fuchsia fragments

i went to oatley pub last night!!! ive never been there.. and haha. its in the middle of nowhere. its too full of shire people on a friday night. and it was like a massive tarjay reunion - of the resigned and current. LOL drinks are cheap though. even a couple of our managers were there.
so yeah.. spent my night there. i wasn't planning on going out considering the events of yesterday. legal assignment. family tragedy. yadda yadda.
im glad i did though. but nads was upset we didnt go to her event at the cross so we have to make it up to her soon. oops.
anyhow, chu was driving and so he was dropping me off and jan was still there obviously and we were just talking in his car outside my house. and LOL. i am the centre of all information. i know everything.. telling them so much stuff they had no idea about. so funny. they were like 'how tf do u know all this??' and im like 'hehe.. right place, right time? *innocent smile*'
asked to stay back at work. had to say no because of a stupid group meeting for my gened.
which turned out to be ok.. some coincidences.
i know jeff > jeff knows other girl
all of us went to a selective school
this guy was from tech in my coz's yr
so talking about people we knew and stuff.
anyhow. more legal awaits

i was in deep slumber when the phone, home phone rang at 7:30 and woke me up.
it was muriell.

"wynnie im sorry to wake you. theana's called in sick. any possibility of you working?"
*mumbles groggily* "i have uni"
"no worries, you go back to sleep darling."
*nods off again*

when i wake up again its like 8:30 and get ready for uni.. no matter how much earlier i leave to make it on time. something stops me. all city-bound trains were grounded at hurstville for an unspecified amount of time. turned out to be about 20 minutes due to a 'police operation' at Bankstown. Apart from connecting trains at Sydenham, that affects my line how? anyhow, good thing there were heaps of buses. made it just on time. for a really shitty lecture too.
tutorial and group meeting followed which was quicker that expected. people were pretty cooperative so that was good.

decided to go ESPRIT shopping by myself cause donna (poor thing) needed to go get some sleep cause she was falling asleep in her exam today. at first, i went around the other shops and was completely unmotivated. and i even walked around esprit a few times going.. nothings screaming "BUY ME!"
but after two successive phone calls (which were both very important).. i was in the fitting rm for like 20 mins and tried on 2 items cause i was on the phone. rofl.
muriell again:

"i'm calling at a more respectable hour. any chance of you doing nightfill? pretty please?"

gotta love her =D but had to say no.
i ended up getting two pairs of pants, a tank top and a nice marle tee. these took heaps of digging up to find.. and it was only cause i didnt want to leave empty handed that i forced myself to look for something. and began talking to the guy at the register about working in retail. lol. i thought it was okay for $62.
deliberately bumped into mummy at the station. got home and had about an hour before we had to go to some fundraiser/chinese banquet/function at sunnys (the big yum cha restaurant in hursty).
>>
i felt out of place but at the same time connected and important (cause we were sitting at the front tables). like it was two tables away from all the important council people (mayor, councilors, etc etc). wonder how i landed a ticket at the function in the first place.....
good food but crap entertainment. very interesting yet boring. a mixture of honkyness and fobbyness. chinese people are really rude. when people are announcing things and making speeches, they continue to talk over them. i felt sorry for the mayor who was like congratulating the restaurant owners and people just kept on talking. anyhow, that meant that most of my night was gone sitting at some uppity function. srly shouldve said yes to coming in and working. nevermind that.
>>
came home and ive been trying to search for the readings i need for my journal tats due tomorrow which i havent started. sooo doomed. plus i have work. and i want to go to the gym cause i didnt today but at this rate i wont be sleeping for a while which means i wont be able to get up. but maybe i can squeeze in a late session and just head straight to work. im not sure yet.
im hoping that having drunk so much chinese and english tea that it will keep me up for awhile yet.

and on top of that there was some family emergency. 3rd aunt calls mum and my other aunt and dad and yeah. its massive. mum was like they almost needed to finish work early and "put out the flames" (at first i thought she meant literally. LOL).
not good.. =S and its not just gonna simmer. all this family sht makes me so unhappy =( i mean, i know we're not always one big happy family but geez, can't things in the past stay in the past and move on. more about this when more news comes to light. there are many demons buried in my family.

i was meant to have a group meeting about our presentation at 11 today so i left home at like 20 past 10. but it took me all of 90 minutes to find parking so by the time i got to uni it was like 12. =X =X =X so i was just like.. oh oops. i'll just go have a coffee with donna. HAHAHAHA
luckily, it wasn't too important and we managed to get through our group presentation pretty well if i may say so myself. like there wasnt really any awkward silent pauses or major bluffing, etc.
and im so glad that we got to do it this week and not next week. its one less thing i have to worry about.
