HELLO WOOPSANDGOODBYES

HI GUISE- quick midnight post (just like the old times).  I haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to (alot of you have pointed this out to me) because my computer keeps stuffing up, AND I don't want to blog while I'm connected to the network at work. 8)  I mean. If I ever say something horrible about my bosses (which I SHOULDNT cos they're pretty good to me) it would be much better if they didnt know :)

ANYPOOS. Quick update.

Saturday- WENT TO THE GYM.

OHMYGOSH.

WENT TO THE GYM. I finally did it.  And I'm glad I did, because I decided that I hate it- and I won't ever think of going to the gym again.   I don't really hateHATE it- it's just the people there are generally quite... ugh. For example. I was using the pool (my favourite part) and this asian lady tells me off because I have a little bit of hair sticking out from under my swimming cap (God Forbid! A swimming cap- I got told off for swimming without one too). And then later on in the changerooms, I witnessed a ghastly scene which I won't elaborate here (hint- saggy). COVER IT UP! COVER IT UP!

Then afterwards, I munched my way back to satisfaction with the maccas $5 feed. :D

Sunday- drove drove and drove to places I've been to for work (ie Bankstown/Auburn/Homebush).

Monday- sat down and did 3 self reviews for many hours before meeting up with the cadets in the office.  Funny thing was, when we sat down in Kasumi Izakaya, looking at Johnny's eating face made me recognise him as the guy with long hair who told a bunch of (a year before) to not work at our current firm- and that cadetships are crap, etc etc. HILARIOUS! I DIDN'T REALISE IT WAS HIM ! HAHA! Yeah. Ok, I'm over it.

My punctuality at work has been impecable- until today. I walked in late to a training session for inventory :(  I was just walking around hopelessly lost on level 32 (honestly, I don't know who the heck designed our building- but level 32 is hell for me every time!) for ages before I saw some guy pointing to a room in the far corner. fml.  Last to stroll in- and the first to walk out. Yep. Uni today meant I had to leave the training session early to attend my lecture. I had a micro sleep and dreamed I dribbled all over my face and purple shirt. D: Contract = legally binding agreement, blah blah blah. Ran to townhall to meet Rohan before boarding the nice empty train home.

Dinner was waiting. Love it!  I know what it feels like to be a man.  Feels damn good.

HAHA

yeah. okay. I think im a bit high on cough syrup. :( it's nearing my annual sickness period. I feel my tonsils swelling up. NOOO


Time for bed.

Stay cool kiddos.

omfg help ;D

Hey guise,

I've been trying to set up my ipod. Except it's harder than I expected.

At times like these I wish I had a really tech savvy brother, or an I.T. Genius bf or something. ;D

Jailbreaking ipod... I didn't even know what that mean before my sister explained approx 5 minutes ago. HELP! WHO HAS ONE?! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE MINE. (lol! I'm too young for this! I'm only 18 and I feel so out of touch)

Damnit.

Anypoos. Short blog today. Shout out to: Winnie, Deva, Bryan and Meelo who met up with intoxicated beings, Rohan and I. Can't wait until my headache goes away. lol.  Details will (maybe I'm a lazy blogger now) come later.

OHMYGOSH I MISS SCHOOL SO MUCH- But I'm really enjoying work :D

plans for the long weekend?

I've been wanting to go to Melbourne for quite a while.

Why?

• I haven't been on a roadtrip with the family in ages
• Driving hours (woohoo- HELLO P PLATES)
• Food
• Food
• THIS makes my mind boggle
• And I'm a little sick of Sydney

I have uni on Thursday. Going to the Easter Show with buddies on Friday, while on Sat, Sun and Monday I'm free as a bird!  Afaik, so are my parents!

Currently got a couple of things to look forward to.

• Hair Expo Finals (yes. I'm auditing there ... again)
• Alice in Wonderland 3D with M + K at Imax :D
• Driving this weekend- and looking for a good driving instructor (any recommendations?)
• Ebay. Woohoo. I got my packages yesterday- I love opening parcels. WHEE\
• BUYING MY IPOD TOUCH- I will hopefully get it today. In my ginormous 4 hour gap.

yes. I get terribly bored on trains nowadays.  My crossword and sudoku books are not enough for me.

