It's a bad idea to have a party on Tuesday night

I was gonna leave at 10.30, but there was still noone on the dance floor. So I hung around for 5 minutes, but then 5 minutes flew by and the next thing I knew- it was past 12 and all my trains were gone.

Cabbed home with a few others. Late start to work tomorrow. Thank god.

Worst Tuesday ever. I have a headache already.

Another Christmas party next Friday. Learned my lesson.

Got interrupted. Mgr called to ask me where I was and if I wanted to share a taxi just then. Ahaha! They're at star city and still going.

Audit is the best during Christmas. More play less work.

Reflection

No I'm not going to school. I'm going to work!

Xmas party tomorrow. Zzz so much crap to pack!

Chillbangin' Thursday

Nearly the weekend guys!

Today was awesome. This week's been pretty awesome. I've been deprived again of my precious sleep ins, but still doesn't stop me from staying up late watching movies. I've been watching a movie every night from 12 just because the Internet is heaps faster.

This also doesn't affect my productiveness at work because I did a 5 day job in 3, and my reward was leaving early today! I headed to chatswood afterwork and explored for a bit before meeting up with A.

I had an extra hour to myself before meeting A so I though I'd give dress shopping a go. Skipped all the higher end stores because I was dressed pretty daggily today. Lol. Like a very un-ninja-ish turtle with my incredibly bloated backpack and chucks. Lol. In my work clothes =_=.

I changed shoes eventually because I knew I was being judged by these kids in uniforms D: walked into Glassons and BOOM!
Found a pleated dress. Tick.
It is black and was sitting in the "sale 50% off" section. Tick.
It was in size 8- fitted well. Tick.
Took it to the counter, the SA charged me $12.50 for it. BOOMTICK!

(tick reference to do with infamous email being circulated in cyberspace. <3 nick cannon. Alpha male. Loool.)

Met up with A and explored DAISO! I've been pretty curious of this place since one of my colleagues started using a Daiso iPhone charger. For those who don't know what Daiso is, it's pretty much a chain discount store in Japan. Cheap goods. It sells absolutely everything. Everything is listed as $2.80 - even pots, pans and headphones (headphones are pretty good and comparable to the TDK ones rrp $19.95).

I bought a few things today, but my favourite by far is my new Christmas tree. IT'S A COLLAPSABLE SPRING! What a genius idea.

Had dinner at East West, pretty good but um too heavy with the garlic. I feel... Garlicky again. Ewie.

Anyway, office tomorrow! Hurrah! Catching up with a few uni folk afterwork so I guess it will be a nice start to the weekend. I've set 3 alarms to make sure I don't get to work late tomorrow. I want to get the best seat and a boost before I start work :)

Longass phone post, but I hope you guys enjoyed this read :) Happy weekend everyone!

Hypocrisy :(

I always bitch about people who wear joggers to work because it looks awful. I always sport a pair of flats for the commute and change into heels or something at work, but yesterday the soles of my flats came loose from being absolutely soaked in the rain :(

These old fake chucks could use a wash. And they're so comfy :)

It's so cold again !

mushymushymind

ngurrhurrhurr

I love we found love. I know it's about drugs and stuff, but it turns my mind to mush.

I think I'm just high on this new found freedom.

FREE FROM GUILT.

Woohoo. So many places to visit in the next few weeks:

