i hate my computer
i hate my isp server
they're both out to get me. destroy my sanity. ive lost count of the times ive rebooted tonight. and i KNOW for a fact its not an external attack. so its either windows is fucked (as usual) or theres a hardware problem. both of which i am not keen on fixing at the moment. i even kicked my tower a few times. i dont usually do that. and the computer at work decided to play up on me too. it restarted itself for no reason 3 times while i was using it. and i didnt necessarily have everything saved damn it! techonology stinks.
anyway, i read this statement somewhere and i thought it was really good

'...and they should all just copulate off.'

im not rostered on apec public holiday despite what a certain manager said. how typical but i dont really care. it matters little to me.

this orning, i managed to catch a sydney terminal (but i still had to wait ages for a bus cause of the lines) and i bumped into elena from work so we started chatting. facebook, assholes at work, pricks of a manager, etc.. and saying how martin started the whole facebook thing.
so i get off at the first bus stop, walk to OMB where i had my lecture and theres this guy in front of me at the door to the building and u know how its polite to like hold the door, and he turns and im like 'hahaha look who it is..' and hes like (as he usually does at work as well -_-) 'wynnniiiiee!!'.. so yeah tat was freakishly conincidental. and haha he was like wat r u doing in OMB? and im like i had a lecture like duh. and hes like r u sure ur not doing drugs? lol sure
anyhow, i bought 35 dollars worth of cellophane from ebay. =D dont ask me why. i felt like it. hahahaha

had quite a few issues with my computer in the last few weeks. it decided to fix itself today after many many restarts and frustrated screams from me. i was kind of putting up with it after i established it wasnt a worm or a virus or a trojan thinking that my system just needed a detox and defrag at most. hopefully its okay now.
it was hot today =D and i had an accting homework check. out of all weeks.. she picks the hardest. anyhow at least its not marked based on if u got it right or not.
trains were really effed up this afternoon. all fully packed so i couldnt get on until like the third one and even then i was squished like a sardine. cityrail is hopeless.
and yeah theres some lunar eclipse thingy tonight. whoppee. HAHAHA

the moon gets eaten
wynwyn says:
yeah so it goes black theres no
moon and only stars
wynwyn says:
that happens on a monthly cycle after the
full moon
yinyin ~ says:
like a period

maybe its the common mondayitis but i really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. even though the sun was shining, i still felt cold.
anyhow, the traffic was really bad. on the princes highway it was 2 lanes with trailers and the third lane had a car sticking out of it in the driveway and my boss was like ur kidding me. and then there were these drivers who were like half asleep and stopping at a green light (???!!) and then ppl stopping in clearways and at the bus zone so it took awhile to get to the city today.
just feels like been through a whole battle before work's even started. at least its nice and warm today. i cant wait for spring!!! =D

it wasn't just two people. a third person quit yesterday =( nick's gone too now.
anyhow, work was really boring. we dressed our kid mannekin as a slutty tween with bling, sunnies, bag AND (most importantly) high heeled slutty pumps. we stuck stickers on each other, i got so bored i relayed boys underwear, we stood at soundbar for a long time. martin took a ladieswear call and the lady wanted 2 push up bras in black in a size 16c and edy and luke and mans and jan and i were fully cracking up at soundbar while he took the call. and he actually went off to find them!! HAHAHAHA tat was soooo funny.
it was really warm today so i walked home and im about 95% certain that the three guys who kept staring at me at the park near my place were ex-techies, at least one of whom i know their name and i think may have recognised me. so i came to one conclusion and the only conclusion that would make sense.. they were waiting for elisa to show up and i dunno, "hang" i suppose. im pretty sure one of them was jimmy. cause ive seen him at uni a few times too. the other two weren't as familiar but they just reeked 'elisas boy toys'. CAUSE ITS SO RANDOM TO HAVE 3 20 YEAR OLD GUYS JUST LOITERING IN THE PARK FULL OF LIL KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS AFTER 5 PM ON A SUNDAY AND IT WAS OBVIOUS THEY DIDNT LIVE AROUND THE AREA.
anyway, i got home and my uncle's (well it was my cozins but same difference) car was in the driveway i thought it was a regular visit but it wasn't. my cozin came over with her parents and her husband from fiji. apparently he arrived today and its like the necessary visit.. introducing him to all the relos and stuff. so yadda yadda.
oh yeah and a miracle happened today. almost literally. we thought another fish was lost forever. so i, on a whim (no, i wanted to do it the first time), took apart the cannister filter. and i found not one, not two, but THREE fish. one of which had been missing for about 5 weeks now. alive but very very very skinny. poor baby =( but im so happy he's still alive. =D right after i had to go and buy another 2 albinos cause i was so sad. so we rescued them and almost flooded the living room (thats why its such a pain in the ass to take apart a cannister filter) and made sure it wouldnt happen again. im gonna get some different colour guppies next so i can breed them. =D
i'm being so long-winded today. bandwidth is there by a thread. *glares at dad*

