Wedding Month - Survival

Im surviving the last few weeks into our wedding.

I survived week 4 which was my bucks/bachelor's party week.  I had a great time catching up with my friends but nearly lost a liver from the excessive drinking.  Amazon woman was hot. lolz.  I didn't spill my guts, but I think should have as I paid for it dearly the following Sunday.

Week 3 was a weird week.   I was told to go home from work because I was acting 'sick' :P  On the way home my car was hit by a plaster board which broke off from the truck in front of me.  It was scary as hell, like a scene from a movie.  A small propeller hovering from a far, then suddenly spinning its way straight to my car.  There was a moment of silent slow motion and realisation that it was going to hit.  Then BAM! A deafening thud.  Plasterboard stuck my car at speeds at least 100km/hr piercing my windscreen.

The bright side to this is I didn't have to call the repairer to fix a previous chip on my windscreen :P

Having survived the 'plaster of death' I am now fighting my waist line. Lolz.  The birthdays and celebrations this month has meant non-stop eating.  Big dinners and food food food!!  I literally had to roll myself to bed last night for my mom's birthday and father's day dinner.  This morning I went for a jog to work it off, but Pizza for breakfast kinda cancelled it out.  :P  This is my toughest challenge yet.

The world is falling apart

If you've been hiding under a rock the past few weeks, you should know that the world is in shambles. Financial institutions in the US has caused global financial stocks stumbling.

At first it didn't really bother me. I mean, how could something in Wall street affect me?

Then I found out that I'm losing lots of money in my superannuation.

Yikes.

Lucky for me I'm still (relatively) young. Pity for those close to retirement.

The market drop of 5% last monday could be a $30,000 loss to someone's retirement money.

That would hurt.

But what was really scary was the crash of September 28.

I was playing Guildwar with my friends.

My phone gave a warning chime saying it was running out of juice. So I plugged it in to my laptop to USB charge it. Nothing new here, I've done this thousands of times.

But then there was this 'tik' sound before my laptop went completely dead! I tried numerous times but I couldn't restart my lappy.

I removed the battery, shook the laptop. wiggled the power cords. Nothing!

I suspected the overheat controller stopped it from starting again because the laptop was pretty was hot.

And I was right!

After a few minutes cooling down it restarted again.... but I could smell burnt electronics!

Anyways, to cut a LONG LONG LONG story short, a faulty USB hub (which was giving me tingling sensations when I touch it) killed my laptop USB controllers. Now all my USB ports are dead.

The laptop gets hot very quickly now and it seems to crash more often. Its reached the end.

My laptop has become a fire hazard

*********

The same USB hub that killed my laptop also almost killed my phone.

Because the laptop USBs were dead, I charged my phone using the USB hub. This before I discovered the hub was the culprit.

The next day, my phone was blinking all funny and it didn't want to start up!!

NooooOOO I screamed!!!

Frustrated, I left the phone and did something else instead.

Lucky for me, that afternoon my phone started working again.

But it was a close call.

I already had ebay open looking for a new phone.

I bore holes on two jackets this week.

They also found some problems with the Hadron Collider.

Everything seems to be falling apart this week. Must be end of warranty season.

After Sydney, I think I fell into a hole of messed-up-ness.

Daaamn! Its been an awful week! Weather's been gross, my gums hurt and stupid freaking LAN games don't work!

Stress bombs are dropping left-right and centre! And to makes things worse - my bonsai is dying!! :(

Its like the lord of crapiness did a #2 then buried me in it.

Thankfully love always saves the day.

My girlfriend came back last weekend and it was really nice to see her again (after two weeks separation).

It was unfortunate that she was a bit sick. I was given a 1-meter restraining order so I couldn't catch her disease. Plus her soar throat made her sound like a man. She had a manlier voice than I did!

She was about as sexy as the gurgling sounds she makes when she blows her nose. All she did on the weekend was sleep, sneeze, cough and sleep some more. Luckily she wasn't making snot bubbles while she was snoring. :P

But I love her and it was really good to see her :)
Seeing and talking to her always turns my world for the better.

Hopefully next time I see her she won't be so pasty looking :P

Anyways, below is what I made for her for valentines.
Presenting - my special BBQ pork buns of love (TM)!!

She gave me some bbq pork buns to snack on

But rather than eat them, carved them out instead..

...and turned them to love buns!

I should've used tabasco sauce for colouring. The it would be the 'spicy hot BBQ Pork buns of love(TM)'!!!