1. Ikea Tempe - I've been told this looks exactly the same as the one at Rhodes, but that's not going to stop me from going.
2. Daiso Japan - at the Mandarin Centre in Chats.
3. Opera Point Marquee - Work xmas party black tie urgghhghg. I have 3 LBD's at home, and I've worn all three to work functions. Geez man. This means I need to go out and find something. Dress shopping is annoying. You basically walk through racks and racks of fabric, overhearing school girls yapping "omggg it looks so good on you" when it clearly doesn't *cue inner bitch*, then the most annoying part starts.  The following will happen if you are as unlucky as me in shopping.
1. strip down to your underwear under the incredibly bright light bulb and mirrors strategically placed mirrors, which reflect.. you, from 3 different angles. You can look at ONE mirror, and see yourself front on, side on, and your behind. So not flattering.
2. Grab the dress you selected earlier, figure out how to get it off the hangar, fiddle with the zip, struggle to get in the dress. Think "damn. I thought I was an 8. DAMNIT". Look through the other dresses you brought in. "DAMNIT WHY DID I ONLY GRAB 8'S?!".
3. Proceed to attempt mission impossible and try to zip self up. Mission failed. Break zip.
4. Panic!
5. Put dresses back up on hangers, and conceal broken zip.
6. Put clothes back on, re-adjust ponytail, and drop off the bundle of dresses + broken zip on the changeroom counter.
7. Bolt.
8. Feel relief when no one is yelling "HEY, YOU ZIP BREAKER - COME BACK HERE".
9. Drive to a different shopping centre to a) avoid the shop assistant who probably discovered the broken zip, and to b) continue the long search for a work-party-appropriate dress.
10. Walk into shop, careful not to get bag caught on any chiffon dresses hanging on the racks. Pick up a few potentials in size 10. 
11. In the changeroom, start the tedious process, again stripping down under those glaring lights.
12. Untangle the dress from the hanger. Slip it on. Zip it up. It zips fine! But it's too big! WHAT THE FARQ! Inconsistencies in SIZING?!
13. Take advantage of the shop assistants and ask them to bring you a size 8.
14. Thank them, and try on the 8.  Zip it up. It zips fine!  BUT IT'S TOO BIG AS WELL.
15. Call the SA back and ask for a smaller size. She raises an eyebrow and smirks for a split second. Another dress is fetched.
16. Get the dress off the hanger. Pray. Unzip the dress. Step into it. Pull it up.
17. WTF CAN'T PULL IT UP, IT'S STUCK AT THE HIPS. Then give up.
4. Doltone House. Again. Ahh. I love it. It's always decorated so beautifully :D
5. Maybe another trip interstate?

Ugh. Long post about nothing at all.

WHT
First day back at work was awesome. I was greeted with a bajillion emails, a trazillion meeting invitations (meant for the other Belinda at work), and the coolest folk at work. Walked into their kitchen and found cereal dispensers with crunchy nut, sultana bran, weetbix, cheerios and nutrigrain. Their employees are so spoilt!! Jelly.  (I found that in the fridge too!)

In North Ryde this week. Walking by that hugeass cemetery everyday. gives me the heebyjeebies.

Blogging about absolutely random crap today.

:'( so bored right now.

WOOPEE and frozen yoghurt crazeeeee

So I'm done. WOOHOO.

It means tomorrow, I have to get up at 6.45 battle my way through traffic to sit in a shut up hole all day to stare at my computer screen.

But that will be ok.

Because it will be airconditioned, and I will be in awesome company. AND when I come home from work, I will be free to do whatever I like.

Operator stating all the rules through a microphone to an audience of 3

Visited galaxy world and Moochi in stra for some relaxing downtime before TV time at home.

Moochi from this arvo

Noggi from last week

Quick comparison:  I got exactly the same thing, same size, same toppings, $0.10 difference. The soft serve yoghurt was more solid and less melted at Noggi, and the fruit was chopped up into bigger pieces (less mushy).  However, B got the pomegranate yoghurt from Moochi and it tasted so much better than the pom yoghurt at Noggi.

pom yoghurt + blueberries + strawberry + bad pose

I feel like I haven't said this in a while - hope you guys have a lovely week ahead! We're one day closer to Friday! woohoo!

Hello all.

Another psychotic post on the morning of my last exam.

I am thrilled.

For after 4pm this afternoon I will be able to search for cheap plane tickets without feeling guilty for not studying.

I will no longer need to hide my headphones everytime someone is walking down the hallway. I'm scared K will dob me in for using up download (you tubing all day) instead of studying.

I'll sleep easier.

I can go to the beach.

I can go out on Friday nights (YESSS)

Digressing, I'm extremely looking forward to M's return on boxing day. I will be going behind D's back to get my P's. M's great master plan. D's flying off early jan, so if I get my Ps I can DRIVE TO WORK IN JANUARY SAVING ME 30 MINS TRAVEL TIME EACH WAY!

Life is sweet as when you have something to look forward to.

I'm also sick of having Korean food for dinner (K is obsessed). Missing M's home cooking D:

The end is near, thank goodness.

