fuchsia fragments

i'm so pleased with what we came up with today during lunch. a theme for my 21st. a new one that is. more things to go on my wishlist.

plus a load of things i need to do after the midsem. or want to do. massive difference.

i need to diet. i want to op shop.

and i don't like rain when i don't expect it. so i froze when walking to my car. and realised that i need a snow and water proof warm pair of boots for japan. like the ones donna was telling me about this morning - gumboots on the outside with sheepskin (ugg) boots inside for warmth...

the new thank god ur here is pretty funny.

wish i was on a role like i was last night. it will happen at 9!

its funny how my acct tutorial had a total of 2 guys: the tutor and my fellow group member. so out numbered.. but i think thats how it is usually anyway. really small tute group today anyway.

anyway, i got my stimulus bonus. =) now how shall i spend it... lol. jks. i need to save up for japan man...

i feel like im just eating heaps these days. it's probably got something to do with the fact that im supposed to get my period any day now. but whatever.

i'm gonna try the grapefruit diet as soon as i get my hands on.. grapefruit.

lol. like.. go to the fruit shop or whatever. i'm a bit busy at the moment. maybe sometime this week. and guess wat, i can eat meat with this diet!!!

maybe thats why it appeals to me.

800 calories a day. yeah, i've done it before.

i just have issues sticking to it diets these days. that will change.

when ur pissed off and angry, the things u make automatically taste and turn out like shit. baked cheesecakes over non-baked anyday. today's was self-rated fail cause i wasn't in the right mindstate when i made it. and i don't personally like non-baked cheesecakes.

work actually felt like a public holiday more than a saturday. like.. the clientele is just different. i don't know how else to explain it. more mess, less sales maybe.

family gathering at my place tonight. usual crowd. missing a couple of people i guess. so much food left over because a certain mother of mine doesn't listen and just makes too much food... not going to say any more cause it'll just piss her off.

i wish i could sleep peacefully for once. i was woken up so early this morning and actually could not go back to sleep.

Anglicare Depot

Summer Hill.

Both are awesome ~ so i've been told. Colleague at work told me TT is probably better cause its sorter. The latter is more dirty, dusty, hard work, not guaranteed you'll find something. But still worth checking out.

i feel like i have overloaded on carbs today. i should really really cut back again.

uploading is so time consuming. but its done.

and still angry at nessie.

lets add the second bed and one of mum's porcelain plants to her destruction list. argh. wat am i going to do with the baby.

so it got darker and darker as we got closer to home.

and then it poured.

stacks.
and more stacks.

and mum and i went to coles at the station cause it was closer/ less people.

and ur meant to validate your ticket when u exit the carpark BEFORE you make ur way to the gates.

and the stupid car in front of me did a donna.

sort of.

she couldnt find her ticket. and there were cars building up. im pretty sure there were three cars behind me so it meant she had four cars behind her.

i was pretty patient. like.. i didnt even beep her. but the car behind me did. so shes still trying to FIND her ticket - yes, thats right - she didn't even put it into the machine to say that she was overtime or watever - she just didnt even have her eggin ticket...

and so i think she gives up or something. and reverses her car

WITHOUT EFFING LOOKING BACK
WITHOUT EFFING LOOKING BACK
WITHOUT EFFING LOOKING BACK

and i swear she was cms from hitting me only because i just literally had my hand on my horn the whole time and she stopped. and if it wasnt raining and i could have my windows down i wouldve been screaming like

'WTF R U DOING? DONT U LOOK BEHIND YOU???'

so all the cars had to reverse. i would have laughed if i weren't so irritated.

same goes for filling up petrol today. i finished filling up AND paying before the car infront of me had. so i had to wait until he was done. why are people so slow and unprepared?

its like people at ticket machines. HAVE YOUR EGGING CHANGE READY. PEOPLE HAVE TRAINS TO CATCH AND DON'T WANT TO MISS IT CAUSE U CAN'T FIND YOUR $1 COIN. LOSER.

i feel like i did so much today because i went to the gym and then went to my monday lecture and handed in my assignment at uni, came home and walked my doggies, then went to the newsagency to get a piece of poster cardboard and coles to get groceries. and it was still only about 5 pm. lol.

anyway,

nessie scared the shit out of me today. i was trying to clean her ears in the wash basin outside. and the silly girl leaps OFF.. its like at least a metre from the ground. and i was like..