Hope you all have a lovely Friday + weekend.  ANY FUN PLANS?

Pissed

Currently on the train. Just got off work. Today was slightly interesting. I had an early mornin working for a client from the main office, and then a long arvo and night at the convention centre auditing the vote counting process for the hair expo. Wow. Long day. I'm not happy that I had to miss some favourite ty shows, and that by the time I get home I only get time for a shower before I sleep. But it was extremely interesting and glam. For the first time, I felt really full in my suit. Everyone else was in heavy makeup and super trendy dresses and flamboyant clothes. But at least I knew who the winners are- best hairdresser, best salon, etc for the semi final. Next time I will wear nicer clothes. Dumdidum. Shall blog more about this later. I have a crossword to finish!

3.15am

Still wide awake.

I'm feeling extremely amused by some photos a friend sent me after dinner with her boyfriend.  He is really bad at making fondue, apparently.  After the fruit got dipped in the chocolate, everything went weird and lumpy and all the chocolat-ised fruit ended up looking like pieces of poo!

Ahahahaaaa

Something similar happened to me when I first tried making chocolate covered banana chunks. Everything looked like faeces and I cooked the chocolate for so long, everything just solidified.

Anyway. This past week has been an interesting one.  I was located in Bankstown Aerodrome and virtually lost contact with just about everyone for a couple of days. Thursday = uni. Which wasn't much fun. UNTIL LUNCH- where I headed off to the library to finish my tute hw and then to Kasumi for some $5.50 lunch!  One day I will blog properly about food. Atm, I just ceebz.

After lunch, I proceeded to walk along Kent St towards Wynyard and who was I to stumble upon, but Rohan! Actually 5 minutes prior to us meeting, phone calls and arrangements were made so that we could get some face time to catch up.

Afterwards,  it was back to uni for a law tute. AND THEN I get a text from Bosco asking for my tute room. 4.30 arrives- I walk out and :O BOSCO!  We sit and have a good bitch chat about uni and 30 minutes passes by TOO quickly! and I'm in a mad rush to get to my next tute. Accounting. I can safely say that this is a subject I will DEFINITELY pass. I enjoy doing my accounting homework SO much it is a bit frightening. I made my way through Chinatown towards EY when the tute finished to take the travel with who else but Rohan - and of course his favourite wingman.  Many attempts were made to lose the wingman in the crowd but that was super unsuccessful.  Bumped into a tipsy Richard Song who was sitting in Star Bar. Nothing much happened except drunk remarks on his half and a few polite nods on mine.

Thursday was a great day for me- but it did not beat Saturday. DUNDUNDUNDDUUUUN.

Morning- woke before 8. Ate heaps. Went driving to look for a good place to eat. Ate. Came home and watched some tvb. Went out to CC to get some Pho (crap as .. they suck) while K got xrays for braces.  I walked into woolies and bought some rations for the week. Lined up in the self service queue like I do every week and share an imaginary conversation with the woolies boy. Holy crap I think I see this guy more than I see my sister. HAHA.  She's always in  her room!  But yeah. I should start going to Coles now. I have a feeling everyone in Woolworths recognises me as the girl who is always there.  When I meet my family, our usual rendezvouz point is inside Woolies. Teehee.

ANYWAY- getting back on track, I got a chance to meet up with some of my favourite people in the world for dinner. Highlight of my week.  I miss seeing them everyday.  But we were thinking of having something permanent-

HAHAHAAA YAYAYAYAY MY COUSIN'S BOYFRIEND PROPOSEEEED. SHE'S GETTING MARRRRRIED YAYAYAYAYA. I GET TO GO TO HK THIS YEAR. YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAY. Found out via facebook.

Greatest week, ever.

I hope I remember to tell my parents this in the morning after I wake up.

The "Exempt All" Pass

Since work started, I can honestly say I haven't done a single piece of decent housework or cooking. That means no:

• mopping
• steaming
• ironing (omg lol so many shirts to iron now)
• laundry
• dusting
• mr sheen-ing
• gardening (not that I ever did that to begin with)

I don't even set the table anymore because everyone's had dinner before me. :(  My afterwork routine is almost the same everyday.

