Ok WOW, I am so hungry. But I am lazy to cook dinner tonight.
 
Let’s see, I did a lot of thinking on the bus home just now, and I am thankful for the many emails I received this morning. I sent one to my church friends to update and the responses were fantastic. I know I am so shameless. But anyway, everyone has been telling me the same thing. People want to know when I’ll be back because they miss me. Now that is very nice.
 
I miss everyone too. But I’ve gotten so used to the life I have here. Yes, can be mundane and boring, but back home in Singapore, it’s not as if I was a party animal going out every night. I do feel a little loved that there are people waiting to see me, hang out with me, and I also feel very blessed that people here have told me they’ll miss me, miss my company etc. It’s hard to choose, isn’t it?
 
Whatever it is, the email replies from some back home made me smile. At least I know I made a difference in their lives, and well, thank you to everyone who even said a hi because I am your friend.
 
Now, back to stoning, maybe cooking dinner, and I so need to update my WP.

Been lazy to blog. Just want to enjoy the last few weeks I have here, with this great weather, and great stuff.
 
Came home a while back from dollar shop. Cheap deals and new clothes! Anyway, I get to go grocery shopping tomorrow myself, but just thinking of carrying everything back myself sucks. Oh well, better than no food.
 
And now, back to being lazy.

Cooooooooooold! It’s freaking 10, feels like 9, and it’s dark. Did I tell you it’s only 7pm? But it’s dark like 11pm. Welcome to my winter life.
 
I am waiting for him to come home from class and eat dinner because I am starving and can’t wait to get my hands on the food I made. I know, I am pretty shameless. I love the food that I make that I am beginning to consider my career in cooking. LMAO.
 
Anyway, today is election results day. Actually it was last night, but we didn’t care. And and and, Obama won! Which everyone knows. I am so glad I don’t have to hear those governor ads anymore. Sucks and so annoying. Everyone was dancing at work, but I think the McCain supporters are pretending to be Obama supporters. Haha. At least Washington state is blue, yippie!
 
So this is a lame post to show that I am still alive and blogging. Cause you see, my life is very mundane, the same and no excitement. I don’t hang out a lot with friends because… Hmmm, I don’t know why, but I am lazy and tired. Yeah, good excuse.
 
TV time! And did I mention I am now getting very used to the rain as well!!??

Now I don’t celebrate Halloween AT ALL so this is just a post about what happened that day because I was down at the Y for work, and everyone was going crazy over it. A shitload of fun laughter and slackers around. Ahhh, now I miss work.
 
Let’s see, Martha decided we should bake some cookies, so I went to the store the day before and bought those ready made ones, as usual. Got macadamia with white chocolate chip that made 12, but everyone wasn’t into eating those so Martha and I actually ate most of it. Yum, of course. My lunch was from home, and hmmm, I am trying to remember what I ate cause it was nice. Hehe. But nevermind I can’t remember it so moving on. While washing up and waiting for the oven to preheat, Mario came and scared me in his costume which made me not scream but just freeze! He went out and told the rest and it was so funny that I started laughing too. Martha had on some cat ears and tail and she looked so cute!
 
As usual, day went by the same as it was. Talked and talked, and I decided to take the earlier bus because of bad traffic. Received a call from hon that he wouldn’t be back in Seattle by 5pm, so I should just take the bus myself. I managed to get the one before that(YAY! reach home earlier!) and by 4.50pm I was already on the freeway. So I slept, and then around 5.44pm I woke up and checked my phone. Realised I got a missed call AND I missed the bus stop! I get down at 84th, but I think I got up and it was already 19th so I realised, to my dismay, that I missed the stop. First time in my history of taking the bus here. Got down at the ferry terminal(which is the last stop and thankfully not so far away from home) but called hon back and realised he was still stuck at Seattle. Awwww! But that gave me time to prepare dinner and it will be ready by the time he’s back home.
 
The day ended like any other(I know, so boring). No kids came by asking for candy, so we spent the quiet evening just watching tv(and since it happened a while back, I forgot everything again hahaha). Chelley asked us to join Christian and her, but hon gave the excuse that I was tired because I slept on the bus. Lmao! Good excuse any day.

So let’s see, the stupidest thing so far to happen to me was the daylight savings thingy. 3 of us(hon, Jess and I) didn’t know about it, and when it happened sunday morning, we were still in the unknown.
 