OMFG
OMFG

but she got up. and she was fine. she leaped off the back of the couch once too... hmm. maybe she a cattle x cat. lols. i mean, we dont know exactly.

scout is so much smarter. he knows when i clean his ears, it makes him feel better so he endures. such a smart cookie. and extremely picky eater. and is so 'metro' dog a boy doggie. he eats slow. and clean. and has manners in a way. he doesnt jump at you. he knows when we're trying to help. and when he's in trouble. the only thing is he likes to walk you rather than the other way around.

nessie is a very messy pupppppyy.

i was just comparing my melbourne invoice to the gold coast one. proportionally, its so much cheaper. and i think i had so much more fun.

so i couldn't help but make the assumption. that one was high roller. where it all had to be luxury and money meant "better". and the other was raw cheapass-ish fun - explore. see. relax.

the accomodation was 2 star budget vs 2 bedroom apartment with views.

now i wonder what japan will be like. a combination i hope.. the best of both perhaps.

of course, the crowd was totally totally TOTALLLY different (one for each person...) which may have made an overall bigger difference.

despite having a headache and stomachache for a good part of the night. and sleeping really early since i got back from melb. like 10 pm early.

work was so sluggish on friday.

i missed melbourne lattes so so much that i was on the verge of crying.

no, thats a lie.

i just missed them. period.

melbourne was awesome. but i cant be bothered to type about it. since most people who read this were there.

lol. too bad if u weren't. photos when i get them.

i could have bought cheese back...

has chaffed lips.

...de-melbourne time.

all the way in the hills. it was a very nice place. and we actually got there a bit early so we decided to go to gloria jeans (how ironic, hillsong church, hillsong coffee) for some coffee. the chapel was nice but too modern. it lacked the feel of the traditional churches. it was more like a hall... and the ceremony was okay.

way too churchish for my liking. just.. make it a bit unwedding like. then there were photos. lots of them. cause there were lots of people who went to the ceremony.. yadda yadda.

we went to flemington for lunch. viet noodles. but they imo, were worse than the ones in hurstville. but watever cause by then, we were all starving. it was like 2:30.

got home and had an hour to get changed for the reception which was in the waterview convention centre in bicenntennial park. nice place. but very formal like.

very very formal like. food, decorations, dance floor.

justin pretended to be a waiter which was pretty funny.
speeches were okay.. not fantastic.
food was not okay.

good night though i suppose. we were specifically mentioned (or my dad was) in the bride's father speech. =D

im having a meltdown. i am so not prepared for tomorrow. i just know that im gonna have this massive breakout or something. my face is all red atm. bad bad bad.

and today. so many freaking phone calls looking for mum. shes not home. shes at work. she didnt even get home until like 10. and then shes like all stressing about tomorrow.

because eff man. stupid people make stupid decisions.
stupid people make REALLY stupid decisions.
stupid people make REALLY REALLY stupid decisions.

and its just wtf

how stupid r u.

and so we're all gonna b in a rush tomorrow. egg this is not good.

i so totally need to sleep but i can't. make up will have to cover my tiredness.

i baked today but thats just insignificant atm. why do big events always come with massive baggage.

LOL THAT'S AWESOME
those two can PB

i realised i squished my hot cross buns too much. they were too fat to be in that pan so thats why they didnt turn out as fluffy as i wanted.

i went on a major splurge today.
sheike dress
and black pumps
plus a black clutch

$170.

woohoo. no money for melbournnnnnne.

rofl.

officially started with one of my baking sessions...

homemade pizza and hot cross buns!!

and i failed to find a dress. again.