1. Eat
2. Shower
3. Eat some more (usually dessert!) while my parents sit with me and chat about what happened at work
4. Watch 30 mins of tv
5. Read at least 30 minutes of law (so wordy. I swear, in some chapters, they're just repeating the same point using different words. I feel like it leads me to NO WHERE)
6. Go to bed

I rarely hop on the comp during the week. There is simply NO TIME.  Finding time to eat is also quite a hassle if I work a little late. There's a sushi/jap restaurant in World Square and I happen to pass it everyday when I'm at the ey office.  Once I decided to pick up $21 worth of Japanese takeaway for the fam + me but when I got on the train to call them- they told me they were FULL and didn't want it.

TT__TT; Luckily for me I was hungry enough to gobble up the contents of three boxes.  What I didn't realise, was the fact there was a guy sitting behind me watching me eat the entire time.  Maybe I was distracting him with some foodlove noises "mm  mmm  mmmmmmmm", but I doubt that. The takeaway wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it could have been.  I mean seriously, I was eating on a train. T_T;

Anyway. When the train gets to Meadowbank, the guy behind me gets up and says to me

"Holy shxt you eat alot"

I say "Er thanks?" and he gets off the train shaking his head.

Rohan loves this story. He told at least two people. One was Kris (who had a "whatever- I'm sure it's nothing) reaction).

***

I'm a bit bummed by the fact I don't get to see many people I know during the week.  However, I can safely say I meet someone new everyday.  Currently looking forward to my coffeedate with Lancypants on Thursday.  Gotta make sure all my readings/tute answers are done before then :P  Another thing I'm looking forward to is our annual excursion to the Easter Show. :D A group of us go every year and well basically we spend the majority of the time touring around the Woolworths dome searching high and low for freebies and watching the Psycho Sideshow at the ampitheatre. I think we see that sword swallowing guy every year.  It doesn't ever get boring though- he's a good entertainer.

WHT
Today we drove around Bankstown and visited the aerodrome for a little bit so I can get to know the area a bit.  It's secluded.  (I've always thought the word "secluded" sounded abit.. weird- and I suddenly realised why.  It looks like a combination of sex, club and nude. HAHAHA)

The streets nearby are quite wow. There was this HUGE house with nice plants and two white statues in the front yard- and the house next to it was a small fibre hut with tarp pulled over the carport to prevent leakages. Juxtaposing much?

Law lecture afterwards beginning at 5.  This class is dominated by cadets. Unfortunately for me, I don't know anyone, and they're all in their gigantic PwC and KPMG clumps. There is a girl who always sits in the same row as me- I think I should initiate conversation so I will not have a lonely semester in law.

Dootdidoot.  On Thursdays I have class with Jelly and Sam from primary school.  It's kinda weird talking to people from primary school now.  You sort of don't have anything in common and it's just HARD TO COMMUNICATE.  My accounting tute is full of international students from south america and bogan guys with billabong bags who flirt with 2 bogan girls in the back corner.  Does anyone else find Accounting a bit repetitive and slow?  Law on the other hand is hard to digest sometimes but it gives me more satisfaction somehow.

It is day 5 of my Nexus 6 medication.  I swallow 8 pills a day for 7 days to kill some bacteria in my stomach. D:  I always thought Nexus only made medication for peptic ulcers (don't even know what they are).  I experienced horrible side effects (the doc told me there were none :( )on day three, so I took sick leave.  When I called my supervisor- she was already at work. It was 7.30am.

The future looks bleak.

Haha.

DUe to my lack of photo posts- here are some taken when we were in Wuxi or Hengdian.

Hope you all have a nice week!

Making Impulsive Purchases

HI

I THINK IM OFFICIALLY INTO EBAY.

My paypal/ebay has been working for about 2 hours and already I've submitted 3 bids for items.

HOLY CRAP.

Ebay is nothing but doomdoomdoom.

Help. Help. Help. Help. Help. Help.

Onto other depressing things- Starting Monday I'll be at a new client's place.... Bankstown Aerodrome! Which means I have to change trains and get a taxi. I hate taxis.  So yeah, don't feel obliged to invite me to any social gatherings this week. I'm too far away. Oh- except Thursday :D OH BELOVED 4 HOUR BREAK.