My name on rice?

I'd like to publicly express my gratitude to my lovely bestfriend for dropping by yesterday. Thank you for feeding me quality food - fresh cupcakes/muffins > emergency food anyday. My grain of rice is now attached to my swishy keyring!

Anyway, Another crap ass Friday night spent halfstudying. I feel a bit like a zombie. Blergh. More studying after the fish markets tomorrow. And then afterwards, blisss. I need to get ready for work and filter through hundreds of emails over the past few weeks. Oh man.

I post too much :(

(If anyone knows of a lady version of Indochine, could you let me know?)

hiking in hk

The Great Outdoors in HK.

Reminder to myself to do this next time I'm there. :)

Went on a long walk to "dai oh" Tai O? And it was really pretty. Alot of water, houseboats, views you'd find on flickr.

There was also this crossing where you had to step on a boat and pull on a rope to get to the other side.

Don't know how else to describe it. But it was really fun.

Fish market tomorrow after my exam! Yesyes!

This was an entertaining read.

The 7 Dumbest Things Students Do When Cramming For Exams

Out of nowhere I have decided before I die, I will:

• go hot air ballooning. I looked it up on redballoon was shocked at the prices. I thought, hmm. It's just riding in a big basket, should be like.. $1XX ish right? Wrong. $300 +  but still would be magnificent.
• travel interstate. And not just Canb/Melb/GC, but Tassie, Perth and Adelaide. Don't know what I'll be doing there, but it occurred to me that I don't know much about Australia as a whole because I've been a Sydneysider all my life :/
• quadbiking. Hells yes.
• dance lessons. This is the new hip thing to do I think. I know alot of people learning salsa at work. I think I'll like jive more though.
• get a nice healthy tan. I can't stand being pasty, but I don't want to be criticised when I head overseas to see my relos. #firstworldproblems

Anyway, back to study :D I can't wait until these exams are done. I can then stop feeling guilty about not studying properly (though I do surprise myself. I know more than I think I do!)

Emergency food

Emergency food has always been my favourite type of food.

Boil macaroni pasta in salted water. When it's semi soft, throw in the spam and frozen peas.

It's tastier than it looks (and it doesn't look half bad). So easy but it's a bad habit. I should eat the fresh food in the fridge first D:

36 out of a hundred.
There are seven extra books I want to read: 8, 20, 45, 51, 61, 85, 100
A teacher I had once encouraged me to read a lot of these books. Because of her influence, I was reading pride & prejudice, mockingbird, and cs lewis when my friends were reading redwall and harry potter.  However, as the years go by, the quality in my reading depreciates. I turned to Harry Potter books, glossy mags and picture blogs. I started sleeping on the train, and playing with my phone before bed and I stopped making time for reading. Ugh. Turning into a disappointment. Boo.

I want to find a book which will enlighten me. I want a deep book and not a ditzy cheap read which I will forget in a weeks time. I want something to teach me to be less superficial. I went to book depository and looked in the "personal development" section and found nothing.

Any good recommendations?

highlight of the week

If if you guys have me on google latitude, you would see me stuck at home, all day everyday. 

The only highlight to me, is knowing that I am still being paid everyday, to do whatever I want.

I've been reading The Richest Man in Babylon.  It's teaching me to pay myself first before anything else (i.e. taking a portion out of my income to save before paying bills, buying food, etc), and to invest.

It's truly inspiring and a really good read because it teaches through fables and other fancy thingamajigs like that.

But yeah, this week, I've been saving heaps of money because I haven't been out at all. It's the only thing keeping me going these days.

I dreamed I was in Europe last night. It was so beautiful, and such a fun trip.  When I woke, I felt like crying because I realised my accounting exam is coming up in 3 days and I am so underprepared.

er am i too conservative?

Hi all,

In the name of procrastination, I was surfing the hk entertainment news channels on youtube, and came across this:



This is Cammi Tse, 16 year old "Leng mo" (leng = beautiful, mo = short for Model).  A few weeks ago she was going out with Edison Chen and there was huge controversey (blahblah 15 year age gap blahblah barely legal).

Holy shit.

Holy shit, man.

She is sixteen and using him to get famous.

