aspire day. typical. weather sort of held up. 2 of the boys i had today cried. LOL. at least it was cause they were laughing and not crying.

went to surry hills.

had to LINE UP for a lottery ticket. like.. hahahaha. omg. and it was the same everywhere cause it was like that when we came back to hurstville too.

crazy crazy crazy.

and no, i didn't win. i picked the numbers either one up or one down from the number drawn. as you do.

my two work tickets won some money tho. at least i get some change. lols.

can't win everytime i suppose. although it is a bit of a streak for the work sydicate.

saturday lotto to powerball (pretty impressive win) to tuesday lotto. not too bad at all.

was going to buy some more booze today but no one has melon vodka cruises. why be so picky for?? have to have melon. fine, ill dan murphy it over the weekend.

these jampacked days are so time consuming (lol?) but great!

aspire breifing.

then me and donna hit 2 and a half op shops in a row with a maccas break.

summer hill. have to drive around like 4 times until we found the place cause it was so easy to miss. and it just happens there was a accident and there were lots of police cars. and donna was like.. haha theyre prolly looking at u driving around the same streets suspiciously or something. -_- it's not like i wanted to!! haha

then reverse garbage. and lol, that place really does sell garbage!!! so random! at least she got a couple of old records. i don't even have that kind of record player anymore. those massive discs ones.

then we were to tempe tip. that was good today. homewares wise. clothes i always thought was so-so. like.. hard to find good things. got my goblets for my party. and there was a bit of a random uhm.. altercation at the registers. nothing to do with us. but well.. random..

then dropped donna off in the city. went to get mum. and went to spotlight to be massively disappointed by the unorganised, unpriced and generally useless staff there. and i thought target was bad? nah.. we're champs compared to them. fail. won't be going back.

then we hit liquorland when we got home to get some booze. they didn't have melon. so i'll see if they have it at surry hills. if not, i'll just have to go to dan murphys.

had a 4 hour lunch in brighton today. awesome. =D then only had time to do a bit of HV grocery shopping before dinner at sunnys. grandma's shout. =D

and the waiter.

hahaha.

wat a funny guy. with the crap we sort of gave him (well, more like the other people.. chefs in general), it was amazing he didn't stuff up or have a nervous breakdown.

great to have a saturday off.

5 hours on a thursday night is no fun.

tcf. registers. childrens. nursery.

omfg.

nursery.

this customer... opened TWO of the exact same portacot. and then couldnt put them back in the box. and didn't ask for customer assistance. both my managers yelled at them. which was a lol if we weren't all so stressed and so pissed off.

something like this just HAS to happen before a major visit.

as usual, it was up to me to fix it. which i did after like an hour and 6 different staff members trying to figure it out.

so stupid.

why would you do that??? theyre unopened for a god damn reason.

then went supper at yummy yummy. cheap crab. =D

since we were all running late. and traffic was peak hour, we went straight to the restaurant. and was lucky enough to find street parking.

we paid till 7:33 pm.

wagaya. yummy. and where valerie proceeded to get drunk. and order heaps of things =P jks. but it was pretty good for $107. like enough food. and yeah, i have to admit, the sushi roulette was pretty boring considering a certain sometime picked the roulette piece on the first go. lol. and them attempted to make us believe there was another roulette piece.

hahaha. no it didn't really work.

service was very quick today. probably cause we were pretty early.

and since we didn't want dessert there, we went across the street to maccas for sundaes. and where we waited for donna's mum to come pick her up.

so me and val stayed until 7:48 p.m.

and so we were overtime.

and we walk to the car and there's a parking officer booking the CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

oh shit shit shit
oh shit shit shit
oh shit shit shit

and so i was fully prepared to see a ticket on my car.

and ROFLROFL.

THERE WAS NO TICKET.

so me and val got in the car. and laughed our asses off a little bit. then valerie took the ticket off the dashboard and was like, i'll eat it so the evidence is gone.

XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. yeah. lucky much.

dropped valval off at the airport. for her week away in hk with HK$9000 in $100 dolla gangsta bills. lol.

how can we rendezvous on a highway when i dunno which maccas to stop at? O_o

spent 4 hours cleaning and scrubbing all our modules and mfus today. disgusting. and i had to go down to coles to buy ajax and scourges. hahahaha. "the cheapest ones". =D love tarjay.

jif. ajax. cleaners stuff.

me and jan headed to bevo for a bit of supper. and to talk. its that time of the year where i feel like i have no me time again. like just one thing after another. and it keeps coming.

starts again at 9 tomorrow.

at least there's wagaya

(Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me)
tcf is extremely boring. lols. looks like i'll b doing sunday mornings there for a couple of weeks cause there's a severe shortage of ppl.

nessie's taken scouts kennel and scout won't sleep in the new one. why? =( i dont want him to get cold...

i finally got to watch that EU-related episode of mei mei kitchen/ beautiful cooking. lol. it was still funny. and are they really that unskilled at cooking? sometimes its a bit hard to believe.

work was normal. getting out of the carpark was a nightmare waiting to happen. especially when it was raining shitall.

i spent literally the rest of my afternoon getting grandmas very last minute present becasue a certain cozin of mine don't know wat it means to be prepared and to plan. and as always, things go wrong when you wait till the last minute.

the plan was to get her a beautiful photo frame with me, justi and monkey photos. getting the frame was easy. myer had a lovely one. but getting the photos developed...

i went to kmart.
the usb drive wasn't working.

so i go to the usual one on forest.
it was closed.

so i had to go to rabbit photo.
and just before me, there was another customer who was printing 100+ prints express as well. so instead of a 20 minute wait, i had to wait almost an hour. which pretty much meant i had to pick them up when they closed at 5.

so i walked around the centre to see if there were any bargains. zilch. nothing. nada.

dinner in a vip room at sunnys. usual stuff. two tables. adults and kids. lobster. goose. red bean dessert (like finally, they haven't served that in a while). and cake. and photos =D =D nah they were good. good night.

had dinner with jan and michael. and lol, lover's tiffs. no more to be said. i guess its better to have minor issues than major ones.

good to talk but. about all our issues. and all the trips janice is going on. shanghai, hv, brisbane. and work. lol. always talk about work.

i froze my hands off today at work. why can't we have central heating?? =( was barcoding fairy dresses today.. and i didn't exactly see a tinkerbell one. but there was a fluro green one hahaha.

i show up to say hi to people and they put me to work immediately. lols.

but thats a good thing. so many changes are occuring. the not so good changes..

and this whole new not offering free plastic bags thing.. man - customers can be so irate about it. like.. get a disposable one. its 10 cents. problem solved.

had a lot of fun dressing my mannequins today. plus closing. and ad. and cages. i was just.. on a role. two massive visits coming up. i think the hardgds people are staying till midnight. lol.

and since when did my job description include cleaning? like scrubbing with a cloth and jif? O_O.

all the sales look so good. but im just not tempted. is the GFC in my subconsciousness that its stopping me from spending?

at dinner the other night discussing our family and who's married etc.

*along the lines of after how long one would take a gf/bf to one of our big family gatherings and specifically talking about andrew and di (cause they weren't there.. hahaha)*

*steers into my direction on if i bought a guy home*

Justin

"How much did she pay you?"

Monkey

"Hey! That's wat i was gonna say!!!"

Everyone laughs.

-_-"

stuvac = high bandwidth usage.

that is all.

the day that i really needed a break.

and was anticipating andydandy to bring over his xbox so we could play tetris and bomberman.. he doesn't show up.

sick apparently.

=(

a lot of he usuals were missing tonight actually.

and lol, justin gets here early. only to have to leave and come back again. which in effect, means he was late. as usual.

i forgot to mention.

in the ads before the movie last night.

there was an ad for Yalumba.

