fuchsia fragments

weather turned out hot and we wished we'd gone to the beach sometime in between. but we didn't. just had lunch and walked around.

we were supposed to have coffee. but we couldn't digest it. so we had water instead. lol.

spent most of my money on food. -_-

went to sticky. got these packets of rock candies for hk.

walking around shopping centres is tiring.

tomorrow is yum cha and k and partay. =D

2 more days in oz. =(

so today we decided to go and crash chu's place. hahahaha that was totally random and but at least it didn't turn out awkward.

had pizza and watched a movie.

oh and work was mad today. all the casuals were working mega 8-5:30 shift. whoot. and i was asked if i wanted to work tomorrow.

i said no!!!

=D =D

and it felt good to say no. hehehe no more work for a month.

apart from the fact that she was pretty disorganised and this was absolutely, totally last minute - as in - this morning at work:

"hey, do u wanna come over and have a bbq at my place tonight? We can go shopping during my lunch break."

it was really good fun. =D

LOL

small group. cozy i suppose. we had 7 people at one stage. hahaha.

so i pretty much cooked all afternoon.
potato salad.
pasta salad which was the bomb.
fruit flan which was like - normal for me - amazing for them. i don't think they realise the extent of my baking skills... yet. hahahaha.

it was really good that steph and clads came. clads in her crutches. hope she can get off them for her trip down to callala beach. (wish i could go too...)

and it took us so long to get the fire started. so the boys just dumped like half a packet of the white fuel thingys - easy lites - and the whole thing practically burst into flames. LOL. got the whole apartment block smokey.

they called it

"payback at the neighbours"

so i think next time, i want the bbq to be at my place. =D altho that might not happen until my birthday. but thats okay. cause there are so many birthdays, 21st especially, until then. :)

tomorrow is my last shift. i am SO happy about it.

The Booze Tub

christmas day was like quiet family day.

bbq. with expensive waggyu meat.

and boxing day was hectic work.

and bbq, oh the bbq!!!

hahahahahahaha

we all got sooooo trashed. like throwing up trashed.
that's what happens when u have a tumbler of cosmos. like 3 cosmos in one go. and half the cocktail was vodka.
and claudia ended up in hospital: because she was wrestling.
and we trashed steph's lawn.
and - LOL - "christened" her bed
and one of the boys threw up in a neighbour's lawn
and we had clothes taken off...

i think i'll leave it at that for now.

we were

busy
busy
busy
busy
UBER MEGA BUSY

i think all of us were a mob of walking zombies today. half the things people said to me didn't really register in my head until like 2 minutes later. lols.

our store technically closed at 5:30 but most of us were rostered on till 6. - something that we learnt from previous years. no matter how many times u tell customers that the store is closed, announcements and PAs - somepoeple just refuse to leave. its shocking. i think we got the last of our customers out by 10 to 6. like... egging go home u losers.

gearing up for a as yet uncertain what will happen (event wise) christmas day!

whoo!

i had a good day until work.

went to the gym. and then went to get some ingredients with my friend. truffles!!! then went to her place and helped her with the stuff cause she couldnt manage by herself. lol. and skim read the 4th book of the severwaters trilogy that i had no idea existed until i went over. jan has all these books that i want to read!! but im now too old for... i was like.. omg.. its like u have a library of books made for me.

went to cafe at bevo for lunch. had nachos that really really made me full for the rest of the afternoon.

the dark chocolate ginger truffles turned out really well. the white ones hadn't set properly yet so we couldnt roll them.

then went to my place cause my sister was working too. so we all rocked up to work together. and i was told how "cute" my sister and i were. HAHAHAHAHA cause apparently some people still didn't know we were siblings. LOL

and then my sis' manager calls her and jan up. and gives my sister a lecture about the weekend. and it was like

WTF
WTF
WTF

she was BY HERSELF. and apparently a "manager" (we ALL know it was fucktard sm) said she was

"mucking around"

just because she couldnt operate registers cause she was like full on tripping over clothes and running around taking calls, he fucking makes shit up. and jan was like

she was by herself. the place was picked up and clean on sunday morning!!

so jan told me and i got really pissed. which made three of us. and i told some others and we all decided that we had a fucking retarded sm.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

and then jan got pissed off at this other girl in ladies cause she does jackshit. hahaha jan pissed is so funny. but yeah, i think we all had good reason to be pissed.

and running on very little sleep.

saturday:
worked 8-1. almost died.
came home. got stuck into cooking.

my turkey and ham were awesome. homemade turkey stuffing was realllllllllllly good. =D and ham was yummy cause it was nut-encrusted. and ham and honey just go so well together.

and i had to make the spring rolls. and all this other general shit.

we had dinner at around 7:30... and we drank. like took out the vodka and the whiskey and the gin. and we were mixing our own drinks.