Not just him, some other artist from tw and a tvb artist (mentioned in the video above).

What was I doing when I was sixteen?

Oh god. How could her parents let this happen to her?  So much shit happens in the HK entertainment world. It's freaky. 

stop asking for experienced staff

So I've been on seek for a half an hour looking for some office admin roles I could take up during my full time uni days next year.  All these jobs ask for the same thing.

Needs experience.

ALL of them. Are you kidding me. If you all need experienced people, how do new starters get a chance?

It's so much easier applying for a job internally or through someone.

Digressing slightly, I was having a conversation with a complete random today about cadetships.  She was from a small firm and wanted to "see more". I bit my lip, in order to suppress my inner company pride from spewing from my mouth, but I couldn't hold it for long. I started telling her about how I showed my friend a shortcut into the company. She was shocked.

So little people know this.

If you want to enter a particular company, the easiest way is to know someone who works there.

Connections matter.

So join those clubs, attend those career fairs, go shake hands with important people. The world is so small, people. You will probably bump into them again, or know someone else who knows them, or end up working for them later in life.

This also means you should never be rude. To anyone.

Even if you're eating in a restaurant, being served my a sloppy waitress. Don't be rude. She could be a uni student studying HR or Management. In a few years time, she could be your boss.

Sounds a bit far-fetched, but you know what I'm getting at.    I hope.


I'm going to buy myself a present. It will be my last one before I find another job. I'm gonna buy myself a watch!

Fangirl - no more after this. I promise.

So when 10 Korean pop bands hop on a plane and fly to sydney to perform in 1 concert, you have to see it.

This probably means nothing to 98% of the Australian population, BUT I SAW THEM IN THE FLESSHHH. CN BLUE. HURRAH.

This is Min Hyuk (drummer) from cnblue.

Yes, if you drew on hair, he'd look like a girl. Yes, he looks like a kid (he's not). Yes, he looks a bit lame in this photo (but its one without make up lol).

But he's a fantastic drummer and does awesome tricks like spinning his drumsticks and thowing them up into the air (and catching them!). I think he's cool. Yeaaah, I was watching him play one whole song through Leo's binoculars. Witnessed all the spins. Ooh'ed and ahh'ed and felt that my life (yet again) felt complete.

They were only in China  a few days ago :/



Sydney crowd was so much better. I was louder than all the people in this video. D:

Super glad I went, and many thanks to my fellow kpopfest buddies for putting up with my screaming!

kpop in sydney tonight!!

Hurrah! So much excitement.

Even though I was holed up at home this week, I did manage to do something interesting on Thursday night. My friend's 21st was held in a penthouse in the city and I went to say hi. Missed all the action but witnessed the aftermath on facebook. Feel so sick now.

And tonight! HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY! Kpop stars in person? K is so jealous :D

It's Friday today?

For the first time in forever, I am not doing anything on a Friday night.

I feel so incredibly bored - and it so does not feel like a weekend.

At about this time last week, I was feeling euphoric. Pumped for the beginning of the weekend.

I hate exams.

Daaamnittt. Nothing is going into my head. GARGHGHGHHGHGH

Eating healthy starting ....

NOW!

Self indulgent? I think so!

I don't know why I always feel a need to document everything. Though, this does come in handy for work (if it isn't documented, it's not done!), it does appear a bit "self indulgent" as Mayers once said. Of course at that moment I didn't dare admit to having one.

But it's true.

I'm a bit quiet and live under a rock in July (busy period), but apart from then, I'm always blogging from my phone - on the train, walking around, from a restaurant. Maybe if I become famous (for what? who knows), my great-great-great grandkids will appear on that family history show reading up on the past - our present. It will be awesome. Historians of the future will thank me for my photos and random outbursts of "current" language. Totes.

TO DO on Thursday

• Finish a stupid checklist which has 1000 questions (NOT EVEN KIDDING) x 2
• Get my laptop fixed
• Contemplate whether or not I should attend a "CEO & OFFICE HOES" themed party.
• If I have decided "yes, ok I'm going" I need to find a suitable outfit. oh lol. How am I going to explain to D
• If not, I will come home and Skype with fam in HK.

