How do you know that you’re truly a child of the z generation? (or whatever letter those people are calling kids nowadays) When watching tv gives you a headache and staring at the computer screen dulls the pain.

I grew up consuming copious amounts of tv. Eating lunch? TV’s on with either the snow white, little mermaid or teenage mutant ninja turtles video playing. After lunch? Rush through homework so I can watch My little pony, transformers, mask riders (on rtm 4 no less), oshin (apparently i’m an aunty cuz only aunties watch this..), asi mat yoyo (trilingual leh) and watever channel 8 was showing at 7pm. And that was with 3 free to air channels, 2 malaysian channels and a vcr at my disposal. Now, even with 30+ channels at my disposal I can’t watch more than 2 hours of tv without feeling like my head is gg to explode. This is from a girl who can spend (and probably has spent) more than 20 hours in front of a computer terminal without so much as a twinge in that space where her brain is supposed to rest.
Help… i’m turning into a young person. A young person who is starting to feel the ache in her bones…

My days since school ended have been an absolute whirlwind of exciting events, hot parties and giggling gaggles of friends.

This is pretty much how an average day of unemployment goes:

Every morning I get up at some unholy hour in the late morning, boot up my pretty computer, do the morning pleasantries of brushing my teeth and what have you. Hang out the laundry to dry.
I log on msn and gmail, check my emails. Look for job vacancies on those job search sites. Apply for said vacancies. Surf. Fiddle with facebook. Surf. Load my daily dose of comics, techie sites, gossip sites and girly stuff sites. Surf.
Grab lunch if I remember.

Surf. Remember some tv series I have not watched in a while. Look for it on alluc.org. Fire up a couple of windows to let the videos stream. Surf while waiting. Curse and swear because its taking forever to stream. Look on yahoo auctions to see if anyone is selling divx dvds of the entire season/series for cheap.

Dad/ mom calls about dinner. Decide what I wanna eat. Remember I have chores to do. Rush to do them before parentals come home and screaming ensues. Feed the dog. Take a bath and emerge nice and sparkly in time to greet parents and wolf down dinner.

Go back in front of the com. Curse and swear somemore because what looks like it has streamed completely is FAULTY and had only streamed 10 mins before stopping. Chat with my friends about the dismal job situation. Look through resume for the millionth time. Check emails again. Surf for job vacancies again. Apply for more jobs. Arrange to stop bumming around with similarly bummy friends. Skype with besties which are IN sydney when I’m here trying to get employed. Get called out at some late hour by kooky cousin for teh si supper.

Sleep. Rinse. Repeat.
So exciting hor…

Went to HK with eww, nev, boo and mil 2 weeks ago. Will relive my trip in its technicoloured glory when I feel like it and when mr nah decides to pass us his photos!