Last Thursday, I walked around the CBD in my break after meeting Rohan for lunch.  These little journeys of mine result in huge cash outflows from my bank account. STOP SPENDING BELLE. STOP SPENDING. However, it's fair to say each purchase I have made will benefit me on numerous occassions in the future. I'm sure of it.  I don't buy anything I think I'll regret buying 8)

But yeah. I've been working flatout this past week- trying to get everything done on time.  Left uni work until late- but finished readings, questions and all in less than 2 hours in the library on Thursday.  Worked with three clients in one day at one stage- heeeeec-tic.

Fingers crossed I'll have another educational week at work.

I know I keep complaining about my hours and how tired I am- but I really love this job :D

Grilled mackeral set lunch at Kasumi

Set meal for Five dollars and fifty Cents only. Geez what a great deal. I ditched my lunch for this with the super great michelle. Time to get back to work :(

Wizzing by...

Here I am secretly tapping away on zee comp so I don't wake D up. It is 1 am but I feel far from sleepy as I am in one of those strange mental states right now. 

I am overly happy despite having to wake up early for work tomorrow knowing that I won't be having japanese for lunch. Why?  This. It's really cute XD

My favourite part of a wedding would have to be the photoslide. :) I can't wait for the next few years, when wedding invites will be popping up regularly. :D

*** Digressing, guess who was in a not so great mood on Friday ;D  but I can explain- sucked heaps.

• 5 min walk from work to station resulted in ultimate soakage through suit
• the arcade i normally walk through was locked and closed because it was after hours
• which means i was working until late on friday
• oh plus my heel got stuck in one of the drains in the middle of the road

:( but the weekend was good.


too bad it's time to go back to work/uni ==;

Mean moments

To dear the disgusting fob girl on my train, you are a disgrace to asians and a Freaking nuisance on public transport. If you are going to be texting the ENTIRE trip, please be considerate to other commuters and turn the darn keypad sounds off. I don't give a crap about your japanese phone- if you can't turn the high pitched beep off, quite frankly. I don't think you should be allowed in asmall confined space with other people. Especially because you kicked your shoes off and started stretching your toes. That was just not okay. I wanted to join you at some point. I would have also kicked my shoes off only to stab you in the eye with the heel, and to use my bare foot to mash up your fobtastic beeping phone. Next time I see you, be warned, I will not hold back.

Miraku

If you're ever in wynyard, duck into the little arcade on pitt, at have lunch at miraku. Cheap and quality bento boxes :)

Have you ever, ever felt like this?

I ran down rawson, the arcade and I flight of stairs at amazing speed in heels, like a crazy woman. I almost got onto that train. Almost, but the doors closed in my face. Damnit to hell. I went to bed before half past ten and I managed to sleep in half an hour. Where is the logic in that? Hope i'm not late. :(

hello weekend in ten hours :) or even nine!

Lunch

So I dropped business finance... To cure my depression over that, I decided to go to Kasumi for lunch. At first I wanted to go to kura, but when I was standing outside, I noticed all the chinese people went inside, and the japanese people walked into Kasumi :) compared menus and found a difference in the cost of lunch deals. Feeling rich? Kasumi's your answer.

Nuisance- teen boys on trains

Omfg, there are two school kids on the train I really want to slap. Honestly. For a solid 15 minutes or so they wouldn't shut up and stop boasting about their academic levels. Quite frankly, the only things there boys haven't seemed to learn basic manners and how to be humble. But no, in ahead and let the whole carriage know how many a's and b's you got in your report. Damnit, there's this fat asian lady next to me rubbing the hairy leg of the man sitting opposite her. I want to puke. Surely rubbing someone else's leg hairs is an offence?

Can someone tell me why...

Why the building at 1 castlereagh st is right next to the building which is at 9 castlereagh st? Bumped into Bryan at central today- i'm glad I still see people from school. Yesternight I met up with sharon, john and Milo, and spent the night watching sharon being harassed by the boys.

why am I always the earliest at work? :( it's really gay. Today's my first day on the job working with The Hunger Project, which is a charity that feeds people in the third world. I can't say I felt inclined to donate to them after reading their financial statement, but it's better than most...

have a nice week everyone! Hopefully I can get home early enough for a proper blog post