(Mariah Carey & Brian McKnight - Whenever You Call)
my godbrother is absolutely adorable as some of you may know. cute lil kid but his brother, (oh dear) is a total maniac. probably has ADHD or ADD. i forget which it is. anyhow, ari ari ari.
...he picked up one of the empty wine bottles and tried to drink out of it.
...he took the net from the fish tank and attempted to catch fish from the tank.
...he tried to play the piano.
...he tried to turn the gas heater on.
...he tried to roll on my gym ball.
...he attempted to read my accting textbook
...he was talkin on the fax machine (that we smartly disconnected prior to him coming)
...he broke dad's amplifier (the really old expensive ones HAHAHA)
...he broke dad's glasses
...he tried (and almost succeeded in) opening a can of coke so we gave him a can of soup instead (the ones where u have to open it with a can opener)
...he ate a whole slice of sesame cheesecake and wanted more.
love the kid. hes grown heaps. less fidgety. still adorable.

the simpson's move is really good. some very good humour in it =) ahhaha and it was so funny cause [dont read if u havent watched it] bart was writing 'i will not illegally download this movie' and guess where i was watching it? *wink*
anyhow, i went to work today and i swear half of them there was like.. where have u been? how come u havent been working? i though u quit? HAHAHA im glad i was missed.. it feels good i guess to be back. usually. turns out 3 of our managers are either on leave or been transferred temp to another store. nadia and jess quit today and we have these new ppl working (i still don't know them). still sticking with the same bunch. make me wonder whether i should be quitting or not.. hm.
so i mulled over it in the kitchen. i made a sesame cheesecake (my own variations) so i think it turned out okay if i may say so myself and some pastry thing that looks like a volcano. lol tat wat dad said but they taste good so what the heck.
oh yes and i cleaned the fish tank outside (and in case u dont know, that ones about 100 times worse than the one i had to clean inside) the water was black and it smelt and it was cold and there were THREE forgotten, rotten fish in there. absolutely disgusting. dad was suppposed to do it but no.. so i did it. gonna put plants and guppies in it sort of like a breeding tank for them both =)

and the wildly frealy coincidences keep happening. donna sent a text around about she wasnt feeling well and went home early. and my sister apparently came home from school today cause she wasnt well around lunch.
so i had a cosy little lunch with joyce who was discussing what would be her 20th birthday thing.
bumped into sam on the train home.. she works at boost with mandy now (yeah ok you probably all know) and yeah. um.. harrys going to the party thing next saturday eventhough he'll be the only guy there??
i was sort of sorting and cleaning out my wardrobe and there were all these boxes on the bottom with things from the past.. im talking about highschool AND primary school. man, how i've changed. i had half a heart to throw it all out. obviously i didnt

