(Idina Menzel - Wicked Soundtrack - As Long As You're Mine)
So many subtle changes happen in life that are gone and forgotten. One change that I dislike is computer problems, upgrades, glitches etc. It just takes too long to update and reinstall everything and to get your settings to what they were before. Its a little like being resistant to change.
Its been a pretty rough and tumble week for me. Things happening at work and outside of work.
Most of it, you can get over (or, just smile and move on) but some takes a little longer and leave a bad feeling in your mouth... i'm so grateful for the allies/ friends i've made at work - within my own team and outside of it too. And its so comforting when more than one person says that they will support and stick up for me =D
And those who are thankful for when i help them make it that much more pleasant. Because there are quite a few pricks there who take everything i do for granted.
what pissed me off most was when my TL said
"i'm not getting involved in this"
when i said to one of them to do their own work (that I WAS NOT supposed to do). i mean, just cause u were off sick for two days doesn't mean i'm the one who has to do ur work for you. there arent any concessions - it doesn't work that way and we have processes there for a reason!!! do it urself and come to me when its ready for me to do my part!
i spent a lot of time on the phone to one of my clients this week as well as actioning over 100 of his emails. lol. he can be so funny and frustration at the same time.
my team hosted morning tea on friday as well. it was awesome because:
~ i made brownies
~ we got the right amount of food
~ we got nice food
~ there were little boys (those lil cocktail sausages that people have some weird fascination with there)
~ we made this awesome spinach, sour cream and soup mix dip
~ myself and colleague did the shopping! =D
in between catering and preparing for that, i was trying to locate a missing vehicle thats been lost for 3 months O_O
another thing that worried me a bit through the weekend was my grandma. she was in emergency for 6 hours on tuesday. =( constipation and remnants of her virus from earlier. but shes ok and on some pretty strong drugs for a month or so.
had dinner last night at the local German restaurant. Schnitzel. talked heaps. tarjay. politics. work. plans. future. road trip. paintball. chu almost killed me cause one of the poles on the gate to janices apartment broke off and slammed into me O_O i didnt even know wat hit me until like 3 seconds later... lol.
and today, we had lunch at grandmas place today - havent done that in so long with justin and aunts and uncles. grandma was so happy she ate as well =D =D
and justin and i went to visit the new franchise Paparotti on Railway Pde in Kogarah that a few of justins old HS friends opened about 3 weeks ago. Place looks good. Gave them some free marketing tips (LOL!) as well as some ideas of what i wouldve done if it was my cafe/ shop. tried their buns and coffee and bought another 10 back for the family. hahaha.
Good luck to them - their location is a little bit of a worry but we'll just see how it all goes. PapaRotti is apparently really famous in Malaysia for their coffee flavoured buns. If you're ever around, tell me to take you there one day ;)
So much planning to do. HV. Port Stephens. Birthday (?). WSS (?). Long weekend. Paintball. Port Stephens/ Road Trip. STUDYING.

musashi was bitterly disappointing save for their virgin mojito.
the food was so slow to come out we had to hurry them up. and it wasn't as good as its raved to be.
and definetely not the same as a few years back.
what was funny was that we left without signing the credit card.
hahaha.
green and blue cosmotails (cocktails in a martini glass.. u follow?) that light up!! awesome!!
seats weren't that bad.
and it was quite a funny musical. i don't think it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good that it deserves to be raved on and on about. but it definitely deserves a lot of credit.
ga-linda was so funny. the high pitched, princessy character =D

masterchef filmed in a QANTAS A380 night.

spent most of my saturday at my grandmas. she's better physically but its taken quite the mental toll on her..
i have this memory instilled in my mind now. its of my 4th uncle and auntie chopping sugarcane and my grandma (in all her sickness/ disorientation) is yelling at them cause they're not doing it right. so she gets hands on and she sits next to them on these little stools at theyre side by side doing it together. =)
played with brian. he squeals heaps. and he loves running into things.
then night falls and the big question is do we go out or so we stay in?
in
out
in
out
we stayed in (BEST DECISION EVER!)
did some baking to keep myself up. girls started coming around midnight.
i dont know why val came when all she did was raid my fridge and sleep in my freshly changed bedsheets.
DNA bought over her homies - a family friend by the name of leeeeesa (lisa) and anita who really wanted a brownie.
girls get up to no good in the middle of the night.
we also did a maccas run. a pretty fail one. cause the rockdale one was closed despite it being a 24 hours drive through.
so we had to go to sansouci.
we only got 2 apple pies when we wanted 3.
there was no sundae.
and no, he couldnt offer us chocolate fudge sauce.
and i didnt get my soccer mug even though i specifically asked for one.
LIES!!!
the game was a shocker. like... annihilation. but totally not unexpected.
jan and val left before the game was even over. hahaha.
donna and anita overstayed their hospitality =P jks.
mild case of food poisoning. im guessing it was the less than ordinary maccas in the middle of the night.
i need to fix my stupid computer which means it probably needs to get brainwashed. not happy.
pictures to follow.

Another cold day. but so fantastic.. at least the end of the day was.
Friday night drinks with colleagues at the est across the road. $5 vodkas!!! checking out guys to the max. and no, no potentials there. so had 3 drinks.
and so by the time i checked my phone messages, i had 13 missed calls and 3 new text messages. uhm.. oops?
met up with janice at town hall and we were late.. but we weren't that late to crinitis where mayo and his gf were already seated. hahaha the boys were even later so no, i claim i was right on time.
we had so much fun at dinner. two pizzas - one 0.5 metres and the another a whopping 1 whole metre. shots all around, beer and two bottles of white chosen by yours truly. and yes, it was awesome. everyone said so.
talked about.. everything. the last road trip. the next road trip. sport. work. bitching. gossip. it was literally like a bunch of mates catching up after years of not seeing each other. was so different, cause i guess we've never been like that before. but i guess now that we've all got full time jobs/ getting serious about certain aspects in life, things get different.
and better.
we went laser skirmish at harbourside. hahahahaha you will never believe. myself and janice came first and second respectively in our team (the 7 of us were playing against 3 other teams). our team as a whole got our asses kicked but so much fun. we were like running into each other and being soooo stupid. =D =D =D
since it was still "early", we headed to cockle bay wharf for some coffee/ drinks. non-alcoholic of course. lindt cafe here we come... sat there for what must have been over an hour or two and just talking again. yeah, it just didn't stop.
we walked past the soccer set up at darling harbour. it was packed! and it was freezing! and it wasn't even a socceroos game!!! good luck to people on Monday. Police were out full force but most people were just high on life.
I think we called and end the the night 12.. 12:30ish. car was parked at the entertainment centre. and.......
gools decided that he needed to pee. so he did. in the car park. behind a pillar....................
lol?
and since chu is an old man, he didn't drink so he drove gools' car and dropped us all off. =)
good times. i had $150 bucks in my wallet yesterday and i have 2 fives left. i don't even know where all my money went.....
and we were discussing this at work today. everyone (at least, those who can be trusted with cash. one of my colleague gets an "allowance" from her hubby weekly LOL!), has a budget of approx. $100 per week. so much for that. i blew one and a half weeks on one night!!!
but i've been very good with my credit card this month. only got about $500 to pay off.
and hi anna banana. had no idea you'd come back to this joint. which makes me wonder, do certain others? ;)
