happy end of financial year!

GOODBYE FY 10, HELLO FY11! This year will be full of work, uni and hopefully a payrise!

Today, the weather in Manildra was bearable. I found it strange that it's significantly colder (2 degrees) in Orange, which is just an hours drive away.  That's right. I'm living an hour away from where I'm working because the town in which I am working in, is too small and no hotel/motel/anyother store except 1 tuckshop exists on the mainroad, or any road in that town.

I'm not sure if that's the right syntax, but I am beyond caring right now.

Tomorrow will be a long day and I will NOT be looking forward to it.

WHT:
Got up, ate breakfast in my room (opted not to go to buffet- regretted that decision), spilt water on myself. I dried myself using the hair dryer but it made me late to the car where S and J were waiting so :/ oops.  But I'm glad I got that dry because you have no idea how easily things turn into ice out here in the country.

The grass starts frosting over at 9pm and when you walk on sections of lawn you can feel the crushing of ice beneath your feet.

I must admit, I am enjoying this country experience. In Manildra, everyone knows each other and is really super friendly to people who aren't local (i.e. ME!).  On several occassions there'd be people walking past me on the street when I cross the road- they all say hi, g'day, how're ya mate, and all those equivalent. It's so different from Sydney.

Dumdidum, after getting most of my work done (which means being annoying and pestering AP/ AR staff to get lots of paperwork), I was sent back to Orange (45 min drive) to count pallets of stock in a warehouse.  After 30 mins in Orange, I had finished counting, and then I was sent back to Manildra.

When I got back into the office I said hi to S and J, and they promptly began packing up when I started to set up my laptop.

lol.

[[Urban outfitters having massive sale- $10 for an item of clothing- What the eff I just looked at it again and there is cheaper stuff than that. omg buying tights online is so much cheaper than buying from Woolies ]]

We had dinner at a woodfire pizza restaurant, but funnily enough, no one ordered a pizza.  There was a seafood marinara, a fettucine bolognaise and ... a ca... ca-something. Will look it up later when I blog about Orange properly next time.

I think Orange is a good place to go for a short trip or holiday. It's really nice.  Would be a better experience if you came during spring. :)

But yes. Tomorrow. 7am start at work which means I have to get up 5.30. Excellent. Within 6 hours from now D:

O to the RANGE

mid sentence "frii-(ck why won't this work)"

ha. comp froze and webcam went funny..

So I got up really early this morning (after falling asleep at 4 ish). Ate, got ready, heard my colleague's car pull up and then DISCOVERED MY MUM'S CAR HAD FRICKING BEEN BROKEN INTO.

To the person who broke into our 1994 camry- fahk you to hell.  Obviously someone who drives a 1994 camry will NOT have anything valuable inside. What. The. Faaaaaaaarrrrk.  The worst thing is, I saw our front light go on, but I thought it was the wind. OMG if I ever see the front yard sensor light go off again and I find ANY person outside, I WILL FRICKING SKIN YOU ALIVE BITCH!  Insurance doesn't bloody cover this, and we have to fork out money for this. If you were to steal something, TAKE THE WHOLE CAR you retard. I hate picking up other people's mess. >:(

(interruption: on tv, and aussie reporter just said "obviously we'll be supporting our fellow asian team- go JAPAN!)

But yeah. If you're going to commit some sort of crime, like other tasks, follow it through.  Steal the whole car.

Mawson, BEWARE we have a fricking thief prowling our street. 

I am thousands of kilometres away right now, but the feeling of paranoia won't go away.

Ahhh waking up to this totally ruined my mood.  Anyway- just for reporting purposes and to remind myself to blog later, I went to a restaurant for dinner today. Harrison's, Orange. Ordered a scotch fillet steak and a pannacotta desert. More info will come later. The dinner was very disappointing and I do not want to be sued for defamation of any sort by saying something harsh. Plus i am not thinking straight in this 27 degree room.  HAHA thank goodness for aircon

Family and MORE family! ft Neighbour's laundry

Before I begin blabbering on about my family, I'd like to wish you all happy holidays and enjoy it while you can. Yes. In 3 years time (or 5 for science folk and 7 for med kids) you will only be allowed to take 4 weeks of leave per year.  Then, you will learn to treasure your weekends and long awaited long weekends.

So last friday, I finally kicked Blethics in the butt and finished my last exam

Hurhurhurr Goodbye Stack-of-Acts

Because there are way too many computers and distracting devices in my room, I always opt to study in the dining room. It's always bright enough there during the day. Special thanks to my neighbour's white fiber side-roofy thing. And yes, if I leapt over the fence and crawled into that tiny window, I would end up in Mawson's laundry.  So those of you who keep saying that it's possible for us to stalk each other... well it IS possible, but it's made really difficult thanks to this loquat tree, the size of his window, the particular room the window is of, and of course, the good ol' fence.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Gosh, after our exam at the racetrack, Bosco and I and his friend Antonio decided to walk towards usyd to meet up with the usyd science folk.  I kept calling people, but their phones were OFF!  In the end, we get a call and everyone is in the fugly tower building waiting for us ! D:

We met up, and went to Mamak! But there are no photos, for we were too hungry on the day.  Plus I am not Malaysian, and do not have a good enough memory to recount what we had for lunch that day. Mee goreng, nasi something, lemak something roti... more roti, some curry, some peanut-y stuff I gave to Topher LOL! I SWEAR I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS PEANUT SAUCE. I AM SO SORRY! (beeteedubbs- he's allergic !)

