WHY DO THEY CALL IT "COMFORT EATING", WHEN IT DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE?!


i am in a shitty mood.

work is gay. employers are gayer. employers who are relatives are the gayest.

not even my bollywood music can cheer me up. i'm in such a foul mood right now and i haven't even started my tasks. i've just been through a sort of training session.

maybe it's because it's sunday and i'm working.
maybe it's because i've just eaten a giant bar of tolberone thinking it would up-lift my mood but totally hasn't.
maybe it's because i thought we were going shopping today but we're not.
maybe it's because i've eaten 5 slices of toast dripping in melted butter and peanut butter.
maybe it's because i'm just over all the heart to hearts my family tries to have with me.
maybe it's because i just hate accounts.
maybe it's because i haven't been outside today.
maybe it's because i'm still reeling about my hair.
maybe it's because i'm away from all my clothes.
maybe it's because i'm tired.
maybe it's because i ate 2 big entree's, 1 huge main, & 2 desserts when we went out for dinner lastnight.
maybe it's because my i-book is quite ancient and keeps freezing.

you know what would make me happy? a good binge drinking weekend out with all my friends. it's what kiwi's do best isn't it? yes. that would cure my grumpiness. i've been a bitch all day to everyone in the office and someone even told me not to be so snappy. i could've ripped their head off then and there. but i turned my back and quietly seethed while making my cup of tea.

maybe it's because i'm drinking yuck tea instead of earl grey.

until i cease 'comfort' eating.
until i go outside and enjoy some sunshine.
until i have a nap.
until i go shopping.
until i sign up to the gym & work off this negative mood.
until i stop being greedy and eating enough for an entire slum of 2 million people.
until i get a new computer.
until i return home & i'm re-united with all my stuff.
until i get some sort of routine going in the work place.
until i my hair grows back & i go back to black.
until i get over myself.
until i realise that this is nothing compared to whatever worse thing happens to me.

this mood is going to go on for a little while longer.

YES, SHE IS...



i have an aunty and uncle that are on their way from NZ to DC to meet president obama at some ball. there were like 140 people picked from around the world to attend the event and they were chosen to represent NZ. hilarious. he even gets a 1hr face to face chat with the president. hmmm. what would you talk about for an entire hour?!

my aunty decided it would be a good time to check out a couple of other big cities before heading home again so i think they'll go to san francisco and n.y.c as well.

rumour has it that my other aunty and uncle (that i'm currently working for) could eventually end up in oregon! there was a suggestion that we'd head over to check the place out while i was here (that i was soooooooo not down for 'coz i'm away from my wardrobe hahaha) but change of plans. (phew!!!) ...for now!

SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT (BKK)...




clean and tidy, always attended to. however, the doors don't join properly and you can kinda see the person in the loo. hand soap, the choice of either hand dryer or paper towels. the mirrors are fabulous. they've got ones above the sink, and then on the other side a big full length mirror. (i think thais are just vain hahaha)

rating: 3 & 1/2 stars

DIAMOND PLAZA TOILETS (SAIGON)...




it was clean, plenty of toilet paper, good mirrors & hand soap, but there was no hand dryer or hand towels.

rating: 2 & 1/2 stars

TAJ MAHAL PUBLIC TOILETS...




i watched as the girl mopped the floor that was soaked with a mixture of urine and water, then used the same mop for the toilet seat, and then mopped the floor again before letting me go into to the cubical.

the seat was wet, the place smelled like wee, and there was no toilet paper. thank god i carry around germ-x hand sanitizer and tissues with me!!!!!!!

however, when i finished i realized that the toilet didn't flush and i'd just stuck half a pack of tissues in the bowl (LMAO!) so i just closed the lid and made a hasty exit, to find that there were all these old indian women waiting to go. hahahaha

rating: 1/2 star (you get no luvz from me!)
