I got some nice things in Chinatown today ^_^ Initial D second stage DVD set [yay, english subs. Good english subs.], Initial D vocal battle CD and Initial D Vocal Battle Special: Red Suns. Wheeeee. I also have a copy of the Make a Wish CD by Vic [from f4]..... I made fun of Kins for liking him [I like Vaness.... somehow I think that's even worse.] 'cause he has a big nose and then I went and bought his album. The limited edition version no less. I was standing in the store, looked up and Vic was staring down at me from a big orange box.

And on the promo box his nose doesn't look big.

And I became weak. So here it is. It came with lots and lots of goodies. There's a cloth bag with Vic on it, cards, stickers, calender, photobook, photo carry case and an f4 star shaped pass. I dont' know what the pass is for. There's an advertisement in here too for F4 mobile phone covers. Oooooh. OMG I wish all CDs came with so many goodies, it's utterly gorgeous. There are many new japanese CDs in my local store too, but I didn't buy any because they're all copy protected O_o;; On the back it says you can't play them on PC or on Mac, so..... they're useless to me ^^; I can't rip them for mp3s and store them in my precious ipod. It's always the first thing I do now. I just rip t hem for mp3s and then leave the real CD lying near the computer gathering dust.

I hadn't meant to go to chinatown today, but Dad wanted to go, and it's father's day so. Eh. I'm meant to be studying! I have an exam tomorrow afternoon, but now I want to play with my new CDs and watch Initial D. And at 3 Dad wants to go see some house that's on sale and is near the golf coarse. he wants me to come again. As if he were going to consider buying it. I think the day we sell out current house and move is many many years away. He likes this one too much. Gaaaaah. Have to study study study. *flees* Why he make me do so many things today.

Hrm, it's father's day. I'm taking my Dad to dinner tonight. I get to pay this time. I get to pay this time. With the money i earned myself for the first father's day ever. And it's going to be worth the $100 I'm going to be coughing up. Do you know why? Because I won't have to hear the annual horrible father's day joke my father always ALWAYS tells the waiter when we get the check.

"Father's Day, father pay. Whahahahahaha" *waiter weakly pretending to laugh*

This time me. I pay. he can't say it. Before the money I had was earned from him for writing medical reports. But he still considered it to be his money. This time I earned it elsewhere >=D

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HE CAN'T SAY IT!

Hrm, car is off to the workshop next week I think. All my workmates wanted to come see it ^^; I had to explain what happened so many times. Wasn't going to tell Vachan or P, but MA blurted it out to them first thing in the morning XP;; Vachan is so nice. I don't like to make her worry. Thankyou to the people who wrote comments and wished me well, mary was in a bit of a state when she was writing wednesday's blog entry.

The people who hit me came over yesterday morning and we swapped details, had coffee and looked at each other's cars. My bumper left a big ass imprint in the passenger side of their car, the door doesn't open now. These people were really really nice. The man seemed a bit lost and kept asking me if I was ok. They were so nice that I felt bad that I made them feel bad even though they're the ones who ran into me X_x;;; I feel sad that them crashing into me makes them feel guilty.

Anyway, I'm fine now. I just took yesterday to rest. I had nightmares on wednesday night about it, but is ok X_x %$(%)* Mum didn't have to go and tell those nice people that I was traumatised and had nightmares about it. They looked so sad when she told them. She should have kept her mouth shut =X I'm sure they were scared after crashing too.

So so. It's weekend now and I'm so happy. I had lunch with Nahnah today and brought her to the canteen guy. She wasn't impressed. Rats XD And I've begun reading the most endearing book =] The little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. I really adore it. It's a story about a man who crashes in the desert and meets a little "prince" who has abandoned his home planet. A tiny little planet that is hardly bigger than he is. He's been travelling to different little planets and learning about grown ups. I describe it badly, but it really is very charming. I want to make a layout with the author's pictures and I would, if only my scanner would work [I want to make a layout out of everything that catches my fancy ^^;].

The front of my car is completely smashed in. The lights are dangling by their wires and the bonnet it just a mess. I'm surprised it managed to get me home. It looks like it will be in the repair shop for 3 or 4 weeks, because someone ran a red light and hit me. I have to report it to the police tomorrow, so I''m trying it get it all straight in my head. Mum says you have to write out all the details. Writing it like this first will help me get sorted I suppose. Forgive me if I go on and on, this is more for my benifit than yours.

I know it was at about 7:39pm because when I went back afterwards and sat in my car I looked at the clock.

The light turned green to turn so i went, but when I was moving a silver sedan driving quickly ran the red light. I saw him before he reached the line, and my light was green so his light could not possibly have just turned red, and slammed on the breaks. But not fast enough I suppose. The cars on the other side had stopped. He said he saw a flash of green then red, but that wouldn't have happened. The lights turn green then orange then red. He would've seen orange then red. He didn't slow down at all and the front of my car smashed into the side of his. Seatbelt did it's job, I didn't fly forward, but my knees hit the dashboard and I have bruises. He didn't seem to think much had gone terribly wrong because when I went to talk to him he didn't think there had been any damage to my car.

It was an indian family. Wife, Husband, Kid and..... a very short woman, who's age I'm unsure of. She looked quite old. The man driving wasn't terribly nice, he seemed to be in a hurry, gave me his number and name and wanted to go off, but his wife was concerned about me and asked if I was ok. She even offered to drive me home. I was alright while I was there. I really was. I smiled, I laughed. I said it was ok and asked if their kids were alright. I was shaking, but I was talkative and pleasant, but that was the adrenalin yes? The wife was very nice. She said she was a doctor and asked if I was a Uni student. She even prayed for me. Put her arm on my shoulder and hugged me. They said they would call me in the morning and give me all their insurance details.

