gardener for the day.

for not much reason, i woke at 10. after finishing the last of the sara lee, i worked on an assignment from a subject. come 1pm, i was supposedly going to campus to meet up with jason and group members. but apparently i got all dressed up and going to be late, i was 5mins to reaching campus... called up jason. "but i thought i told you to stay at home?!" uh... ok my mistake. being preoccupied and preprogrammed to go attend the meeting i didn't need to.

so i trodded home and started cooking rice. today's lunch menu:

• Cooked white rice served with,
• omelette fried with onions,
• stir fried beef with sausages & onions,
• and luncheon meat(for me only cos jason dun like)

mmm it was nice. it was a rather chinese-y meal. heh homecooked style yay! altho he added too much onions, in my opinion.

so i washed up the dishes and headed for school. yes, i have lesson at 3.30. first tutorial of the whole time i'm here! class headcount: 14, including me. tutor made us pair up and assigned us random seminar topics. uh... presentation lah. the supposedly 1hr worth of tutorial thus ended. at 4pm. back to home i went... and we arrive at the main activity and thus topic of today's post...

we cut grass! yes! the backyard was growing into a jungle. so i told jason i wanted to do it yesterday but it was cold. so today do lor. i'll summarise the steps. HAHAHAHA

round 1-

• weapon of choice: lawnmower without collection pouch
• contestant: ken
• location: grassy plains of backyard
• result: grass shortened by a lot!
• backlash: legs, feet and sandals buried in grass mulch

round 2-

• weapon of choice: grass trimmer O' Titans
• contestant: jason
• location: edges, sideyard
• result: giant spider web destroyed! XD
• backlash: itchy legs and green stains on slippers

round 3-

• weapon of choice: the rake of retribution
• contestant: ken
• location: backyard in general
• result: knee high pile of grass mulch
• backlash: more grass on my sandals

round 4-

• weapon of choice: broom of banishing
• contestants: jason & ken
• location: garage front
• result: grass mulch transferred into trashbin
• backlash: mosquito bites!

ok lah too much you read also sian. that was basically it. i wish there were photos but sadly we were too occupied with doing the deed to take any pictures. the trashbin is the same size as the green ones you see around singapore. we filled it up about 80%. imagine the amount of grass we had cut!

so now our backyard is once again reclaimed. and we have preserved the santicity of the little green patch behind our house. there's still a small patch of "forested" area at the back but we'll get to it another day... it's really tall grass. oh and we trimmed the plants too. they were getting out of hand and in the way.

alright so we settled everything and had our dinner. what's on for the menu tonight? lamb chop! served with potato slices. and then it's back to the drawing board. finally Oracle DB 10g has completed downloading. i d/l it last night but the damn zip file had errors.

okie tomorrow's lecture's at 830am. i think i've blah enough for today!

*hop hop hop... hop away...*
