Happy Birthday to me~
Received a knock on the door at around 12:00 am yesterday morning. It has become a tradition here that cakes are brought out, candles lit up at midnight. I remember last year, I was actually sleeping when the woke me up. KE got me a berry cheese cake. Topped with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries. She got it from Myer.
They already planned to take me out for a meal. Their treat, they said. DT said that he'd assume I'd go for a "guai lou" meal. I made life easy for them and told them that we should go to TGIFs after some consideration. I'd just been there last weekend with AL. Anyway, they said it was my choice since it was my birthday and they wanted to get BY to come along as well. So that was that, it was decided that we would go to Doncaster's TGIF's for lunch.
We met BY there. He got me a little gift, an Espirit keychain. Very thoughtful of him. Proceeded to have lunch. Admittedly, the meal was as enjoyable as it should have been. The food seemed to be a little dry. Not only mine but the rest of theirs too.
I have no idea what madness came over me because I finally got myself an XBOX. Yes! A fucking XBOX!! I've been reading the forums and people were talking about this deal. $399 for the XBOX, Halo, a DVD remote control and a DVD of your choice. If you see it from my point of view. It's a good deal. Good is an understatement. It's a FUCKING BARGAIN!.
Let me put it in simpler terms for a casual shopper. When it first came out, the XBOX had a price tag of about AUS $ 700. Within 2 months, the price dropped to $ 388 simply because alot of people do not like Bill Gates and Microsoft products. Just because it had the Microsoft brand-name on it, many people were saying bad things about it. Anyway, some people were not bothered by this and got it anyway. These people actually claimed they liked it more than their PS2s! *shock...horror!* Some even stopped playing the PS2s after they got the XBOX (Chris "Frodo Baggins" James is one such person).
Anyway, I was in the midst of doing a price comparison and I was side-tracked. So, $388 for the XBOX alone. Along comes this promotion - $ 399 for the whole lot PLUS a DVD of your choice at Electronics Boutique (EB). And there was one in Doncaster. I headed there and checked out the price. Then I went down to K-Mart to check the price as well. Turns out that K-Mart doesn't have the offer with the free DVD. Went back up to EB, ready to make my purchase when I find out that they've sold out! They've fucking sold out of the special Halo/XBOX packages! I thought the Japanese were crazy about their videogames but Australians are as well. Did I mention that this promotion started that morning (the 24th) and they had already sold out! Finally, I went back down to K-Mart, they had the package for $ 11 cheaper minus the DVD. Went to the counter and asked them about it and they said they just sold the last box! I couldn't believe it. Totally unexpected. The girl asked her colleague who mentioned they had another box in the store room and he would go get it. I picked up "Hunter: The Reckoning" as well. And now, I'm a proud (???) owner of an XBOX.
Dropped BY back at his house and had a short tour around. Quite an impressive place going by the reaction of the girls. We were there for about 10 minutes or so then we headed of home. I got changed and it was time to test out my new toy. I don't know if its because I was not feeling well, or it was due to Halo that I got a headache. Stopped to watch abit of tv (Andromeda, Mutant X and WWE Smackdown) and didn't touch the XBOX until this afternoon.
Was supposed to have met AL this weekend but I couldn't get her when I called the other day. The phone was engaged. Wonder how her exam went.
And here goes another weekend. About 3 weeks before Resident Evil for the Gamecube comes out. It's going going to be an expensive 4th quarter of the year for me. Lots of games coming out, that I want. OUCH.
More to come.....

OK - this update should be short. It's late and I need some sleep, soon. Things were a little different this week. Spice in life is good. Not the same routine.
Work was as usual. Except for that day when I had to actually clean up someone's shit of the handicapped person's toilet. Someone must've had diarrhea or something and crapped all over the floors. Then some idiot (or it could be the same person) decided to try clean it up abit but the damned fool threw the toilet paper aside and got shit on the wall as well. *Sighs* The things I have to do for money.
Friday night, some people at work decided to meet up for drinks and stuff. Went to a place called "The Harp". CJ has mentioned that he would do some gambling and he mentioned that he never came out of that place losing money. Sounds like a brag? I've heard this quote once and it goes like this:
"It ain't bragging if you can back it up".
Back it up he did. The first round he was there, he put in $ 20 and won it back plus an extra $ 100 more. When Tom arrived later, he won about $ 70 - $ 80 again. Tom lost the entire $ 5 of his when he tried. We ordered dinner, played a game of pool while waiting for the rest. Mandy showed up with Steve (her boyfriend, I think). Then while she was having a smoke while we played pool, a waitress asked for her ID. She forgot her passport (She's a New Zealander and that's her only form of identification) and she had to leave. After dinner, Tom wanted to go and offered me a lift home. Chris decided to stay as he had friends there.