Saturday night, Jess spent the night playing video games with hon. I was tired so I slept early. There was a 60% chance that it will rain on sunday, so I already had the thought of just sleeping in. I got up around 8.30am, went to pee, looked at the clock and went back to bed. Yes, didn’t go to church. Jess was to meet his mom, so hon went to check on him to see if he was awake. Time check, just 9am. An hour later, they were awake and I think watching a movie. Another hour passed, and it was 11am and I was wondering why didn’t Jess leave yet. No, I wasn’t intending to chase him out, but he was to meet his mom for breakfast. 11am you leave, what breakfast!? But anyway, hon came in then and told me it was only 10am. Daylight savings had already been done that night! So that means, I got up at 7.30am, and still could make it in time for church. And that means my alarm was set to 6am(just in case). WTF. My first time experiencing daylight savings, and I didn’t take advantage of it. Considering that we’ll get an extra hour of sleep, I should have slept later, like 2am or something, and wake up at 7am, which will be about 6 hours of sleep instead of 5, cause of the extra hour of sleep.
 
But anyway, now that it’s been done, it will mean I have to spend my nights talking to my family in cause it will be too late for them to talk on their night and my day. I do like talking to them on my day, so if I get up early, that’s the only consolation I get. Sigh. The bad thing is, by 5pm it will be super dark. Going home from work will seem like I reached home at 8pm. Seriously!!
 
I asked hon how did they know that the savings was in play. He said Jess looked at his handphone(which will do the switch just like the computers, which means at 2.59am, the next it will be is 2am) and then looked at the kitchen clock and was wondering why the time was different. Hon looked at his handphone too and realised the same thing! Well, thank god, else Jess would have been late for his breakfast with his mom. Hahaha.
 
This morning when we walked to the bus stop, it was kinda bright for 7.20am. I just can’t imagine the dark nights, and it will be raining for the next few days. I have to get used to it if I want to live here. -_- Not that it is bad… I don’t mind the rain, but strangely enough, I am getting very used to the cold. Especially cold when it rains.
 
Sun will set at 4.47pm today. Thank god I am home. Supposed to work but that’s a long story for another day.

Found this off another blog. I wish I was more creative to think of such a nice poem(but I think she wrote it herself!).
 
I’d rather have bad times with you,
Than good times with someone else.
I’d rather be beside you in a storm,
Than safe and warm by myself.
I’d rather have hard times together,
Than to have it easy apart.
I want to have the one who holds my heart.

I finally met (gay)Dave again and I am so happy!! It’s been almost 2 months since I have been here, but Dave didn’t know I was around… At least not on the day I got here, or even knew I was coming here. But Dave, being Dave, didn’t really know about the whole situation AND he was talking about himself the whole evening, so I guess that mystery is not solved yet.
 
The story of Dave is this. Hon and he went to High School together, but they hardly talked. As fate will have it, they met each other 2 years ago, working in hon’s ex workplace. They hung out more, and even though both of them don’t work there anymore, they still have been in contact, meeting up occasionally because Dave is such a busy guy.
 
And why is he gay Dave? Because one of my friends(name kept secret to protect identity) said he looks gay. And Dave himself admitted he does look gay. And yups, men have hit on him too. Lmao. But anyway, it was great seeing Dave again. He’s such a girl, always talking about himself, and never letting people talk at all. In order to not be a third wheel, he actually brought an ex co-worker of his with him. That lady(hon and I forgot her name, opps!) was very cool, letting Dave cut her in while she spoke, but also cut him when he was speaking. That was very funny, and they looked like a bickering couple!
 
Of course, bless Dave, because he paid for dinner! Woooooo! We had the Mediterranean cuisine down our place, like walking distance so hon and I took our time to go there. Dave was late(as usual) so when he called to say he arrived, hon and I didn’t leave immediately! Yes, mean I know. But it wasn’t me! Cause hon was too engrossed in tuning the tv which arrived that day. 52″ Samsung flat screen. It’s so big, but I don’t know why I kept thinking it was 58″. Lol.
 
Anyways, Dave updated a bit about his life, gossiped about others, which he is good at although he claims he only says facts, and not fiction. Hon and I were laughing about all the silly things he used to do at their old workplace, especially things with booking of flights(old job required a bit of traveling). Dave is cool though, very cool, and funny, lame, so many things to describe him! I know I never really have opinions on his friends, ok I do, but I don’t like to write about someone after meeting them for the first time. Dave is one of his friends who I got comfortable with on the first time, which is nice. There are others too, but Dave left the deepest impression. So maybe I am a little bias towards him.
 
After dinner, we came back to our place for a movie. So seeing that Dave has a car, hon said he might as well drive us back. And then we realised the car was so packed that eventually hon and I just walked back and they went in Dave’s car. OMFG! I couldn’t stop laughing. His window was broken that he even had to open his door to talk to us. LAME! But good entertainment.
 
Anyway, considering that I didn’t have time to blog about it that night, I have since forgotten some details. But it was funny, so funny. I had a great time and great dinner, so thanks again Dave!
