-LAST NIGHT, KAREN TOOK ME TO TOASTMASTERS! (sorry, shrieking><)
-dunno why will wasn't there ... if i've the time, i should drop him an e-mail ...
-topic was 'planning'; the warm-up question was "what do you plan to achieve @ toastmasters this year?" my response?" i haven't exactly planned on how many numbers of speeches i'll give, but i certainly plan to try grab four slices of pizzafor dinner tonight!" that caused several laughs. :p
-only two speeches tonight; one an ice-breaker; the other, a tenth speech!
-dinner: i scored better than four slices; i got like, five or six! yumyum~ just Hawaiian and meatlovers.
-then i got picked for table topics! i asked leonard if he wanted me to wheel out to the front; he said, "nah, you're fine. just stay there." my question was, "how would you go about building your dream home?" my answer?" i'd consult my dad! he's a certified builder, after all." afterwards, i was told that i spoke with passion, just that i had to slow down some.
-karen tootled us off to maccas to buy some dessert desert (which one's the sweet stuff?) i wanted an oreo mcflurry, originally, but karen said no icecream, coz i already had a milo for arvo tea. so i just had an apple pie - but i had to wait like, eight mins for it! karen had time to wander inside and get herself a coffee! she said to me, "they prolly had to peel each individual apple first." :P
-karen drove me home, and PIG mum kicked me to bed, after smearing vaseline all over my nose; the stupid thing had gone spastic that night. ><
-this morning: poo poo. >< i woke up with a headache, sore throat and an incredibly raspy voice. >< PIG mum fed me two panadol, three cups of water then rang vincent the physio to call me in sick. actually, he suggested she come in herself, coz she's got a bung back, so she called in aunty anne to look after me.
-so i snored all the way until midday, when aunty wendy arrived.
-she got me kitted, before taking me to the loo once before walking me out to the gobbling :p table.
-thanks to aunty wendy who brought me lunch! one big 'swelling' :P for me. think in english, they're called sticky rice dumplings? also thanks to aunty wendy who gave me one little plateful of sugar to sprinkle over my food.
-aunty wendy also took me to the loo several times, fed me one pear and gave ela a massage.
-when they left, i came online. *sigh* yes, that nasty backrest-less and armrest-less computer chair. ><
-jade from seek learning rang! i'd enquired about doing a TESOL course.
-actually, whatsa name ... oh, trace. :P trace's here now, so i'm off for a shower. will try to come back tonight with my final plodding total and events for today!
cheers,
em. ^^
