I AM SO BORED.
Bored out of my skull. that's how i'm feeling today. stayed at home and slacked on the bed for so many many nua hours just because i have finished reading all my library books and have nothing better to do. I can't go swimming because of lousy monthlies and i didn't want to go running cause i don't want to feel all sweaty and yucky. So i stoned and listen to the radio. the songs nowadays grate on my nerves... not all just some. I figured that some english artists must idolise jay chou... i can hardly figure out the words mumbled!!
Anyways.. i just realise that i'm probably only left with this week to slack and be happy-go-lucky. Next week after matriculation, i'll be attending talks and then o-week. busy busy. I wonder how i will hold up. I miss the studying but feel really lazy about making new friends... tell me what's wrong with me. Or is anyone feeling the same as me? I know for a fact that many of my friends, including myself, just ain't looking forward to uni. Must be that we have gotten too comfortable with this slacking lifestyle with a timetable that is so flexible. Agree??
OH! I've learnt a new skill!!!! The art of frothing milk.
That's a picture to give you some idea about what i'm referring to.
...So how did i get to learn this skill? HAHA! I learnt it from a master okie! Someone who has been doing this almost daily for 6 years now! He's none other than the "milkman" (barista) in cathay starbucks!
I met becky on sunday. she was studying there and i went to pei her. So there i was sitting. being bored i glanced periodically at the starbucks people working at the counter just beside me. I was marvalling at the anount of life, jest and enthusiasm in serving- their job seems to be alot more fun, interesting and happy. I guess i was purely fascinated. We were there for a long time, me teaching her hypo-testing (it took me super long to grasp the basics again!! but in the end, memory prevailed. yay!)... the guys realised the amount of time i spent looking at them work, 2 of the guys called out to me "wanna come down here and try your hand at the machine/play?". Shocked. But i went down gamely all the same cause... i was feeling adventurous! =)
It was kinda fun. Holding the metal mug filled with milk, turning on the frothing tap, hearing the hissing sound, moving the mug down slowly as it fills up, watching the temperature climbing till it reaches the red zone. Whooo! We tried it twice. Once per person. and the barista was nice!! He gave us the top part of the frothing milk which is the BEST part! Gave it to us in a cup, filled it with chocolate and gave us spoons. =) Gosh! Great!! All FOC. the "lesson", demo and free milk! =) So fun so fun. Lalalala! See they love me. crazy.
alrights tv time. =)
