Only about three weeks (+2 days) now till I leave for Perth.

So that's 23 days to:

Learn how to cook without setting fire to the kitchen.
Not that I don't know how already. But it's probably a good idea to be able to whip up something that's actually edible. *Flashes back to the time she tried making Fettucine Carbonara and how it ended up looking, smelling, and tasting like a volleyball-sized chunk of burnt bacon, disintegrated noodles, and white gunk, mainly because it was.*
Learn how to use a fire extinguisher.
See above.
Make sense of the different settings on a washing machine.
They do have different settings, I assume?
Ditto for an iron.
But this ought to be as easy as a teenage slut. After all, I did manage to iron two shirts last month. Without incident. *Preens*
Eat.
To think I'll be forced to part with my favourite foods for a whole year. The thought is so upsetting that I cried tears of sorrow into my pan mee this afternoon.
Download enough tv shows and films to keep me occupied when the shops close at FRIGGIN' 5PM(!).
It's inhumane the way Australia limits monthly downloads. I'll need care packages sent in somehow from KL's dvd shops.
Spend as much time with Pukeyface as possible.
Being the old-ish fart that she is, I wouldn't put it past her to bite it while I'm away. I'm not sure what I'd do then. Probably get a new dachshund. But tears will be shed. For the first two minutes anyway.
Sort out what to pack.
I honestly don't know what the hell they're trying to prove by setting just a 30kg limit. Packing for a week alone takes up 27.5kg. And it wasn't like I needed jackets to go to the beach.

Maybe I should just get a live-in boyfriend to handle the first four items.

Get a live-in boyf.
I totally second that idea. That way there would be more time to EAT.

Laynie: My thoughts exactly. That, or a doormat housemate. But a boyfriend would provide more entertainment.

Cooking is easy. Cooking well is hard. And it IS possible to survive without ironing - I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to iron anything in the last 2 years. I guess that's mainly because when tight tee shirts stretch out, all wrinkles disappear. But the food, the food, the food. You never get over missing the food. Never.

Jay: I guess I'll just have to describe CNY dinners in one of my next comments in your blog then. *Wicked grin*

How about shopping? You can shop for new wrinkle free clothes (solving the ironing bit), buy some eats eg Brahims to bring with ya (can continue to eat easy to cook food, even there), raid the dvd shops (all the entertainment you can carry) & with all this newly aquired junk, it will be easy to know what to pack! And a taxidermis can help you keep pukeyface forever *Braces for slaps*

I am stunned that you don't know how to cook and iron :O Anyway, it's OZ, my dear where the guys are hot and shirtless. YOu don't have to pack that many clothes. Get a bunch of baby tees and Daisy Duke short shorts. Hmmm.. something tells me I'd have been a real skanky woman. Paul
» Paul (203.106.65.82) on 2006-01-14 07:30:45

AJ: Brahims...that still involves actual frying. I need something microwave-friendly. Know where I can find Frozen Claypot Chicken Rice or Frozen Hokkien Noodles? And I'm already raiding...my friends' hard drives. I've already got hours and hours Arrested Development, House, Little Britain, Scrubs, DH, Prison Break, and assorted anime. Now I'm just waiting for Grey's Anatomy. Whee!

Paul: Darling, I could've told you that. The skanky bit. After all, it takes so very little for your claws to come out. ;)

wow, you're visiting for a year? just pack 30kg of pure bubble gum. trust me on this. TRUST ME.

Live In B/F
Nice idea but I suggest a rigourous interview with practical tests as well - otherwise you'll get some idiot who can't cook either.

Fire Extinguishers
Make sure it's a pretty colour.

dave: I can only wish that it'll be a year of clubs and pubs. But alas, I shall be hard at work, studying till drops of blood adorn the pages of my textbooks. That's the plan anyway.

US: Are you implying that people who can't cook are idiots?! *Raises an eyebrow*
If he fails the interview tho, he can be Plank of the Day. Makes a nice incentive, no? In addition to getting me, of course.

Greavsie: So nice to see you here. Have a pretzel.
Advice from the DIY sensei himself. I shall paint the F.E. to match the walls.

hehe yup Perth ain't exactly excitement central but am sure you'll survive... So in the meantime, stuff your face with local nosh, cuddle Pukeyface until she whines to be let go, download like a demon and when you pack - don't forget the sunscreen. Have a great week ahead :D

dingos
watch out for mad dingos if they bite you, you could get rabies and go mad?
» viNNie on 2006-01-17 01:48:15

Shan: I've been stuffing my face as directed... I may have trouble fitting in my plane seat.

viNNie: Not if I bite them first.
