fuchsia fragments

finally got my ass up and went to the gym... and so much has changed. everythings been moved around and theres heaps of new equipment!
5 hour afternoons seem so much longer than 5 hour mornings.
bumped into mandy and sam at the library while rushing to macro
my acct tutor like to pick on ppl.. she seems ok so far.. english at times hard to understand though.
my phone bill went over $100 for the first time ever.

sarah was trying on my yukata (kimono) last night. hahahahaha we were like looking at the pictures showing you how to tie to obi and we were like.. so how do u make the bow? why is the material so long? so funny.. took ages and couldnt get it properly right.. rightly proper? but so pretty

i can no longer do a 4 hour shift without complaining that im bored and that im bored and well that i can't b bothtered. 4 hours is suck a loonng time. hahaha

i feel like i need to get my life back on track so to speak.. but from what??

like a whirlwind week at uni.. some more things happened today. i bumped into quite a few ppl, ex school ppl and work ppl and uni ppl from last semester. and haha, yeah OMB is initially so hard to navigate. trust the old physics building to be built on a slope.
got my textbooks and i had to lug them all the freakin way home cause dad couldnt pick me up. and i was like so tired cause im still so sick. so i was asking myself 'why did i buy these today again?' at least i have them now

i had four managers watching me like hawks in the lunchroom this evening.. i was on the floor and i suddenly felt really dizzy and lightheaded so i headed towards the lunchroom and by that time i literally could not see a thiing. i kept blinking and breathing but all i saw was black. marwah was calling my name and i was like.. yeah i can hear u and i know where ur standing but i cant see you. and shes like to the others, she went white like a sheet. anyway, so i could see after awhile and edys like can u stand? and im like.. yeah im quite sure i can. and so i had to prove it to him. hahaha and daniels like go sit in the first aid room but im taking that ball away.. and im like.. awww... and hes like.. ok fine u can have it. hahahaha i love them. oh yeah and while i was sitting they were trying to move this really heavy cabinet table out of the room hahahaa and they couldnt fit it through the door so marwahs there laughing and the other three are trying to turn the thing sideways and manoveur it out without losing their fingers in the process. oh and they were like u can go home. =D

i was actually really sick over the weekend.. like i was really dizzy and my head really hurt and all my muscles were sore. and so my parents thought they were such great doctors and were like 'yeah, it serves u right for not wearing enough clothes, etc etc'. pfffft i dont think so
anyhow, it meant i couldnt go to work haha yay =)
oh and all this hp fever.. i dont feel it... yet

it was uh, kind of, to put it nicely, rather quiet.
like, i was trying really hard and looking for customers and asking if they needed assistance as opposed to them all coming up to me. at least i managed to sell a fair amount of stuff =)
like from 9 -10 we had .. 6 customers maybe? it was pretty quiet through out anyway.
but today.. dad and i went to three difference aquariums to buy more fishies!!! =D oh this was after i went to check my tank and see that another one of my tiger barbs were MIA. ie, eaten by the stupid big fish!!! he's literally eating all my money up!
anyhow, we got
2 new angelfish
6 neon tetras
4 mountain clouds
4 red glow lamps
4 tiger barbs
2 albino barbs
2 algae eating suckermouths
2 potter plants =D =D =D
i would LOVE a couple of discus fish (red, blue or yellow) to complete my aquarium but theyre so expensive.. and the ones they sell are a little big.. id rather raise them to be big myself rather than buy them fully grown. so will keep searching.

i spent all of my morning taking apart our cannister filter because i thought one of my poor lil fish that i bought yesterday got stuck in it.. all in vain. i was watching them this morning.. and i was like.. wtf?? there's onl 5 of the little fellas. where's the 6th?!?! so i thought, he mustve been sucked up.. so here i am taking apart the filter, water everywhere and making a fine old mess of the living room to no avail. no fish, no corpse, ziltch. =( =( =( he's just disappeared!!! im very unhappy and upset about it. dad's like.. yeah the big fish mustve ate it. noooo!!
anyhow, it was my first day back at work.. and hahaha i come back for the night before toy sale. so all the usual suspects are crazyly spling and stuff. a little overwhelming with the changed layout and everything buts its looking good. haha its amazing wat u hear after a rather long absence. even if its not all true. i think i am however, truly ready to cut back from target now, i no longer want loads of hours so it's all theirs.

i received a rather unexpected piece of mail in the post today all the way from the US. so it could only be one person. i got the 'gift of nothing' =)
thanks so much dude; it made me smile if nothing else. haha very clever

i bought 2 yellow corydoras and 6 little orange/black striped shark-tail fins. =)
oh and i got tranformers on my comp so im gonna rewatch it =D

i would say it was probably the best movie ive watched this year to date. =D =D so the ending was a little bit cheesy but the effects and the action was fantastic. ok, u can tell im a tranformers fan. =)
we had lunch at cafe cya, i got my photos developed, valerie bought boots and donna got needles.
oh and its not that important since they both forgot, its also my birthday today. hahaha

we went out for dinner to celebrate our grandma's 89th (i think) birthday in hurstville. and sarah and i were like.. where's the cake? (cause we both didnt have time and have been dubbed the 'official cake makers' HAHA). so we went to bakery king and bought two (not that nice) strawberry mousse cakes and a coconut tart for grandma (cause she doesnt eat cake). yay
and lols, and some of them were like keep the 'happy birthday' sign and then they were like who's birthday is it next and its mine. so justin remarks 'we're cheap chinese ppl so just reuse the candles and cake!' and they actually did. HAHAHA as in they put the stuff back on the cake and put it in front of me and took a photo. HAHAHAHAHA tat was so funny.
the food wasnt great .. one of our dishes was still raw and a lot of the things we wanted to order was 'sold out'. it was only 7:30!! not impressed.

in two days we covered so many kilometrs.. from tokyo bullet-train to new-osaka, express train to kansai airport, 9 hour flight to brisbane and finally on a plane back home. talk about a long journey. and it was a freezing six degress in brissy.
anyhow, at least we managed to beat the storms and typoons. we came close though. and im actually really glad to be home =)

we're going back to osaka in hopes we'll be able to make it on a flight (any flight) back to australia.

konbanwa from tokyo! (where [hopefully] it will be our last night!)
osaka is much more refreshing and inclined to our kind of city. tokyo has way too many ppl living a very fast lifestyle.
anyhow, how you all enjoyed Harry potter. u went without me!! and should see u all soon. last min shopping-ing.
love u all =)
any last requests?

monkey bought a kimono today and she was trying it on. more like this guy put it on her with the sash and everything and HAHAHAHA she was loving every minute of it. enough said. although the guy was kind of ok looking. too short though =P

since im not on my computer, ive realised that my widgets arent in line.. again. so its cause of the widescreenness or lack thereof if u see weird uneven spaces on my blog. i shall try to rectify it when i return =)
anyhow, its kinda hot here as expected. quite a few showers which are really refreshing and all the food glorious food (so says everyone but me).
our flight was pretty crap. jetstar had a full load. quite a few interesting things highlighted the smallness of our world though:
- john paul college students were on our plane for an exchange program and the second day when we went to one of the attractions, we bumped into this guy who was on the plane and had a broken arm.
- we met up with our tour ppl today and dad recognised this other person who use to live with him 20 years or so ago in tuen mun, hk
- and guess who else was in our tour??? ex jolly-girl on st george. we were like.. omg wat r YOU doing here in japan? hahaha really cool anyhow, so michelline's with us for the tour too. cool eh? =D
