fuchsia fragments

three things i learnt today:
1. whilst shopping, purchasing the first item actually triggers a mental note to browse other shops (that you may not consider browsing) and finding other [potential] purchases
2. don't shop when its raining; due to cancelled athletics carnival and parents with prams, its pretty much a nightmare
3. the harder you look for something, the more likely you won't find it.

short lecture followed by a pointless tutorial. i stayed nonetheless.
went for a walk from marketcity to pitt st and back again. i bought a pretty top and three rings cause they were cheap. hahaha (wat a waste of money says her consciousness). theyre like space fillers for my new jewellery box.
we hotpotted tonight cause it was so cold. tofu's actually pretty good and versatile stuff. (random i know).
anyhow, the reason why i had so much time to waste in the city was cause i had to meet mum after she finished work and i skipped fins. anyhow, we confirmed the details for our lil japan tour. =)
and if it weren't for my brilliant brainwork, they'd never get anywhere. im
referring to my parents.

so here's my (our) plan:
>>saturday 30th june
sydney to brissy
brissy to cairns {maybe a one night stop to visit ppl}
cairns to osako

it should be all interconnected if all goes well and if we decide not to stop for a night.
their original plan was. sydney to tokyo with either an interconnection itm flight to osako or other transport to osako with a one night stopover in tokyo/narita. im sure u can tel i love flying. haha syd to cairns straight up wouldve been better i suppose but this ones the best bet.

they made me eat pizza for dinner during our break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and my stroller wall is soooo b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l as it shoudl be cause i cut three fingers working on it. assembled heaps and heaps of strollers and prams. its kinda fun =D v satisfying to see the end result.

and so the refit claims its first victim..
went home during my break. it actually makes time pass by slower.. cause i got to go home for half an hour and then went back for another half hour and it almost seems like 2 one hours instead. if that makes sense O_o

i had (thank goodness its all over) very ungrateful team members. they were still bitching and moaning when it was all handed in. even when i included all the references. an appendix. wrote the whole thing by myself. added their conclusion and therefore had to cut back on more words in the body of the report. and still they were like oh but it couldve been better (um yeah.. i dont see u doing any extra work to make it 'better') and shit like tat.
ive now been to the gym at all times of day.. early morning, morning, noon, afternoon and evening. and there are different sort of ppl there. early morning are the ppl who have work, morning is the mums with bubs and kids, noon and afternoon and the bodybuilders and guys who work out and evening is all the ppl who come after work. so intersting.. the atmosphere just feels really different when u go at a different time. anyhow enough about that. badminton was on (even after a communication breakdown). carl managed to hit valval behind her neck when they were on the SAME side (LOL).
they were saying at work how apparently in s'goods there are gonna be three new people. and we were just discussing whether this is actually necesssary. and we think definetely a 'NO'. as it is (bar the refit) we're each gettering approx three 4-hour shifts a week. and that's ok. but with three new ppl, even if they each started with one shift, we'd have to give up one of ours. not cool. the only times when we do need an extra person is when one of us are unavailable.. so it woudlve been better if we got like one extra person.. well kids def dont need an extra person especially when laura starts doing sats again. ladies and mens maybe. we'll see wat happens. its not a big issue.. im gonna cut back next sem. found a better place =)
oh and i went shopping with mummy yesterday arvo and i managed to buy something. so it really just depends on the mood when u shop. no motivatin on my own.. no target, no aim. but with mum (and i offered to pay for it but she was like no its) cause i was sort of accompanying her as well made it all different. and i realise i need a new pair of shoes for work. there are holes in mine and a huge break in the sole. ahahhahaha