THE MONKEY GOT SMASHED ON LIKE A NIP OF VODKA
ROFL
ROFL
ROFL
HER FACE WAS FULLY FULLY RED

and my parents were like. wtf. and i got blamed eventhough I DIDNT do anything. she was the one who was like

"screwdriver me"
"screwdriver me"
"screwdriver me"

and then after dinner we went upstairs to play lips.

sort of like karaoke i guess. it was mad. =D =D

i feel like singing more at karaoke now. hahahaha.

and had dessert:
Coconut Pies
Homemade Passionfruit and Coconut Gelato
Lemon Meringue Cheesecake
Christmas Carrot Cupcakes

all made by yours truly of course. =) they left pretty early. i think we were all a little tired... and drunk. LOLs

and today... today was like THE randomest (but really fun and impromptu) day.

worked 8-1. im pretty sure i was half asleep until about 10.

got the usual stuff done. then we had to go and hunt for our stock. and when i say hunt, i mean, it was a challenge.

our nursery pallet of nappies were downstairs. (problem 1) there were no cages (problem 2). there was all this stuff in front of our pallet (problem 3) we had to climb over (no joke) a mountain of rubbish that stunk to get to the nappies (problem 4). so me and my manager were carry the boxes to the lift. it took us egging ages to get all the boxes into the lift. then we had to get a trolley and jack to get the boxes out. and it just so happens that customers really like to block our pathway when we need to get stuff out.

haha it was fun. and when i was on my break at reception, talking to my manager. and she needed to call my sister into work. and shes like

'i dont want to wake her up again. i feel bad.'

and im like

'well, ur gonna wake her up either way - just do it.'

hahahaha. and she put the phone on speaker. and my sisters like half dead

*raspy voice* 'hello?... wat? u want me to work 1-6?'

and my and my manager just CRACKED UP. we lost it. -_-" HAHAHA we didnt even have to ask. she knew wat it was all about. smart cookie *wink*

and after work. we had like a target crew gathering outside the store. LOL. and then 6 of us went yum cha. that was fun. hahahaha they were eating intestines and chicken feet. and then we randomly walked to the oval to watch one of the boys play cricket. and we sat on the grass until the end of the game. they won.

totally randomness.

and im apparently a bunch of us are going to watch the boys play soccer tonight.

lol
lol
lol

yay.

and i came home and i was supposed to "lie down" for a bit. i ended up sleeping. =D =D =D

hurrah to late nights and doing nothing for the last hour.

gearing up for no sleep, tiredness and fun fun fun.

another big weekend.

=D

Nads: i dont have ur number on my new phone.
Me: Does that mean ur not my frend?

and randomly, one of our managers just cracks up.

Manager: LOL. That's a good one.

=D

HAHAHAHAHA STEPH IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY. -_-

i might be a bit high from uh.. dehydration and standing in front of my oven all day.

Just to let you all know due to the controversial nature of the place known as Target, and some stupid losers decision to open Target H'ville Boxing Day we have decided to make it later to make it fair for the SUCKERS that have to work that day. So we decided 3pm.
Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time

i would classify it Romantic Comedy.

HAHAHAHAHA. i think i actually laughed at a lot of the parts where i shouldnt have been laughing. like the kiss. and edward's pain. and jaspers emotions.

that was just ROFL in the beginning.

"awkward"

it wasn't as disappointing as i had geared myself up for. which is a good thing.. cause i wasn't expecting much. and it wasn't AS bad as some people have said. i think 2 stars is about right.

favourite scenes:
1. edward and bella arrive at school together and everyone looks on. love edwards smugness. mwahahahhaha. classic.
2. baseball scene... emmett and jasper mega awesomeness.
3. kitchen scene. that was rather imo. =D
4. cafeteria where the family first walk in and bella doesnt know who they are.

slightly surprised that the rest of the cullens actually did not have such a big role. i was expecting a bit more from them... and yes, i know its focused on bella/edward and they have a time limit. but it really stunts the character growth.

and uber mega ROFL at taylor. there is a reason why he is being axed.

family meeting when i got home. where to go, where to go.

Taiwan
Osaka
Beijing
Kagoshima
Okinawa
HK (default)
Singapore
Hawaii.

choices choices.

at work tonight, there was this new girl. her name was angelia. and she for some reason just made me look twice. so i asked my sister about it. and shes like.. yeah. sounds like one of the chocolate vagina sisters. i think it is. but im not 100% certain.

then im readin the yearbook for 2008. im up to the year 9 report.

QUOTE in questions for yr 9s

"Edward Cullen or Jay Chou?"

Year 8s

"If you coud be anyone for a day, who would you be?
A: Bella Swan/Cullen - do you need a reason?

Year 7s

"If you had to choose one famous person to be, who would it be?
A: Bella Cullen

O_o

like.. you CANNOT be serious. BELLA/EDWARD CULLEN MADE THE STGGHS YEARBOOK?!