Another thing I learnt is that Chris is actually a British who's been in Australia for a long time....so long that he's lost his accent. Interesting, he looks like Frodo Baggins and actually has English roots.... He could be a stand in if they ever needed one. Also, now I know he got his scars from being pushed into a fence playing soccer. He threatened to sue and the school paid him AUS $ 20,000 just to keep quiet about it. No wonder he could afford his Mitsubishi Lancer (modified) ?? Also, his middle name consists of 4 or 5 names because he was named after each of his grandfathers. How interesting.
Then, I finally called AL again last night. After Smackdown. Wasted no time, no beating around the bush. Asked her straight up if she had plans for today. She said no, so I suggested that we meet. OK. Finished. Easy as pie. Was supposed to meet her for lunch this afternoon. She said she would call before she left the house. Then this afternoon..she calls up and asks if we could meet for dinner instead. Anything is fine with me. Seems that she came home at 8:00 am this morning. OK. I did call her last night when she was about to go to bed. She did tell me she was going to bed early cause she was going out later.
Met her at about 7:00 pm at Jam Factory. And you guessed it, TGIFs for dinner again. Well, its about an average of once a month for the past 3 months now. She was stuffed. Talked about alot of things. Originally wanted to watch a movie but it might have ended too late and wasn't that suitable cause tranportation would be a problem. She suggested coffee back in the city but when we got there, Starbucks was closing so off we went to one of the sidewalk cafes. Talked some more. We actually ended up talking about videogames towards the end. She and her addiction to the PS2. Headed our seperate ways for home after that.
Did I mention what she was wearing? Black long sleeved fleece jacket with a maroon shirt inside with a scarf, hair clipped up nicely, with really tight jeans and thong slippers. OOooh... she also asked me if I've been working out - cause she mentioned that I look like I lost weight...and I looked "built". Sounds like a compliment if you asked me! *winks*
I did tell her about my birthday next week and she asked if I had anything planned. I said no and teased her and asked if she was going to plan something for me. Might be meeting her again this weekend. Will have to see how it goes.
Anyway, asked her to call me when she got home, so that I would know she got home safe. When I got off the tram, I tried calling but no answer. Waited another 15 minutes and the phone was engaged. 15 minutes after that, I got through. AL answered and I asked if she was on the phone. She said she was with her boyfriend. OK...not really something I wanted to hear. Abit of a disappointment actually. Oh well....
Got home and checked my email and finally, I have a picture of JS. Whoo hoo...she still looks as good as always. Abit shocked when she mentioned her son...and I think she actually meant her dog....*Phew*
I know I should be saving money....and I'm trying...but I've heard some news about a limited offer. AUS $ 399 for the XBOX + Halo + DVD Remote + DVD of our choice. It seems like an offer not to be refused! One week only starting the 24th of August. Oh damn.... what am I to do? If one works it out seperately, it works out to only $ 200 for the console! I must be / definitely am going insane.
And there goes one weekend. Back to the usual routine at 10:00 am tomorrow morning.

I seem to be updating this less and less. Could this journal be dying a slow death?
Nothing interesting seemed to be happening. I was late for work again once this week. Or was that last week. Time goes by so quickly I lose track of it. I remember I woke up 2 hours before I am supposed to start but I don't know why I just took my own sweet time. I realised I was late after my shower and looked at the clock. Anyway, I have to make up for being late so I had to stay back an extra 30 mins to make up for it.
Finally heard from AL again after about 2 weeks or so. This time, she invited me to call her so that we could "go out for a drink or something". I did try to call her last night around 10:15 pm after Smackdown but no one was in. I think the best time to call would be during a weekday. Or earlier. Don't know why I always postpone calling her. Why?
Called MC on Friday morning before work. The reception was bad, and got cut off before I even got to speak to her. Tried calling her again and again but just couldn't get through. Tried calling for the past 2 days but still couldn't reach her. Then I found out that she's gone for a holiday to Pangkor. She's going to get a scolding from me. Digi sucks as well. No coverage in Pangkor??
Went to watch "About A Boy" starring Hugh Grant, Toni Collette and Rachel Weisz. It was surprisingly entertaining. Didn't expect it to be since this isn't really my kind of movie. Went to Hoyts Chadstone with DT,ML,KA,KE and KA's friends AP and AL who are twins. After the movie, walked past Borders, which is a huge store that sells books and other stuff. Saw that "Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring" DVD was selling for about $ 28.95 which is $ 10 less that Recommended Retail Price! It's a 2 disc set but I might wait for the Director's Cut to come out which the movie is about 4 hours long, unedited - just the way its supposed to be, as close as the book as possible.
