howdy readers!
how's life whereever you are? good? hopefully it's good (: hopefully it's so good it's making you smile (:
i've just finished installing RORB (rainfall-runoff model) for a catchment modelling assignment. before i start working on the not so wonderful, sort of awesome assignment i thought i'd give you guys a brief (ha, let's see how brief it is =p) update of what's been happening in my life. care to be bored? well, then read on..
monday, monday, monday. i hung out with yasa, garth, g and max most of the day (late to late afternoon -daytime). it was fun. weird questions were asked. weird fantasies were shared. i laughed.. a lot.
anyhow, getting a bit off topic here.. soo monday nights are pretty lame for me. last monday was great because miguel gave me a lift home after class (: this monday however, not so great. i was on my way home, minding my own business when *bang* we arrived at a dodgy train station (shall not be mentioned here -just know that it was approximately 40minutes into my trip -on a slow, slow train). now, this dodgy train station is known as being pretty darn dodgy. yes, dodgy. suss. weird. filled with psychos and losers and downright bums. get the picture? well, it's definately not a station i'd like to be alone at (moreso at night than in the day). alright? good.
i was alone. on the train with some other people -but noone i knew (therefore alone). we arrived at the station and when the doors opened, we could hear raised voices. before i knew what was going on, a group of (scary) people jumped on the train and they were fighting -not just verbally but physically fighting! gosh i got so freaked out i actually got out of my (relatively) warm, (somewhat) comfortable seat and retreated to the back of the carriage. there was blood. yucky, yucky blood. there were also transit officers and cops who broke up the fight and told us that we would have to wait for the next train -the intercity train. it was cold, i was lonely, grumpy and scared. i also got home late. super late. it really wasn't fair. but yes, i witnessed a fight with blood. blood, blood, blood. freaky stuff!
oh, to get rid of blood, APPARENTLY it's sufficient if you pour a little bit of that dettol hand sanitiser over it... apparently -according to the cop/transit officer.
ick.
today was long. super, super long. i was at work all day -by all day, i mean longer than i'm ever at uni anymore! i was at work at 8:30 in the morning and by 8:40 i was getting prepared to attend meetings and training sessions. ahh i feel like i'm totally part of the organisation now =p, too bad i'm not getting paid ):! haha. anyhow, i had a short lunch break in which i travelled over to the plaza for a whole half hour (of the 45minutes that were designated) and bought a pair of work pants (FINALLY.. pants that actually fit!). it made me smile (: ^^ they're grey, grey, grey and i would take a photo but they're in my living room and i'm inside my room and it's finally starting to feel warm(ish) -so i shall not! wheee. after our wonderful meetings and training sessions finished, i spent half an hour with the other youngin (he's about 4-6 years older than me) "networking". it was good to talk to him and i found out that he's pretty close mates with one of my friend's cousins (who i happen to know =D). it was awesome and he invited me out with them next weekend! i probably won't go though, no thanks to thesis. urgh -thesis.
after my little "networking" session, my industry supervisor decided that she wanted to talk to me about my catchment model and part of my thesis write up. we talked for almost three hours -and i found out so much about her life.. nothing that i will share here because it's her life and not mine =p anyway, she's pretty cool and the thesis is finally getting somewhere (ah, it's about time).
okay.
lots of rambling.
super, super sorry guys.
stay safe and amazing!
Xx.
ps. hi jase! start blogging again =p
pps. marcus, that wasn't me on the motorscooter -i just took the photo =p (fluke shot)!

that was a long long long,] post! It wasn't boring boring boring however. I'm glad you're ok after that little skirmish on the train, that sounded a bit dangerous. ALSO, congrats on being part of the team at your fancy engineering...job...thing that you do..lol I would just finally like to add that I do, in fact, believe that that isn't you on the scooter...I was just joshing you Ms. Hugs! =P
Your train story reminds me of a story of my own. Back in high school, I took the New York subway trains to school each day. One day, a clearly deranged fellow entered the train about 10 feet from where I was sitting. He was talking to himself and he started to brandish a large knife at random people. Everyone sat there kinda stunned, and we all did our best not to make eye contact with the guy.
We all got a lucky break when a transit cop just happened to get on the train at the next stop. The cop just happened to have a police dog with him ( very LARGE German Shepard ). All I'll say about what happened next is that a guy with a knife is no match for a well-trained police dog. I think the deranged guy was flat on his back ( with the dog's teeth only an inch from his neck ) less than two seconds after the cop commanded the dog to strike.