I GOT MY FULL LICENCE
I GOT MY FULL LICENCE
I GOT MY FULL LICENCE
I GOT MY FULL LICENCE
I GOT MY FULL LICENCE

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

i can have one drink!

LOL

and three hour shifts r so shit... oh wells.

i slept through the afternoon. =D

and i just had the most disgusting piece of chocolate mud cake from michels. i felt like throwing it up...

carols by candlelight gets worse every year. which is really disappointing. the fireworks were like.. two flares. we were waiting for the rest.

my sister had her chair all facing her window. good views and stuff.

and its like

waiting..
waiting...
waiting....

thats it?!?

-_-"

turned out to be pretty good eventhough the place was a little bit small. and they weren't serving doubles and shots after 10 (which, according to nadia was absolute bullshit) we had a lot of people there which was great. even the part-timers and underage register kiddos. hahaha. and everyone was mingling. and it was actually quite outrageous some of the things that happened...

like...

it seemed as though some people had never had alcohol in their life before?

ROFL
ROFL
ROFL

the place closed at 12. so we headed out to the cross for some more fun. but some people who were supposed to meet us there dogged us. =( =( =(

went to favela. danced for a bit. sat for a bit. had another drink or two. stopped by maccas for steph on the way home. walked up and down the street trying to look for a cab.

didn't get home till 4:30... at least i think it was 4:30-5. got like 3-4 hours sleep. but i feel so alive today. HAHAHAHA. i don't know why. i was fine at work too.

YAYness.

small group. loads of fun.

it was a bit of a pre-christmas get-together for a few of us.. the ones who wanted to have dinner despite the sour weather.

drove. so i didn't drink. don't think i missed out on too much.

hahaha. food was slow, service shit.

and i went shopping this arvo... two centres. bought nothing. tried on about 6 tops. all fit wrong.. or just didnt fit. AHAHAHA. or came in the wrong colour. i think i'll stick with ebay. or wait till we go overseas.

sister went to watch twilight today. it didnt even get (from her) 2.5 stars. it got nothing. and she was one of those people who kept yelling for the teeny boppers to "shut up" and "they can't act" etc etc.

ROFL
ROFL

m pain.

work.

gazillion customers.

by 8, the front paths were so crowded you had to push your way through.

i was on the registers until 9.

fun? no.

i got to hold mon's 4 month old though. hes so cute. and he only smiled at me.
=D =D =D

i had sooo much fun today. despite having to get up early. it was definetely worth it. oh and saw wong was there too. that was like totally random. i had no idea she was an ambassador.

FUN
FUN
FUN

so this is like my nth Aspire day. and i felt like a total oldie there. because there are these new ambassadors who are literally first yrs. and they didnt even know where half the places on campus were.

so taking the high skool kids around was also taking first yr aspire ambassadors around.

LOL
LOL

but hey - that means im important. =D and i was. =D

and i had THE BEST kids today. our faculty session in the morning was business - of course. for my group anyway. and they had this marketing quiz thing where you had to recognise major brand names, think of brands and their slogans, recognise endorsements, etc. so much fun. and my 6 kids were so talented... that they WON!!! [two massive blocks of chocolate and bunches and bunches of candy] =D so proud of them. plus one of my girls fully pwned these other two boys in a drink skulling competition. that was massive ROFL.

then had two kids that i got to talk to about uni life. at least they had aspirations. one was a writer and one was a zoologist. so they didn't need much help in figuring out what they wanted to do. it was more like.. what they could do, what subjects they would choose. =)

and the science session in the arvo.

MASSIVE AWESOMENESS.
EVEN THE AMBASSADORS WERE LIKE WOW.

Arks and sparks show by this guy called Rob. (HAHAHAHA ROB!!!!). any he was showing all the different types of way electricity can be charged and used to create motion and currents and it was just mega cool. felt like i was in some expensive science show. hahaha.

then it was good bye kids. time to go to work for wynwyn.

and i walked into another storm.

and i didnt even take a break today. eventhough i was entitled to one.

and it was just clean clean clean.
i had to DUST. like wtf?
and spl. spl. spl.
fix things...

zzzz... tired but so wired. actually, i dont feel tired but i know im tired.