WHY OH WHY IS AVL HAUNTING ME?

or more precisely, 3b?

and we're likely to VISIT TEMPUS TWO in HV... and McGuigan is there too.

why do i even remember this stuff??

i want slipper socks just like these ones: style and colour ^^

i had a really good night and end to the week with the usual crowd. now, i feel like i should study. and i think i want to study.

we went to bondi for movies and dinner. pad thai was really really really good!!! better than the one i had at star city. for sure.

and terminator salvation was alrite. bit heavy on the sound effects but alrite movie. not as good as star trek. and saw a second transformers trailer. looks very good to me. =D

v-max cinemas. bigger screen. comfier seats. that was about it. pretty packed cinema.

and mayo took steph and me home (to the disappointment of andrew... and janice but she was sort of er.. obliged to go with michael anyway. ROFL). awesome rx8. had to tell him to stop speeding since it was double demerits. he was lucky too, cause was about to take on some ass in a mazda 3 (hahaha) and around the corner there was a cop car. lol.

it's funny how things can change in a matter of days. all of a sudden, the shop's hired one new person and looking to hire a second. which makes me senior! sort of. since i'm not one of the counter staff. im in the office. above. lol =D =D

i WAS going to take the two rascals out for a walk.

but it just so happens that baby decided to chew through hers and big brother's collars. so no walk. not until i either find the spare (that i have misplaced somewhere) or buy a new one. im not impressed.

neither is scout.

and she was crying about it. tsk tsk. its ur own fault.

and it rained. seems to be the way these days.

i went to the salvos store this morning before uni. picked up a couple more platters for my party. and a pretty black and pink lace clutch for $5.

the store is good for homewares and other goods but for clothes and softgoods which is a bit disappointing. but that reminds me that we have yet to check out the one in summer hill. maybe that'll be for clothes and salvos store can be for other goods.

went to see tutor during consult about our assignment. she gave us a v unconvincing explanation. but she's the marker. we're the student. what can u do? it was funny when valerie came charging in to grab her tute stuff. she was like

*doubletake*

'oh hi... i might come out later'

*rushes off*

i feel like we got to discuss a lot today. made some progress. made some new plans. updated some existing ones.

i need to accept that there are many things out of my conrol. and just.. let it be. its just that control is part of my type a behaviour-ness.

wishlist updated here >>>>>>>>>>>>

in order of wanting...

Planet Cake by Paris Cutler $45.00
(think of all the future benefits...)

Return to Tiffany Heart tag toggle bracelet $480 OR,
Return to Tiffany Heart tag charm on bracelet $350
(because i want to be a sheep too... price / design and practicality ["not falling off"] /design suggests the latter...)

A really pretty ~200 sleeve square (not rectangular) Photo Album to show off my baking
(it doesn't have to be as elaborate as the one below. anything that's pretty and will last will do)

Urban Originals Bag "Empire view" in 'Navy Flower' or "Black Wallflower' $60.00
Tan or Black clutch with long shoulder strap like the one below
(can't ever have enough accessories...)

All-in-one Cupcake Carrier
(need i say more...?)

Bean bag (w/ beans of course..)
(because i always wanted one...)

Wooden Hat Stand (preferably just like the one below in pink)
(it may be a whim.. so it's not high on the list.. there are other ways to hang scarves, brellys and bags and coats...)

miscellaneous easy-too-find fillers:

~ stockings like the italian print ones at tarjay

~ maybe a pair of sock slippers

~ i wouldn't mind a scarf or beanie/ beret and a pair of gloves for that matter

i think i fixed my ipod shuffle!! AWESOME!!

and i went on a bit of a cleaning craze after taking nessie and scout on their walk. i full cleaned the balcony area. lol. nessie was like wtf. why r u wetting my lounging area. hahahahaha.

MONDAYS ARE THE ONLY DAYS I GET TO SLEEP IN - WHEN I DONT FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE GYM. TODAY WAS ONE OF THEM.

THE ONLY DAY

I DIDN'T GET TO SLEEP IN BECAUSE I HAVE A EGGING SISTER WHO IS STUPID. in a nutshell.

messages me just before 9 am saying that she left her assignment at home - AGAIN. so i was supposed to just get up and drop it to her?!?! AND I ACTUALLY GOT UP, FREEZING MY ASS OFF AND WAS GOING TO DROP IT OFF.

just as i leave the house, she messages and goes:

"it's ok. i have it with me. thanks anyway."

YEAH I WAS PISSED OFF. =(

to compensate, i pretty much did nothing for the rest of the day. since i havent done that in awhile, it felt pretty good. i did write a few paragraphs for my assignment. but nothing majorly productive.

except watch kristen drop her mtv award. and an anticlimax to the awesome best kiss acceptance. oh rob... LOL.

apart from that, basked in my room with my heater being very resource wasteful. shrugs. one of those days.
