fuchsia fragments

so we got to park underneath westfield. concierge valet parking. the guy was soooo hot and he had a french accent. i was like... you can drive my car anytime you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeekkkk!!!!

got there perfect timing and even had time to go by max brenner for some chocolate loving :-)

reception was nice and simple and we made a lot of noise (hahaha much to the embarassment of the parents).

good times.

didn't get the bouquet... lol. i guess there are just always people who are more desperate than you... hahaha

and the sun came out at the right time.

it was a long ceremony and i have to admit, not the best one i've been to.

happy for them though :)

can't wait for reception tonight!

Hunter Valley Road Trip!!!


Fun fun fun!

we got up mightly early (ok, same as a work day..) and we all met at 3rd aunts. was going to be 4 cars but decided with three full cars instead - 15 passengers, one handicapped car (guess who's - JC) with a semi-flat tyre, thankfully no probs at all in the end!

agreement was the stop at the maccas. and i got to lead. (okay, i led most of the day ^^)

ended up being a competition for biggest ass of the day. and there were some big contenders!

Nomination #1
Myself - cut to the right lane as lead driver with about 200 m to the left turn near Pymble with a massive bus in front of me. Almost lost one of the following cars in the process. Lucky for me, justin (last car) works in the area and knew the roads. phew!

Nomination #2
Coz 'Silly' Samuel - Overtook me with 1 km to go to maccas (he had all this time to on the freeway but had to be then!!!) and missed the exit so he didn't stop until cessnock. everyone in my car and justins laughed their asses off!!!!!!

Nomination #3
My dad - we drove up some very very scenic unsealed roads to a lookout. since the weather was quite wet, the ground was quite muddy and he stepped right into this massive clay-mud puddle and got grass and mud all over his shoes. we had to open all the boots to see what emergency supplies (water, wipes, newspapers, plastic bags) we could use to help him get it off. hahahahahaha

Nomination #4
Justii - guess it was inevitable. as the last car, he would have had an itch to get to the front. despite knowing it was double points and seeing highway patrol, there was a stage where he revved it up, clocking ~140 to get to the front of the pack. tsk tsk tsk dangerous!

anyway, we had heaps of fun despite a bit of rain. the scenery was delightful. we did the touristy stuff like gelato at tt, rosemount and lindemans (home of the O!) and brokenwood. a short stop at the village to sample the liquer and chocolate shops before home and dinner at the local chinese.

have to say i think lunch was the best (not of course, because i booked it but even dad and aunty said it was really good). nice and different. pot pies, damper and great pasta. :) and perfect timing because that was when it rained the hardest! and kangaroos across the road. nice nice nice!!!

drove back via the harbour bridge and everyone came to our place for coffee (hehehe gets to use my machine again!) before heading to dinner.

thoroughly enjoyed myself, enjoyed leading and driving up. want to do it again

nitenite :)

I went to the gym this morning *does a little dance*

broke the no-gym/lazy drought finally!!!

anyway, i think it was because i didn't actually sleep that well last night. not sure why.

i even managed to catch the express so i was the first to get to work on my pod at about 10 past. which goes to show that everyone else comes in just before 8:30. i am so sick of the BS that goes around. oh this person gets here way before 8 and they are never late, yadda yadda. bull-fking-sht!

plus i think it is so unfair that the "manager" can always take monday sickies but when someone is legitimately sick, they get so much slack for it that it (sometimes) isn't even worth the day off.

:-(

i dislike controlling people. some prime examples of that today. hah. sorry but i no longer report to you and ops and finance are TWO. SEPARATE. DIVISIONS.

Thank goodness i am compatible with my mumma, dadda and sissy!!! :-)

GOOOOOOO DRAGONS

it is soooooo comfy that i have been on it pretty much this whole weekend and wheeling around my room.

wheeeeeeeeee :) :) :) :)

heaps more europe stuff planned.

looking good altho i did have a mini cry about it today... 'why doesn't anyone else help me!!!'

and as more time goes on, i increasing don't want to be at work. :(

did i mention i hate him?

why does he get to go out and get coffee whenever he wants, always takes personal calls and txt on his phone all day long. WHO the HELL do you think you ARE!!!???

whoops! where have i been.

being back at work is sooo depressing. :(

planning europe and trying to sort everything out is so stressful! rail passes, tickets, flights, accommodation, money, francs, timetable... eeeeek!!!

literally slept for 24 hours, 4 carbon tablets and 1 vial of po chai later...

at least i don't have the urge to vomit anymore whether it is food or water or nothing. yuck.

now i have that feeling of floating from lying in bed so long...

but not going to waste the last day of my holidays, at least going to try not to. i am glad summer finally decided to arrive also!

How completely appropriate that I am vomiting on new years day. And no I am not hung over Fuck u QANTAS for giving me food poisoning, I knew you couldn't be trusted! So spent all day in bed and on the toilet seat. But here's to a great new year!!!
