100% Fobulous Baby!
I recently splurged on an item---that's right! I bought a scooter! Sure, I know its dangerous and I might get hurt or hurt others and a whole bunch of blah, blah, blah's. But I'm looking at it as an investment.
Sadly, it is not yellow. It's your typical silver scooter, which I shall name "Quick Silver". (So unoriginal--and I'm in advertising too!)
I just hope it doesn't get stolen *knock on wood!*
Anyhoo, the scooter did set me back a bit. I've been working 3 months and I havne't saved a penny. Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.
All I can say is "Vroom, vrrrrroom baBy!"

Phone tree
Current mood: bloated. Technically not a mood, but whateva.
The following is a true story.
My cousin called his mom (my aunt) and told her that I'm living the poor/ghetto life in Taiwan. My auntie then called my mom and told her that I'm living the poor/ghetto life in Taiwan. My mom then called my godmom (she's in Taiwan), asking if I really was living the poor/ghetto life in Taiwan.
After they hung up, my mom called me to confirm that I was NOT in fact living the poor/ghetto life. Not too long later, my godmom called.
WTF!?!

IKEA!
Weekend recap...
I decided to take a break from teaching English on Saturday and cleaned the apt. Well, more like remodeling... Kieran came over and we finally had the man power to disassemble the bunk bed. My room finally looks a like room--more like a dorm room! Amanda's room is a classic musicians room and Alice's room is straight out of an Ikea bedroom showcase. Good stuff.
Went to Ikea with the girls on Sunday. I've always been curious at the food in the cafeteria, so that day while the girls had coffee, I bought a plate of their swedish meatballs. It was okay. Right when the balls hit your mouth, you'd think, "ew, I'm eating rubber!" But the flavor steps in and its not too bad.
Everyone had things to buy. I needed a blanket, duvet cover and another pillow. It took us about 2 hours to get to the check out stand and by that time, we were hungry again! Back to the Ikea cafeteria... This time around, Amanda and Alice split the half rostisserie chicken and I ordered the pig knuckle. It was huge but not as flavorful. Can't believe I ate 2 meals at Ikea. Who would've thunk? But the NT 35 all-you-can-drink deal was fabulous!
We went to the flower market afterwards and this lady tried to sell a poodle to me and Alice. Nice try, lady! But we ain't buyin your sick, lookin puppy for $1000!
I had the day off on Monday (Taiwan independence day) and just wanted to stay at home and have a Friends marathon. But we decided to shop at Carrefour (never again!) for some groceries and it was just torture! Madd people~ I hate people.

Black Magic Bra
Poked myself in the eye with my bra this morning (don't ask me how)... Eye sight is still a bit blurry. Shit, don't tell me I gave myself a corneal ulcer. What are the odds!?!

What's my age again?
Current mood: sleepy and constipated--lovely.
I celebrated my 24th (!!!!) birthday last Sunday (9/25). I originally wanted to have brunch on Sunday but my co-workers found out it was my bday and decided to have a bbq Saturday evening to celebrate. We've actually been planning a bbq for awhile and it was just prefect timing.
I was Mah Jong Nazi/Bartender Queen that nite and we were up the entire nite talking about work, future plans and playing tons of games. At 6am, the guys wanted to play ball and being the crazy bunch that we are, went to a nearby rec center and played 3 on 3. CRAZY!
I got home around 9:30am and semi slept until 3pm. Alice and Amanda surprised me with some much needed items of clothing!!! Thanks girls! And later on in the evening, proceeded to indulge ourselves with all you can eat spicy hot pot! Good stuff~~
Now that I'm a year older I still feel like I'm 15. Hmm--I should act more like a 24 year old. Maybe next year....
Met with M.E. for the 4th time today. Enough is enough!!!!
PS. I invited my co-workers home during Chinese New Years. On the cab ride over to the clients, I was counting down the months--5!!!!! Shit~
I've been working for 2 months now, but with the amount of hours I've logged in and how it really feels, it's like I've been working for 6 months... Has time slowed down or am I just getting old? o_O"

Personality Quiz
I saw this quiz link on Grace's site and I decided to fill it out. Pretty much on the money. Kinda freaky too.
http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long
