. But then, I have a few special friends in the ward I really wanted to give the apples to and also a few peeps I wouldn't want to give anything to! Maybe next time, should plan how much of what to get first before going! And also next time, shouldn't talk about the outing before it happens or else people start to 'reserve' your pickings!
Tell your bro-in-law that he's welcome! Tell him that next time we go pick something, he must turn up! BTW, the dimsum was really really goooooood!! -
Hey Rhonda, here's some info about the Grand Prix parade this Saturday. Are you going to be there all day? Otherwise we can do something afterwards.

Not sang KTV for a long time -

Oh! Thanks! Thanks!Originally posted by honeymouse:Hey Rhonda, here's some info about the Grand Prix parade this Saturday. Are you going to be there all day? Otherwise we can do something afterwards.
http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au/info.cfm?top=259&pg=2187&eventID=4061 It didn't mention what time the cars will be parading down Lygon Street though! 
Maybe have to call them up and ask!
BTW, the nice giant balloon in the shape of a sports car is up again! Saw it this morning with a patient! Very cute! Too bad I didn't bring my digicam this morning. I hope that it'll still be there tomorrow afternoon!
I'm getting excited! -
Anyway, I ought to get going now.
I want to go say my noon prayers... then go straight for the lecture.
Hope the smoke detectors here work just fine.
*me mysteriously disappears in a huge puff of smoke* -
I know what you meant. I'd do the same thing too, just give to those I am close to. The only thing is, I try not to make it too obvious to people I don't like....Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh, yeah hor! Should have done that!

I know that's how you feel too right? -
