getting up was a difficult task this morning... especially after sleeping in three days in a row and waking to grey skies and gloomy weather. :(

But more or less, today passed by in a bit on an anti-climax. there weren't any disasters or emergencies at work. nothing to fight about. nothing to cry about. i think the most eventful thing that happened was that the lights weren't switched on this morning prompting my comment that it was a cost-cutting imitative and bringing a few laughs around and gentle chastising by michael. hahahaha.

I'm not feeling the urgency of quarter-end and its a worry because it just means that things will be worse as the days go by. but tomorrow is hump day and then another weekend to look forward to. i especially look forward to a drive down the south coast and blowing up a few things. boom.

evidently in holiday mode as it takes 3 days to post about my new years. hahaha.

we trashed one of the boys' soccer/high school buddy's house on NYE and watched the fireworks from their balcony which was pretty cool. the night involved a lot of kicking balls, food and more food, the girls walking to the station with alcohol in their hands and asking every shop owner (those that were open anyway) whether or not they had sparklers and being denied every single time. xD

there was also a loooooootttttt of alcohol. to the point where some people drank one FULL bottle of southern comfort on their own. and we got to make fruit tingles! exciting. and then rolled around on the grass whilst the boys grappled and did what homo boys do. (re: fb photos). at least we didn't get to the part where they were going to climb the water tower 2 streets away cause they wouldn't have gone down too well since some of them could barely stand up...

*tries to remember what happened on new years day * oh yes, i made the first fail cake of the year without even knowing why. like.. my bailey's cheesecake just decided to have a massive crack in it which pissed the hell out of me. cause it meant i had to go get more ingredients to make a surprise 18th birthday cake for my sister's friend. so i was cooped up doing that which meant i couldn't go to the beach with jan and the guys. =( =(

jan came over later for dinner and she didn't want to leave. LOL i was like.. please leave please leave im bugggered. HAHAHAHHA jks.

went furniture looking again yesterday. but nothing came that close to the first time.. now we can focus on choosing a colour. and time to clean out all the house waste. bi-annual council collections make me so happy. it means we can get rid of all the ugly shits! =D

my family is EPIC to the infinity. my grandmother is EPIC. matriarch to the tee. has to have a say in everything. and i love her but sometimes, she's better off on the backbench. because somethings can't ever be taken back. whether as a joke, blown out of proportion or as a passing statement.

*adds another one of those to the list*

and a "sai lo", we aren't permitted to speak but only to observe...

nessie's first fireworks display at the oval. and it was AWESOME. they must've compensated for not having fireworks last year cause it went on for a while. and they were pretty decent for a local event. cars lined up on the street. carols down at the park. festive season is here!

i've decided to make truffles this year for christmas. and a christmas cake. and maybe give cookies in a jar as gifts.
