10th day in Holland

Weight: 51.5kg (it's actually short 1kg so I'm really 52.5kg!)

Well, I've extended my stay in Holland! I was meant to leave here last Sunday 7th but my relos made me realise that I might aswell stay here for an extra week or so (in comfort and free from expenses) and apply for jobs in London online through their PC rather than having to go to the Internet Cafe everyday in London and pay for it and pay for food etc for the week- yeah yeah! =P So i had to let go of my return ticket and will have to buy a one way ticket back to London... when I'm ready =)

I just updated my resumes for different job categories which hopefully I'll look into tomorrow. Remember that live-in carer job? Well, I tried to fill in an online application form for a company/agency associated to the field the other day and I typed in all the information they wanted including my height, weight etc and guess what? I was rejected even before I finished completing the form! I clicked on "under 55kg" as my weight and was then rejected!!! They say I'm underweight! Ahhhh! I guess they do have a point though.. how am I meant to carry an old lady from her bed to a wheelchair if I'm stick thin ay?! I might injure her and myself at the same time! hehehe Anyways, I'm not too worried... lots of other jobs are out there for me (i think!). THOUGH my relos are happy to take on the job of fattening me up over here before sending me back to London to work. I have been eating a lot (and yes, that spaghetti shown on the dining table was cooked by me, yes me!!!!) but it all seems to go to my stomach... which looks disgusting since the rest of me is stick thin! =O I'm expected to drink milk nightly and this special milk daily by my aunty... ugh how I hate milk! BUT I'm up for it all- just give me an extra 4kg in the next week (or so) and I'll be over the moon! Oanh, maybe I will get to be the same weight as you soon!!!!!!!

Yes, my aunty makes some killer salads. She loves salads and I love it too- yay!!! They know that I love cheese and have been bringing home all sorts of cheese for me to taste. Fortunately the suburb that they live in (Alkmaar) is famous for their cheese!! I'm gonna check out the cheese factory this Friday... woo hoo!

Another blooper: whilst riding my aunty's bike the other day with my cousins down to the fields to watch one of them play a soccer match, I managed to ride INTO the entrance gate instead of through it! And it's embarrassing because you can see all these little kids around you who can ride with only one hand and gliding through the gate with ease whereas I can barely ride with both my hands!!! Man, I can be such a clutz! I'm so not good on a bike.. I constantly shake and can't even ride in a straight line without shrieking every minute without thinking I'll fall (especially onto a curb like you Oanh!! hehe) Eek! BUT I'll try to get into it here and practice before coming home and ride a bike around town with you girls!!! ;)

It's so great to be able to access Hotmail again and to join in all the girly convos!!! Though yes I know... I need to have my say in the emails too ;) ..soon! I've just been overwhelmed and have taken my time to read all the emails that I missed out on!!!

Oanhsta, Kaz & Trinh- you know how much I don't understand drum'n'bass but for you girls, I will give it one more go and this time in its hometown, London!! Maybe the scene here is heaps better? I'll try to find people who are interested in these gigs and tag along with them in the hope that their love for d'n'b will rub off on me! *fingers crossed*

Stella & Kaz- I can't believe I will one day see you on this side of the world- ahhh!!

Okiez, so wish me luck with my job hunting.. *fingers crossed*

***My darling sister Phuong- I hope you are doing your best to study at home. Please don't go out too much, help more around the house and be good to mum and Nina, ok?!!!!! Now that I'm gone you've got the room to yourself but don't abuse it... study darling, it's only 2 years and you're free!! You can do it! =)
