Handy girl is Me !

I changed my first ever light bulb today.
Not just one, but two!

*hops around in joy*

I was totally excited about the task, which left my housemate questioning my sanity. I was practically running in and out of the house to get stuff, and running across the road borrowing screwdrivers from a sweet old neighbour.

And now I know what the heck a Philips screwdriver is!
I know there are different types of them, but never knew that they have such names.

Hahaha.

Being the ever mischievous and loony me, I broke the bulb because I've never done so before, and I wanna see the anatomy of it.

A dull 'POP' and it burst.

Ahh... Satisfying experience.
I'm a happy girl.

=D

While waiting for Nayaab to be back with the new bulbs, Poh Chee and I went loopy and started taking pictures of the front lawn.

The new bulbs came and we took turn fixing them on. And because we are a loopy bunch, we started hollering "Screw you! Why won't you go in? Screw you!" when we had difficulty getting the screws into place.

Trying to screw the screws into place in no easy feat, no wonder we all went screwy!

A poet in the making am I not?
LOL.

To add on to our crazy bonanza, we had this conversation.

Poh Chee:
"We spent the whole afternoon screwing."

Naayab & I:
"What the hell?!"

*goes into laughing fit*

Me:
"Yeah. Three girls screwing. Threesome!"

Sometimes I really doubt my sanity.
I really do.

*grin*

After the intense screwing (okay, I'll stop it), we saw a thick black furry caterpillar crawling on the driveway, making its way to the front door.

In pure girly fashion, we started screaming.

As if that'll deter the caterpillar.

*roll eyes*

Speaking of creepy crawlies, guess what's inhabiting the mailbox?

SNAILS !

Or as we call them; escargot.

Those gross and nasty perpetrators are having the ball of their time munching on our mails.

Eww....

Imagine those slimes and shits on your mail!
GAG!

But looking on the bright side, they bite through the envelope so we can just take out the letter without the hassle of opening it! Organic letter opener are they not?

Muahaha!

And because it's been raining so much this winter, they are everywhere. Every morning there'll be squashed remains of them all over the pavement as people stepped onto them unknowingly in the dark.

Total grossness.

Yuck.

Well on to more pleasant stuff, just got back from a bar in Curtin University. Had a drink with Poh Chee and Hazel, and we joked and clowned around like three loonies, laughing ourselves silly and nearly in tears.

And there's free hotdogs!
Gluttony.
Yum.
