It's freaking hot. Hot hot hot. Like the song in bend it like beckham, but not as fun, and no curry. I think I'm getting a headache from the heat. I didn't think I would have to complain about being hot in Edmonton, but 30+ C and no fan/air con is not fun. The deadliest of all... I tell you, is having to wear a bra when you're already sweating like crazy. We all know how sweaty the chest gets when it's warm... having extra layers of fat there sure doesn't help, and it's just gross when you're suffocating them in sweat and heat. It's gotta be a recipe for cancer somehow. Yes, I don't know how ppl who live at 40+ degress do it, hell, I don't even know how I do it when I was back home. But then we have fans/air con back home. Right.

Anyways. Was trying to work on my part time stuff, the boss, as nice as she is, have been trying to hint that things should go faster. I think. I'm not a great mind reader, especially when I'm sleep deprived. On Friday when we met I only had 2 hours of sleep the night before, rushing to get stuff done before my full time boss leave for vacation again, so I wasn't really paying attention to her expressions. Plus she startled me when she rubbed my back while saying hi, I'm not used to ppl doing that, though I've noticed that she do that to all her students. Yes, it's an all girl powered lab. I've never worked in a place with so many girls before. It's in speech pathology and there's probably 10 of them or more, I'm not sure. They dressed like they are attending a party or something. Ok, reprase, they dressed like girls on my floor (all 4 of them) would dress when they have to go to a party... except for me, I just don't go to parties. :D I feel underdressed whenever I walk into the lab with my sweater and jeans... which is odd, coz the labs I know, unless you show up with pjs or no clothes at all, it's pretty hard to be under dressed. The tech guy in our lab wore a t-shirt that was ripped at the back once. Anyways, not that I can do anything about it, if I start dressing up then I'll be over dressed for my lab. Heh.

Anyhows. My head hurts and I'm gonna go down some ice cold water. I vote for everyone to go braless next week when it's suppose to hit 37c.

C'mon, we get up to 45 degrees here in Perth. I don't wear bra though, haha.

Exactly, wouldn't you like it if everyone go braless there?

[12:51:05 AM]: I just realized I'm the kind that likes to keep old letters. [12:52:17 AM]: the sentiment of writing a letter, doesn't matter what kind, it takes effort.. [12:53:44 AM]: there is something incredibly moving about someone willing to go through all those trouble to tell you something, trivial or profound, especially when you re-read it years later and realize that the sentiment no longer exist. I was digging through store room boxes looking for some old course notes from undergrad. I accidentally discover some old letters and read through them. When I went on skype I said this. I wasn't sure if felt precious because 1) no body writes real letters anymore, 2)it marked a completely different time point in our lives where the sender find the need and the right to share whatever it was, with me, or 3)the realization that I actually got to hold on to something that I lost. Probably all of the above, depending on who you are. I wonder if anyone out there kept the let...

Sometimes all you need is one bad news to spoil your day. Today, unfortunately is one of those days. I found out early in the afternoon that it takes 3-5 months to get my passport renewed here. 3-5 months. I don't know who decided that was acceptable, whoever it was must have not lived in a foreign country, because it is ridiculous. The embassy told me they have to send it back to M'sia for processing. Well, I thought that's what a foreign embassy is for, so you can do things like that when you are away? Doesn't it only takes 3 days back home? What kind of mail service are they using? Pigeons? Whatever genius reasons they have, I really don't care. I mean, how could they not see that 3-5 months is a stupidly long time to be in a foreign country without a passport? Other than the fact that you are stuck the moment you mail your passport out for as long as it takes, you don't have that one piece of ID you need in almost any government related issue. Fancy MyKad do...

The time has come... I keep seeing wedding/engagement pictures/announcement popping up on facebook. I'm sure very soon I'll see baby pics popping up like spring bamboo shoots after the rain (I think that is the literal translation). If you are one of those who ask, "How about you?" Then you can be friends with my mom. If you are nodding your head and thinking that kind of reality check is kinda scary/crazy but you will shrug it off anyways, we can be friends. If you think I'm conflicted/bitter because of what I hinted at in the last post.. then I say thank you for paying way too much attention, but my head hurt so I might have been delusional. It would be kinda weird though, if I were to return. It would feel like suddenly everyone is 10 years older, with their respective others, career, babies etc. And all I have been doing was learning to live with myself. There is so much catching up to do.