6 days im working this week.. its ok with the all the casuals in too. and since there really aren't all that many customers, its not so bad. sort of like nightfill in uniform i suppose.

i went to the gym this morning and the carpark was empty.
and i was like
EASY PARKING
and then obviously, i realised something was wrong.
turns out there was a major power outage in the area.
so they had to close the centre for ohs issues.
and since the traffic lights were down and police were there directing traffic, it took longer than usual to get home.

it really amazes me wat boys can eat. or rather - the amount of food - junk food - they can eat. its like O_O r u serious?!

i started at 4 today. and it was well, hectic, messy, demolished, hell, busy, disgusting - you get my gist.

so it was relay. relay. RELAY. all night.

well, until 9. cause there was no way i was staying back tonight.

and it was so unfair. because all other departments had like at least 5 or 6 people. and i was all by myself in kids. ladieswear had 6 and toys and christmas had a gazillion people working. hahaha. oh well. i was okay.. actually probably better on my own.

fully fixed boys so it looks mad now. i keep thinking that i will find a dead rat underneath one of the modules when i clear it. but all there is for the time being is rat poo. i will literally scream if theres a rat.

tried to make my timetable. its okay i guess. its just the geneds that are making me sad. =( because the ones i want to do have been cancelled for the semester. or they clash with my acct. and i dont want to change my beautiful acct timetable. no more night classes! and no 9 am starts!

my day was pretty ordinary. actually.. no. i watched a lot of tv and a couple of movies today.

wildchild was surprisingly an ok movie. for chicks. i think i'm just into the whole im a kid and im misunderstood so i will be rebellious kind of thing.

the bank job was ok... reminded me a bit of prison break (tunnel digging) and the italian job (blowing up walls). the story was based on a true story and it was actually quite distressing.

then went downstairs and watched the news. and after, don't forget the lyrics was on and it was a celebrity episode. and they had boyz 2 men on. and they were AWESOME! and the ads were good too because I FINALLY SAW ONE OF THE TWILIGHT TRAILERS ON TV!!!

YAY
YAY
YAY

cake day was mad because everyone liked my gingerbread men and melting moments. =D and clad's Portuguese tarts. yay to $5 all you can eat. lols.

that was the only thing good about work today. because people were literally at our door before we were even open. and the store went off today. the carpark was pretty much full before 9am. and the gates that weren't open had cars lining up back onto the traffic lights. mum and dad were like.. WTF!?

and i cut my hand on a cage. some skin came off. hahahaha ewww. but it didn't really bleed... i seem to bruise and cut myself heaps these days at work. =S

and i had to stay all day. but i wasn't complaining. $$$

but wouldn't people rather go to the beach than the shopping centre?

came home and decided to do a bit of building: gingerbread house. and i am so so so so pleased with out how's turned out. and i feel dumb because mum realised how to put together the would-be chimney and i had no idea how to (so there is no chimney this year... we will work on it next year).

i got up really early because i couldn't sleep. so i went to the gym around 8. it was surprisingly pretty quiet. definetely not like the 9 oclock rush.

i came home and turns out mum was still home. cause her back was hurting. so she stayed home today.

and we went to the markets in the arvo. got some fruit and veg.

and i was baking today. i made melting moments for the cake stall tomorrow at work. and the pieces to my gingerbread house that i have yet to decorate. i made gingerbread people with the leftover dough. yay. oh and i made my sister's tiramisu cups for her party tomorrow.

so yes, i have finally started my christmas baking!!!

i am so funny.

i came back from the gym today, was attempting to get up the stairs. and i either miscalculated or just didn't see where i was going. so i stacked it up the stairs. and at the exact same time, my sister was coming down. so she saw me fall. and she fell on the step laughing her ass off.

and then just then, mum was in my sister's room, talking about her tutoring fees. and i was leaning of the doorframe with the door half closed. and she walks out and literally jumps 3 feet in the air.

ROFL
ROFL
ROFL

couldnt stop laughing. =D

this house is not for the feint-hearted.

i think, today marked the beginning of the christmas rush. quite literally.

it was non-stop action all night until 9 pm and after. there were people everywhere, kids screaming, toys all over the floor, strollers on the footpaths, register calls non-stop, empty drink cups on our shelves and it was so noisy that we couldnt hear the PA half the time.

and i am so sick of cleaning something, turning around to do something else and coming back to clean the exact same thing 5 minutes later because people have no respect for our clothes. they dump their shit everywhere and for christ's sake, freaking go to the fitting rooms to try on clothes.

warehousing in 30+ heat is not pleasant.

in fact, its downright torturous.

and im dead beat tired.

i went to westfield. and basically only went to coles to get some stuff for my baking. and i was expecting it to be a quick, won't-bump-into-anyone trip.

how i was wrong.

people from work are literally everywhere. they come to haunt coles on their lunch breaks?!?!

well, first it was monica, who'd finished and was getting groceries. but like 10 seconds later, my MT walks through and we're all like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

hahahaha.

tarjay reunion in coles.

YAY! -_-"

kind of funny... i guess.

godbrothers leaving for china and whereever else he's going. have to say i'm kind of glad he's going. its a break for me: no more babysitting. =D he's been a handful lately. in the bad way. too spoilt. no discipline. tantrummy.

scored another shift at the offsit tomorrow. i don't mind. keeps me away from places that i might spend money. although it does mean i wont get to go to the gym. =(