*sigh*

this is what happens when you have two biatches in an accting lecture. hahahhaha fun =D

the poor boy doesn't know wats gonna hit him in 8 months time.

(Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone)

the LOLest thing happened today in my second lecture. Jeff K was lecturing. and it's no wonder he still uses overheads - cause he can't use slides!! he kept trying to open his slideshow with the save as button. and obviously it didnt work. and we were saying to him 'no no!' and

ROFL
ROFL
ROFL

he saved a blank presentation over our lecture slides. soooo funny. at least he was smart and had a pdf back up. otherwise, no class. =D

this is more of a reminder to myself that anyone else. Thursday night after melb. wats gonna happen? crashing at my place again? cause i have work on friday at 9. thinks about it more later.

work time.

it's a rather harsh statement. and probably inappropriate and insensitive. found out yesterday that another family friend that we know passed away over the weekend... its the beginning of april and this will be the third funeral this year...

to balance it out, i will be going to my 2nd wedding of the year?

i dont think it works that way.

but like my parents said, when u get to a certain age, you need to be prepared for these like these happening. and it's not like theyre still young. they had a fulfilling life...

3rd rock cafe again. its fast becoming my favourite restaurant at bevo.

we had dinner/dessert and chatted. and cheered up.
usual crew.
good to catch up since we don't see each other at work all that often sometimes.

had the bludgiest but messiest day (tats like almost an oxymoron) at work. but i dont care. im not working for a while.

might be planning a road trip for late june. =D sounds good to me.

and LOL@janices twilight poster.

i took today off from work (which was a fantastic idea so i hear from jananice because of the stuff that happened) with the goal of finding a dress to wear to a wedding.

we went to bankstown via my grandmas place.

it was a big culture shock. woke me up a little bit.

why?

driving is just.. not normal.
PARKING in insane. i don't think the people there grasp the meaning of the words "no parking", "no stopping" and "clearway"
they have no road rules.. its like melee on the roundabouts.
and the styles (clothing-wise) it rather tacky. like.. as small and boring hurstville can be, at least we have class...

verdict: i will not be taking saturday off deliberately in the near future. and i definetely won't be shopping in btown for a long time to come.

(Taylor Swift - Love Song)

sorting through feathers, ribbons, lace and trim can be fun but rather tedious. so many pretty things i see.

and i rebuilt the two mannequins that obviously the other ppl can't figure out. there were like parts missing originally. -_-" like its pretty simple. reminds me of tarjay mannequins.

nessie was really bad today.
really really bad.
so i smacked her.
and she thought i was playing with her.
how to discipline?
for the record, she totally demolished one of mum's potted plants. she dragged it to her bed, emptied the soil, chewed through the flower and plastic pot and pretty much made a mess of the balcony.

irritated. but well, i guess its part of the puppy growing up stage.

the monkey had her walkathon at school.
LOL
LOL
her grade must be like hexed or something. their swimming carival gets cancelled, the walkathon is at school, the imports tried to outdo them at the school dance...

HAHAHAHAHA. high school drama is hilarious.

i added an easter section to wynwyns place.

it's been a very long thursday that has just flowed through into the night.

we started off with dropping my sister off at school and then heading to the new shop where we proceeded to drag and carry copious amounts of costumes, material and other stock around the new workshop and store space. it was tiring. and there was this kid there. ari's age. talked a hella lot more than my godbrother tho. but he was sick. runny nose. thats why he wasn't at childcare.

came home and we had a really early dinner cause mum had an appointment and monkey had tutoring. and after that, went grocery shopping to get my easter baking stuff.

BAKING IS SO NOT CHEAP
BAKING IS SO NOT CHEAP
BAKING IS SO NOT CHEAP
BAKING IS SO NOT CHEAP

anyway, by the time that was all good and done, it was time to pick up my sister from tutoring and just as we got in the house, we get called to 'cut the cake' for ari's birthday at his house. so we were there. and we had cake which wasn't that good imo, cause the mango was unripe. and it had a lot of cream. and makes me feel sick for eating so late at night...

im gonna try making hot cross buns next week. =D