FAR OUT WHY DO I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING CRAWLING UP MY LEG OR DOWN MY NECK THIS IS PISSING ME OFF SO MUCH I AM IN SUCH A BAD STATE OF PARANOIA RIGHT NOW.

P.S I'd like to publicly apologise to my neighbour M, for singing, at incredibly high decibels for the past few days. I have been bored out of my mind and have rediscovered my love for my guitar (can't believe I almost sold it!) and jazz. I just forgot everyone else on the street was probably studying for exams.  When D came home today, he was like "HOLY CRAP I COULD HEAR YOU WHEN I WAS DRIVING INTO THE STREET".

Fark. Who knew acoustics in our street was so good? But yeah, I'm sorry. K sings loudly too, so I can't take all the blame. But if the noice was during school hours - yeah, it was me. D:

P.S.S You peeps gotta stop associating me with food! I used to aspire to be a food blogger, but as you may have noticed, I was never going to get there. Plus I need to save money for other important things like.. travel, bills, and iPhone apps (oh. man. don't get me started on those).  I'm devo, yeah, but I'll still eat?

Ok. Feeling delirious with sleep but need to reply to a text. Currently putting off replying to a text from a few hours ago. I feel rude for not replying, expecially if the other person has asked a question, but this person KEEPS asking questions, so I can't not reply. (argh double negative).  I really want to say "shut up and ask me in person" but I fear this person will shoot me down with an enormous amount of questions and with lots of eagerness for quality answers (which I am unwilling to supply).  I can no longer use the sorry-I'm-out-of-credit excuse because I'm on a massive plan and texting now uses data, not credit, and I can't be rude because well.. it's a small world and I don't want to upset anyone.

GEEZ THIS POST IS LONG.

I haven't stepped out of the house for more than an hour in a while. Going a bit nuts.

Where to from here?

So I'm driving a car (metaphor, we all know I haven't got a proper license yet) along a long stretch of road. It feels nice and comfy, there are bumps here and there, but nothing too bad.

Then I come to a fork in the road. I can either:

a) take the long windy exit, or
b) take the motorway.

Which do you take?

Now, if I was driving a real car, which road I take would highly depend on my current situation (i.e. am I late for work? Am I just heading to the park for a bbq with friends?).  Costs of taking the motorway include tolls, but I'll get there quicker, and the costs incurred for taking the long windy exit is more traffic.

I've been thinking about this for the past week, and I still can't make up my mind. It's not really a HUGE thing, but will make a difference to my life during the first half year back at work.

This wasn't really a big issue for me earlier, not until my manager sat down with me and told me to reconsider my options. 

My options are:

a) regular pay (ok. maybe not - I'm sure I'll never stop complaining), regular responsibility, regular commitment. (exit) Pros: Having less opportunities to screw up, doing better than "expected" of my role -> getting better ratings -> higher payrise.
b) higher pay, higher responsibility, high commitment to work. (motorway)

Option A was always my default answer. At least it was until my manager pointed out that I should be aiming for B.

I started off this cadetship being really ambitious and wanting to take on challenges, I mean, I still like to be challenged (but I've seen the extremeness of the challenges at work, and I really don't think I'm up for that sort of stuff), but to a lesser degree.  I want to be able to finish work before 7 everyday, and have a nice dinner, a nice hobby/sport. 

I'm too scared to take on option B, because I know if I screw up, I will screw up big time.

In the long term, it might not make that much difference. I guess. My audit idol (don't laugh, she is a gun), took option B. And sped through the ranks like crazy.

But however much I idolise her, I don't want to end up like her. Ahaha. At the end of the day, I want more than just audit and my dreams, I want to be living my dream (but I also haven't quite figured out what that is).

Ah. I never used to think so much. People used to say "you're set for life!", but I guess there's just so much more we never even considered.  The next few weeks will be decision making time. I don't want to upset my manager, but I don't want to ruin the quality of my life when I start work again.



Next year, I can almost imagine myself standing behind the counter at a coffee shop asking patrons about their day ahead. Busy all morning, intoxicated with the sweet aroma of baked goods and bitter coffee beans. Ahh. A break from the corporate. A break from nasty clients with bad attitudes. A break from "ok guys, what take out should we get for dinner tonight".