After lunch, we split up, and sim, Sam, Sarah, Alan and I ventured into Chinatown in search of the Emperor's egg tarts & puffs! No photos of that either.  Alan leave, and Michael joins us and we merrily head to Myer to do some shopping and then Woolworths because they are the freshfood people.  Overload on goodies and then we split up again.

Everyone heads home while Sam and I wander around the city waiting to see Cat.  We see her, and then we take the train home.

That evening my bus came on time, and I arrived home earlier than I anticipated, because I was the only one home!  Prepared dinner and found flowers on the table.

Happy Birthday K!

We celebrated and watched a team lose. The end.

Then Saturday... I don't remember what happened on Saturday. waaahh?

Sunday.

Hello Rhyanna

So we visited my cousin G today because it was baby Rhyanna's "full month" celebration!! 

My little nieces/nephews are so much bigger now!! :D :D And so much noisier

Laura and Joshy!

M, L, B, K, J, V and M!

My cousins always inspire me to be a better person, a better daughter and a better sister. I wish they lived closer to us :(  But I've always found it kinda weird that they started having kids at the same time.. :/

Haha, hope you all had a nice weekend!

P.S. Did anyone want to murder that Italian referee in the Aus v Ghana match?  That tackle from behind should have been a red!

P.P.S.  Because Bosco had no money on Friday and Usyd people were waiting for us, I didn't get a chance to go to the fish markets. I was bitterly disappointed (not really), but all is fine again, because G's hubby, super chef C, cooked us a freaking huge seafood feast. I am feeling really bloated and disgusting right now because I probably ate too much and will not be bothered to go for a run.

P.P.P.S. Fml. Full time work resumes in less than 12 hours.

sleep deprived

When I am sleep deprived, I turn into THE biggest bitch ever.

Last night, I decided to give the world cup a miss because of my exam tomorrow.  At 2am, my mum walks into the living room and turns the tv on to start watching E.U. on volume 14 =_=; I normally keep the tv at 13 during the day and 4 at night...

I somehow fall asleep in the raquet, and I wake up again at 6 and she is still watching it :(

I feel so unbelievably tired. I think I'll move back into my room. Ceebz last night because it was too cold to move.

>:(

This morning, I made myself a porridge and I sent her out the door (not really, she's going yumcha with friends). SHE KEPT SINGING IN THE SHOWER and I just really wanted to die right there in my Blethics textbook.

Kill me now.

In less than 24 hours I will have to drag myself out of bed, hurl myself into the car, try to study on the train and begin the long trek to stupid Wentworth Park. Perhaps afterwards I should treat myself to oysters at the fish market :O

Feeling better already. Will tell you how that goes!

PS, I did start watching the Chile v Honduras game (1-0)- but to be honest, I found it to be quite boring...

1-0

I also watched a bit of the Switzerland v Spain game but I was too tired by then...

Argentina v Korea tonight!

lacking quality sleep, losing common sense

Hi Everyone!

Hope you've all been studying hard for exams or watching the world cup!  I've been staying up everyday, trying to watch all the games (it's so hard ;( I remember being better at staying up 4 years ago).

Cote d'ivoire v Portugal last night, nil all.

Go Portugal! Go Deco!

Wish I had been 100% alert last night because right now I can't exactly recall why Ronaldo got a yellow card. All I remember is thinking about how old Deco was and he's probably not going to play in the next world cup. He's either slowing down or everyone else is just getting faster now :(

Another thing I couldn't stop thinking about was the height of the players. FREAKING HELL they're damn tall. And wow, it must have hurt to fall from such a height. Every few seconds someone would fall over, flat on their face. Kind of amusing, but yeah, ouch.

After this game on SBS, the North Korea v Brazil match was on. I really can't recall North Korea playing in the past, but I have to say I was sort of impressed because I didn't exactly have high expectations of them at all.  Their GK reminds me of Don. Bahahaha! Seriously. Actually when you zoom in on photos there is no resemblance at all.  But here, #1 looks like Don right?

I am impressed.

I also watched the England/US match replay and I have to say, this tie is probably an embarassment to England.  The US are probably rejoicing.

Ghana game on Friday night, after my last exam. My plan for that day is to do my exam, finish my exam, eat with whoever, buy lots of korean snacks on my way home and just camp out infront of the tv for the rest of the world cup.

I have been sleeping in the living room for a week now. Haha it's such a mess right now. Humdiho!

Good luck!
