GOOGLE-AGE
there's a time in everyone's life when the inevitable occurs. i googled myself the other day. apparently, i moonlight as an information systems project manager for 'Asian Defence Technology 2006'. man, what a nerd. i thought to google myself cos my brother took it upon himself to google my alias, shygirlandrea. the whole first page of hits is dedicated to yours truly. nevermind that the whole page only consists of three hits.

onto other news. i managed to score myself the croupier position at burswood. so in march, i am going to training school, which those krazy kats at burswood have aptly named, 'THE ACADEMY'. feels alot like i'm being shipped off to boot camp. i may even shave my head. fine, you called my bluff. i think burswood management frown upon hair cuts lower than a 2...yeah, true story.

hmm. i definately have my reservations about working as a dealer. not a drug dealer, but the card kind, for anyone that's not hip with the linguidy. i hope they teach me some gooder card shuffling techniques...i'm in desperate need of a new party trick. flaring my nostrils just doesn't cut it anymore. no, my reservations stem from the fact that i don't really want people to lose their money to me. let's face it, i can be quite competitive when it comes to card games. i like to win. win..WIN! well, i think my heart beat went and upped a notch just then.

yeah. so. i went rock climbing yesterday with adam, nath and ofri. it was pretty damn good, besides the fact that when i first started i was so hysterical i nearly cried. yes, my eyes were tearing up and my voice went shrill as i asked to be let down. i'm not ashamed. i'm scared of heights. i'm not invincible, despite my buff guns and toned abs...haha. what a laugh. ME? with GUNS? more like two breadsticks i call arms poking out of my t-shirt...but nevermind. adam made me conquer my fear, and with deft movements i scaled the easiest level of wall they had to offer. *smiles smugly*

adam let me borrow his iPod nano. man, what a chump. if he thinks he's gonna get it back anytime soon, he's mistaken. unless, adam just so happens to make a cameo on livejournal and read this...in which case, it will be returned safe and in its original condition within the next week. but i love the nano. i'm a walking DJ. i'm spinning my own tunes. dancing to my own beat. basically, the songs just play randomly, and i listen to them. man, i want one.