Unfortunately, I need good pay to satisfy my monthly bills and other contingent liabilities, so... anyone know a place where they need a part time assistant accountant?  My dad suggested tutoring and I just laughed. And laughed. And laughed.

Then I looked him in the eye, and said "no".



What a long wordy post. Pre-exam procrastination. Not really. Got a call from work this arvo "I know you're on leave, but could you please ........". I couldn't say "screw you guys, i'm going home" because a) I was already home, and b) You can't say no to a friend in need (yes, I now understand why my parents have a problem with me blurring the line between workmate and friend).  And I wasn't studying, but watching a new tvb drama (CHO LAM!!).

OK. I think I'm done.

Till next time!

Need to quit joking' around

My friend keeps telling me it's doomsday soon and won't tell me why, or what is happening on said D-day. (honestly, it really pisses me off when someone tells you the start of something and won't finish to keep you in suspense).

I say something along the lines of "stop making me guess. Geez I hope it's not a terminal illness or something".

Then I didn't get a reply.

An now I'm panicking. I am:

a) the insensitive friend- the one who makes inappropriate jokes

b) imagining a scenario where my friend says something like "if you knew why didn't you say something ..." tears ensued. Sad story. (speaking of sad stories, do you ever think about the day you die/get buried, and imagine seeing which friends/fam turn up at your funeral. I know I do. Sad story. Tears ensued. God, I'm sad.)

This lack of study is disheartening. It started off with doing a little background research to do with my consolidation subject (details: Apparently my female tutor is a weight lifter - sure explains alot. Alot of questions I kept to myself in the first few weeks of the semester. Lol), and some foodwishes YouTube vids, then fancam vids (I am quite excited for the concert next week), then I trawled through ALL the Misty covers on YouTube.

YouTube enriches my life, but sure as hell is a detriment to my study. The wort part is being unable to stop.

Anyway, resolution for 2012 is to be more serious and less retarded. Hope it works out !!

Oh bother

On my way home. Really short trip into the city. I didn't see anyone I knew, or speak, except to the guy at Boost. Short and sweet visit to the city. I brought my corps law legislation and a whole pad of sticky notes to begin the arduous task of bookmarking important sections, but then I remembered I left the laptop + charger on at home (and modem!!) so yes, heading home to switch it off before D comes home.

Shish kebabs at Epping? I think there is a Kebab shop.

Probs not. I have 2 full dishes of uncooked wontons at home (woohoo), cheap and healthy alternative. Wish I was Lebanese. Garfhhhhf I want some of that chicken D:

My friend who lives up north (north north, like, mt colah) was asking me about El Jannahs and questioning me about the quality of their chicken. I don't really love El Jannahs so I suggested Sofras. I LOVE YOU SOFRAS!

My favourite colour is blue

Hello!

Isnt it funny how all my social networking apps are blue? Cool huh. Currently on the train to the city to retrieve my laptop from work. Boost is on the menu (november detox month - not really a detox, but I need to make it up to my body for what I did to it after SIFF) and so is window shopping at Marcs.

Watched get him to the Greek last night (wasting away my annual leave) and I really liked it. Ahaha, I honestly didn't expect it to be so entertaining, but it was! Ahh Russell Brand. The joy of having no expectations.

Anyway, time to admire the views of Sydney harbour from the bridge - can never get enough.

Good luck w exams!

could-have-been love story

Ahaha, I think I can relate to this video. Happens on this blog alot. I type, I delete, I type, I save as draft, I delete draft, I publish post, and then, I delete the post.



I need to start wearing watches again. When I need the time, I keep looking at my wrist (even though I haven't worn one in almost 10 years).

Tame Friday night

Dessert with a beautiful view.

It seems more fun each time I do this.

Recipe for fun.

All you need are friends, ice cream, spoons and a game called truth or truth.

Had dinner at the Bavarian beer cafe last night, got loose (just kidding), and took a tub of frozen yoghurt to eat by the harbour.

Can't believe it's 3pm already. Weekend sure knows how to pass by quickly.

The bob

I haven't quite figured out if this is a good look on me.

I want to change something. Something that screams "IM A FULLTIME STUDENT". Or on second thoughts, just something different :)