Speaking about "Lord Of The Rings", I just found out this week that Chris "Frodo Baggins" James from work is a big fan. Big is an understatement. What do you call someone who watched "Lord Of The Rings" 22 (twenty-two) times at the cinema?!?!?! I just had to spell that out to show that it wasn't a typo. TWENTY TWO TIMES. That's 11 times more than me. Erm. OK, that doesn't seem right. I didn't watch it 11 times, what I meant was 2 x 11 = 22. Therefore, I only watched it 2 times. Sorry about the confusion. I'm confused but isn't that correct as well. Oh forget it. I should have said ... I don't know how I should have phrased it.
Well, it's back to work again tomorrow. Just lazed around the whole weekend. Even time seemed to fly doing nothing. Just had to go out to get some groceries. Time to do some ironing after this as well.
I wish there was more interesting things to write about. Maybe next week.

Things were a little different this week. The usual routine at work but the end of the week ended a little differently.
I got up late on Wedesday morning. Either I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep or I didn't hear it at all. When I got up, it was 7:23 am, which is 7 minutes before my shift was supposed to start. I called the office at work and it was Marlene who answered. She didn't sound too happy when I told her I would be 1/2 an hour late. I had no choice as I normally take a quick shower in the morning as well. When I got to work, she seemed to abuse her power as manager. She was hassling me the whole morning and seemed to be in a shitty mood. I wouldn't blame her since there were only 3 of us working in the morning. It seemed to be extra busy as well. I did the best I could and I didn't take her complaining too seriously. Things turned out better when more people came in to start their shifts. She seemed to be alright the rest of the week although she's one on the "Dangerous Person" list of mine.
Decided to go to the city on Thursday morning to make some claims from Medibank and what a shocker! I just found out that there is a yearly limit on the amount I can claim on my medical prescriptions, which is $ 350 per calender year. Fucking fine print. Didn't see that. I guess I was too busy worrying about other stuff when I had to switch my cover. What it basically means is that I can no longer claim anything from Medibank for the rest of the year, assuming I'm still under the Overseas Visitor's cover. Might have to switch providers or look at a different plan when/if my PR application goes through. Thought I'd get about $ 100 back that day but only ended up with $ 17.50 which was the balance of the claims that I could get for the year.
Bought the official Prima Resident Evil Strategy guide which came with a huge fold-out poster for $ 20. Had to rush home to get ready for work after that.
Friday evening - FIRST FOOTY MATCH. Yes, they call football - footy. This is an Australian game. When I first saw it on tv, I didn't know it was Australian football, I thought it was rugby. Honestly, some people might not tell the difference. Ben was talking about this for weeks and he seemed more excited than I was. We agreed to meet at 5:15 pm on Friday and he would pick some of us up. I was there early, then Samantha came along. Ben arrived about 5 minutes after that and we had to pick Andrew up from Glenferrie Road. There were supposed to be more people but I guess they changed their minds at the last minute.
It was a match between the Collingwood Magpies vs. the Carlton Blues, which Collingwood won 141points to 33 points. Ben was a Collingwood supporter while Samantha was a Carlton fan. I have no idea which team Andrew supports. It was a good experience, Ben and Sam tried to teach me the basics of the game, which I think I did get. It was the experience that mattered I suppose. Don't remember if I ever been to a live sporting event before. I would have remembered if I did, since I'm good at events. So memory tells me I haven't been to a sporting event before. About 55,000 people there at the MCG Stadium that night. It's the sort of event where you get to see people at their worst. Had these 2 siblings (I assume) behind me. The teenage boy kept scolding his little sister, telling her to "get away from me, you stink, skunk!", "don't touch me!" and "shut up and watch the game" amongst other things. There was also an old man who was drunk or something who kept cursing throughout the entire game. Also found out that the captain of the Collingwood team is called Nathan Buckley who was playing his 200th game, which is supposedly quite a feat. There was a huge banner to congratulate him and I laughed when I saw it because "captain" was spelt "captian". I pointed it out to Ben who was sitting beside me and he was ashamed saying "you idiots".
The whole of today was spent at home, in front of the tv playing games and abit of tv after that. 2 new series on FOX8 today, "Andromeda" and "Mutant X". First one's by Gene Roddenberry, creator of "Star Trek" starring Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo and the other one is an X-Men clone.
This is it for tonight. Time for bed.