i made our fish tank explode (accidently of course) and now the water's all cloudy and smells like alcohol. if it kills my fish i'm gonna jump off a cliff. basically what happened was i was producing co2 from a bottle and it all got too much.. there was too much gas and the airstone wasnt emitting it quickly enough so it burst and the yeast got into the water. i think it should be fine. i mean its not like its toxic. yeast is edible. it just depends if my lil fishies can deal with it. *fingers crossed* i dont want to have to change the water in the middle of the night in the freezing cold.
i know im whining but me as a member of generation Y is not use to copying notes from an overhead during a lecture. i need powerpoint slides!! hahahaha nah, i can survive. it wasn't that bad.

i dunno why i said the above
today we had to say see u later to my lil coz and aunt and uncle cause they were flying back to hk and ironically, my boss comes and picks me up way earlier than expected. hahaha tat was kinda funny. dad was like do u want a coffee and my boss' like 'yep, i came by early so she can wash the car anyway' HAHAHA -_-"
it was so funny at work too cause our ISP was down all day and the server was down for a while so we couldnt really do much. one of the partners left early cause she couldnt take it any longer and the others were like literally moaning all day about how they couldnt survive without the internet. i thought that only applied to generation y. apparently not.
and im still unable to upload my pictures.

this morning i washed the mahjong and we played another 8 round of mahjong. and hAHAHAHA i swear da mahjong listened to me cause i was so nice and gave them a bath cause i managed to win back all that i lost and them some. and dad had to "wrap" (bao) a self pick 8 fan. ahh me so good =P uncle won heaps too. he kept winning like 5 in a row and they were all medium to large wins.
we were gonna have a bbq today but it was raining pretty heavily so we turned it into a shove everything in the oven and play mahjong while u wait for the food.
apart from that stayed home while they did their last minute shopping.

yesterday i got to be da driver =D we went to the blue mountains which was actually a pretty easy drive. not that far although there were quite a few cars considering. and the weather was really good. like there was a bit of sun and the mountain was actually blue and it was clear and you could see the three sisters pretty clearly. but like any other tourist destination in sydney, its a bloody rip off.. from parking to the skyway and scenic railway rides. and cause my aunt and uncle are so chicken and afraid of heights, we went for a little bit of a track walk instead. didn't stay too long since there wasn't much to see.
we went to canley vale for lunch. and of course, you'd have to have viet food there. and we went to buy fishies!!!
- 5 rosy barb tetras
- 6 black neons
- 2 yoyo loaches
and i got 2 clown loaches the other day here in hurstville. and i have been convinced that i should not be buying discus cause they dont do too well in community tanks not to mention theyre shit expensive.
we took the scenic drive on henry lawson drive home. and you must be pretty stupid to be speeding there cause the cameras were in the jin-est positions but there were about a million speed camera warnings before you get to it. but doing anything over 60 there wouldve been so easy. (valval i feel for u) anyway it started to rain so it got slippery.
came home for a bit and went with mum and aunty to buy groceries and souveniers. and i walked past valerie. hahaha she was carrying this giant green stuff toy that she won from capital (after spendding $20... $40 for two since she was with rach who also allegedly has one) and shaking her head cause i didnt see her. -_- sorry my bad.
and i convinced them all to play 8 rounds of mahjong with me so we didnt go to sleep until 4 am!!! but it took me forever to 'open/eat' my first game. and we bet with real money. so im really really really poor now. but hey, its worth it =D

i had the kitchen to myself today so i made the most of it =D
stabs blogger who wont upload my pics.
will do so when i wake up

it rained.
it was cold.
at least i thought of what to get parents for their anniversary =)
went grocery shopping. there were heaps of ppl for no apparent reason.
why are photo enlargements so expensive?
i think i have a disorder with thing being neat and tidy and clean and ordered.