But I was shaken and forgot completely about getting the registration number of the other car. I didn't think of it until I came home and mum yelled at me for not getting it. She's been telling my off every 5 minutes since, she keeps going on and on about insurance and police reports. And I'm hearing it but I don't feel like arguing right now. I don't feel like listening about insurance and how we have to claim, and how I didn't have the presence of mind to get their registration number. I went and sat with the dog for a little while.

This has been the third car accident I've been in, but the first where I was driving. And it always takes a while to sink in. So I was fine at the site of the accident, but as I was driving home I became progressively worse. By the time I got here I was a bawling mess. I started crying and shaking and I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I don't feel up to it? But V is the only person who could cover me for the evening shift and I know she hates evenings. She can't spent time with her little boy if she works and she always misses him.

So i don't know. I'll think about it. My eyes are all puffy and sore now, and I'm tired from crying unbidden tears. Maybe I'll go to bed early. I did really think I was going to die when I saw the car comming. But none of those things that are meant to happen at those times happened. My pitiful life did not flash before my eyes. There was no sense of calm. But there was no terror. There was one thing in my head and it was a profanity. It was the only thing in my head. But afterwards my first thought was "I don't have time for this. I have a cytology exam on monday!".

I can't believe that was my first thought after such a thing. Mr. K will be pleased that his lectures have so thoroughly invaded my mind.

I'm still at Uni now, plonked down in the computer pools. *dangles legs about* I'm supposed to be studying, but now I feel like blogging so, bleh. Here I am =P

A rosella flew into our kitchen window this morning while I was making my lunch. I was so worried about it. I ran outside and put it in a shoebox, then woke my mum up to make her fuss over it XD;; I was nearly late and for the bus and didn't eat breakfast 'cause I wanted to stay with it. I hope he's alright. I phoned home to ask but no one picked up. I hope he's ok =[ Poor birdie

MA applied for the scientist position at our lab, because D encouraged her to. She doesn't want it and said she shouldn't have applied now =X; Apparently D, really really encouraged her. D's friend downstairs is also applying tho' and right after talking to MA, D went and told the person in charge of hiring that she should hire her friend instead of MA =X She told her all these reasons that he was better. No wonder MA is pissed. It's so mean X_X; D only wants to appear nice. She always does her best to look like a good person, but this is very weird. Apparently she did something similar to N as well [but worse. What happened to N was much much worse]........ But I tend to take what N says with a pinch of salt because her english is a bit iffy. It's hard to tell if she's being hostile or if she just isn't using the right words to express something. Sometimes you think she means one thing but she is actually trying to tell you something completely different. So when I heard it from her before I didn't really believe.

I really like D though =X I don't think I could ask for a better boss. She always makes sure I'm alright and that I'm not too stressed from Uni to work. She always tells me I don't need to work so hard, and if she thinks other's are leaving me to do everything while they laze about she sends me off on break or shifts me elsewhere [I can take care of myself, I don't need that, but it's nice]. She organised an afternoon tea at work on my birthday. But then again I suppose I'm not terribly perceptive. I think everyone I meet is nice until they do something to me. Unless they do something to peeve me I never think they could be bad. Or it dawns on me terribly slowly. I just prefer to think the best of people, but there are times I'm blinded myself with that belief.

This wasn't supposed to be a serious blog post. I was supposed to be just taking a break from work. I was supposed to blog pleasant things. I wasn't supposed to go on and on X_X

*flees* Just pretend I didn't blog that~~~

You know how sometimes when you play racing games you swerve with the car? Like if you turn your car right you actually lean to the right? Apparently when I read Initial D manga I do that. Which is..... weird.

It's odd that I like Initial D now. NOW, when it's been picked up and I can't get fansubs. NOW, when I previously refused to watch or read anything to do with it because the art was ugly. I actually like it now. I like Takumi, I like his odd facial expressions and the bored look he has on his face. I like the cars ^_____________^ Rats ^^;

I want to make a rally car layout now. There's a Trueno layout comming when I can scrape the time together and if NahNah is very very unlucky it will happen at Soup Opera [my turn to do next month's layout], in which case I'll probably be banned from ever making a layout there again XD;

Ah, I've finished reading High Fidelity [it was sitting on the desk saying "read me, you know you want to". 5 minutes I say. I'll read you for 5 minutes then go back to work. But it never works that way, selfish book], and listened to the Vanilla Sky soundtrack over and over all day [you'd have thought I'd have tired of it but.... no.]. I have now resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to get any work done today. None. Nil. I knew I should have gone out ^^; I missed the CAT sale too. I wanted yellow CAT boots and a blue and yellow slingbag. Ahh *sighs* I missed the CAT sale.

Anyway, The Novacaine Network has been updated with all the little things people have been submitting and I've been too lazy to upload ^^;


9:23 PM   -  

I tried to go to Uni this morning but my Mum wouldn't let me =X She says seeing me go to Uni every weekday, then going to work 3 nights a week, then going to the library on weekends to study is making her tired. It's making her tired. lol But I can't get things done at home and there's so much to do. There are too many things at home distracting me. The gamecube screams to be played. The gameboy advance screams to be played. Books scream to be read. CD scream to be listened to properly and not absent-mindedly while I do homework.

I can't work here @_@ There's an exam next monday. And another one the next Tuesday after that. My haematology essay is due tomorrow, my microbiology practical is due Friday, I have to give a biochemistry talk in the same week as the cytology exam. I'm not really complaining right now, I'm not sinking under the weight of it at the moment. Just stating for myself that there's a lot to do so I'll actually sit down and do it. Just busy.