it was the tour from hell.. cept the driver. he was pretty cool (cause he wasnt asian and he was nice and very patient cause i wouldve lost it on the 2nd day)
in short. it was 6 hour trip there. hired all our skiing gear and stuff and got to the motel at 2:30 am and got 3 hours sleep.
we went to mt selwyn on the second day only to see grey skies and heaps of rain. so naturally, that meant we couldnt really do much so we were indoors for the day (we sat at the cafe drinking hot chocolate basically from 11 until 3 and it was a freakin rip off.. milo for $3 a foam cup O_o) anyhow, my cozin and uncle went for a toboggan and they got drenched so yeah.. kind of cold u know. had a pretty shitty "hot pot" dinner as well.. cause it was catered by non-asians, we had chicken and beef stock as the soup base, soggy vermicelli and rice boiled in chicken stock.. sound tempting?
today was awesome though. perisher was blue skies and not too cold. so took the kid tobogganing. i wouldve gone for a ski but i didnt want to by myself. so nevermind that. both smiggen hole and perishe ski fields were pretty packed. on the last few runs we even managed to get some air from going over a rock =D that was so mad.
anyhow, about the tour bunch. they were annoying, selfish, inconsiderate, late, etc. there was this fuckin shanghai woman who had halfie kids.. she had 5 ppl so obviously one would have to sit separately.. and there was this group of 10. and basically, the seating was fucked and everytime they got on the bus, they just sat anywhere and refused to move. so we wasted so much time because of them. like if everyone gave a little and was more considerate there would be no issues. even other ppl who werent affected were like just fuckin sit down and she was yellin at everybody about how 'in china, we would always sit together.. theres no such thing as sitting separately' and at that stage i wanted to be like 'this is fuckin australia, just shut the fuck up and sit down u bitch'. poor driver had to pull over and he was fully shaking his head probably muttering 'why why me? unbelievable...' i feel for him man. and then she kept raving on about it and HER KID FUCKIN THREW UP ALL OVER THE PLACE. STUNK UP THE BUS. disgusting pigs
oh and no joke, this girl (on our tour) fracturered her leg on a fall on the slopes. she was in ospital and shes in a cast and crutches. ouch
i wouldve preferred a weekend at home and a shift at work. no joke. at least we're back now.

after making waffles and a hurried gym session and then going via the post office to send a parcel, we went to the city. and as a sydneysider touring the city, i think its really really expensive (transport wise)
ticket to milsons point single $4.40
we went to luna park (in the toilet someone wrote 'screw the shire' HAHAHA i am so easily amused) for a walk around and then walked along the harbour bridge to circular quay where we got on a ferry to darling harbour
ticket for ferry $5.20
then we walked down to the fish markets for lunch. =D after lunch was a monorail around the city centre
ticket for monorail $4.50
paddys market which is so boring and home
ticket home single $3.20
now i should be packing cause im going skiiiiiing!!! =D =D

quiet day in the office and got home just in time cause mum and dem just got back from canberra (where they bumped into my sister who ironically, was on the school trip to canberra) and went out to miss saigon for dinner.
den i bought this bunch of stuff from kmart and hahaha i was like.. damn so cheap. i got another much needed cookie tray and smaller cake tin and a wire rack and a huge photo frame for less than 25 bucks!!! even my uncle was like.. u got that much stuff??? O_o
oh and dropped by target cause sara wanted to talk to me. i seirously have either cancelled or said im unavailable for more shifts than i have worked. i think its pissing her off but i was like 'aww but u love me' hahahaha

(Daniel Powter - Lie to Me)
i bumped into sam on the train =) not that there was much said cause i only saw her when we were getting off.
i have the same macro tutor as i did for micro. i am going to stab myself. i dont think i can live through another semester of her.. personality.
and the info system quizzes are the BIGGEST waste of time. like.. it was so.. silly i guess.
and donna somehow let elisa know that im doing infs so she keeps calling me. or she tried to today but i was driving and i was like.. no i dont want to answer it. so i kind of feel like a bitch today. but i still dont think i'll call her back
made a cheesecake today.. to me, it has zero difficulty and its no fun cause its not challenging. im gonna try for a green tea and baileys one soon =D

i have a complete lack of motivation at the gym at the moment. its great and all that theyve upgraded or updated all the equipment, but in the end its the same stuff over and over again and like eating the same thing everyday, its kind of boring. so i need some new inspiration. ive been searching for awhile now in this context.
my acct tutor's quite the bitch and it was a pretty ordinary day at uni except for the fact that rach came to my acct lecture eventho she was sitting all the way on the other side of the theatre. oh and "her boyfriend" was with her. lol we got let off a little bit early so i managed to make it home before 6 for once.
parents took relos to wollongong and fish markets today so we had seafood for dinner. =D LOVE prawns and mussels and oysters.
anyhow, apart from all this, im quite the tired and feel as though something's missing. like in the shower, no matter how i turned the two knobs, it was either too hot or too cold. i just couldnt find the right temperature today. its taken me the better half of two hours to draw a stupid mindmap and i really cant be stuffed to do anything else at the moment.
and i had an early start tomorrow.
carbs are ruining my life again. *sigh*

my aunt and uncle and lil coz are here from hk =D
and i still had work today. hehe i got to sit in da boss' chair today.. cause he had a client meeting and so i had to do stuff on his computer. felt so important. HAHAHA not
anyhow, yeah so i left the office at 6 today which is early cause i didnt get a lift home.

so i was standing on the verandah/balcony today and it was sunny so it was really nice. and i found it abolutely fascinating that there were flowers on the rosemary bushes and bees were gathering nectar or pollen or whatever it is they gather from flowers. it was so pretty.. and u can tell im not one who ventures out to the garden very often eh?
i got paid out by 3 managers cause i was late in putting in my unavailability. ahhaha edy was like.. we're not disappointed, just upset.. u didnt even give a reason! at least come up with a dodgy reason. HAHAHA i thought it would be kind of slack of me if i said i was going skiing.
anyhow, because of this unexpected sunday shift (mans and i are alternating now) i have tons of work to catch up on before i fall behind when uni has barely started.
and i need one roll of contact for each of my accting books cause they're so thick and fat. and my tutor expects us to bring the damn thing to each tutorial. damn it im taking public transport this semester!!!

when i dont want to be rostered on on a sunday, i am. *sigh* ah well. need the money anyway.
so i got kind of bored and i started baking cookies.. fun fun. i made cookies with random ingredients and turned out really well.. choc chips, oats and peanut butter. =D
plus gingerbread men and shortbread faces. reminds me a bit of primary school and kids in the kitchen. so says the monkey
oh and i gave mans and luke a lift home since shes like a 3 min walk from my place.. and all the way home luke was like omg there are pooh bears in ur car and theyre dressed like other characters from pooh!!! and im like 'oh god...' and hahaha yeah
oh and there was a bitch fight at target today.. like randomly, these two women just slapped each other on the face.. something about being in the way and a fat ass. LOLS so funny.

we beat the knights =D =D haha i dunno why it makes me so happy.. cause there's still a chance for the top 8? and its a rare win..

rainy day.. perfect office weather which is where i am atm =) and i had rice for lunch today.. hahaha. but it was nice jap food so yeah.

i finally bothered to list some stuff on ebay. it took ages but well, at least theres some sort of sense of satisfaction. and hopefully i can make or at least not lost any money in the process.
and we try and try to organise a day to play mahjong but its so hard =( kind of sad. one day it will happen.
but its a thursday night and i was one of the shoppers instead of the workers! i dont understand how people have so much stuff to shop for.. like mum and i were like.. theres literally nothing to buy, why do ppl have bags and bags of stuff?
maybe its just us.. like some shops just give you zero motivation to be there and browse.

so i took donna's advice and went to the commlabs to kill some time since shes not at uni yet but no, i am not youtubing. =)
