don't know how to do business.

yet i can see where they're coming from.

basically - tried to upgrade monkey's handset. negotiate a couple of deals whilst on the phone, you know. basic stuff. like how i did it for mine.

three are no longer accepting orders via phone for iphone 4 upgrades

bastards!

not the best way to keep customer's happy!

i can't believe its already the last day of the weekend. i woke up thinking it was saturday!

started the day pretty early. went to visit my g'ma in hospital. she gets to go home on tuesday which is great news. :-)

then dropped mum off before getting JS for brunch at carss park. so nice and tranquil and lazy sunday-ish. until the sun came out and ruined it.

then it was back to the chores - grocery shopping and getting dinner for g'ma.

and its hot. like sticky, gross, humid hot.

what to do with the rest of my lazy ass sunday afternoon?

i am very surprised that it only takes 12 minutes on the m5 to get to liverpool / casula.

crashed two houses tonight :-)

amanda's bro's with the gorgeous husky... just like shadow... with those big round eyes and another big black dog. both were such teddy bears. had a couple of snags there before moving on down the "road" (highway)

to amanda's place. with army guys. hehe theyre so funny. and pretty good lookin ;) was watching mr and mrs smith whilst drinking. and they were egging each other on about vodka shots in these massive shot glasses that amanda got. they were like 3 times the size of a regular shot glass.

i was having virgin cranberries of course. except that half a glass of champagne at the very beginning of the night.

and they were telling freaky ghost tales. like stop stop!!

pretty tame night really.

but good fun. funny people. good times.

coincidentally, its so so SO weird when say for instance, in the past, you talk about this random someone - not ever thinking that you'd ever meet them - and then, one day, like today, you do. and its like *lightbulb turns on* and everyone is that much clearer. that happened about 3 times today. i was like whoa!

had a pretty awesome party on Thursday night. my company definitely knows what's in and what's hot. the alcohol was flowing and the food was slow (but mostly delicious!) and it was an awesome night.

cosmo themed. (bit on an in-joke, in-story there...)

so much talking, mingling, chatting, connecting and DANCING!!!

my feet were killing me. KILLING me. but i had such a good time. i think everyone did. and when the event had finished, we troopered on... until my two TLs (new and old) got kicked out. LOL!

we all sort of separated then. some went to the casino, some stayed, some went to maccas, some home and some back to their hotel rooms.

i went to maccas and then to our hotel. my two TLs weren't very far behind. and then we all just passed out.

when i woke up it was like 7. and starving.

we showered, checked out, dropped off out stuff at the office and then went to hunt for food glorious food. nobody spewed. but everyone was talking.

cause my colleague deliberately poured a whole glass of champagne over this guy.

LOL
LOL
LOL
LOL

she came to work and was like.. omgomgomg... i'm just waiting for my letter of dismissal.

HAHAHAHAHAHA so funny. we talked about that a lot. actually, we were talking about it (and the rest of the night) all day. =D

and i think by midday, we were sobering up and feeling a little worse for wear. i remember answering the phone and it was the boys at spazzamatta and i was like 'please don't yell...'. XD

needless to say, not much productivity was going on.

oh oh and did i mention a couple of the guys in one of the other teams came in super late. one called in to say he'd be there in a half hour and rocked up 2.5 hours later and the other didn't show up until we called!!! hahaha he was like passed out and didn't even use his cabcharge to get home. and his phone was on his balcony?!?!?! LOL!!!

christmas party here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deeper n deeper I fall

The more I talk to ppl

The more GEed I become

Until there's no turning back

Where am I?

to caffeine.

i suffered withdrawal symptoms whilst studying.

and i had to have 3 coffees - 2 hot, 1 iced - to curb those symptoms today.

and also to keep me awake and to energize my braincells which, by the way, are now beyond fried.

a 3 hour exam and then 4 hours of going through, sifting, softing and answering the most urgent of urgent of over 100+ emails over a span of 3 days is not fun. especially when ur phone doesn't stop ringing either.

i felt like i hadn't been to work in weeks not just 2.5 days!

however, i am now FREE~

exciting
exciting
exciting

so much i want to do too! YAY~

and and and i got a wizz fizz via express post today! im so special =D

i feel like i've been so selfish - i've been cooped up in my own little world, literally, inside the four walls that is my room for the past few days when i should be caring about others - my family, my friends. and not just little issues like how's it going, what's happening. i'm talking serious issues.

i feel disconnected and i think i'm shutting out a lot that i'm feeling.

you might be able to tell. i blog about the vain, unimportant and shallow aspects of my life - what i choose to tell, not what i really should be expressing / venting.

why? because its easy. and i don't need to think about it.

but i think - from tuesday (i.e., post exam) - i need to start caring, to start thinking about all the things that have happened, and to start playing a more active role in fixing, listening and understanding.

so many things planned but i feel like i have to overcome this massive hurdle until i get to them.

i'm so excited about my company's 15th birthday. i'm so excited about the weekend starting the 5th. and i'm looking forward to catching up with the girls. i also want to go horseriding.

i need to face reality sometime too - the fact that my grandma has been in hospital for sometime now, that one of my best friends is going through probably one of the hardest times of her life, and of course, my never-ending battle with my weighty issues.

i've decided to start a new diet. and i hope, that this time, i will stick to it no matter how difficult it gets. i've got the exercise part down packed, and eventhough i have been cutting carbs out of my diet, i just feel that it's not enough. never enough. and it calls for extreme measures.

so many little things in life that define who you are. i think i've made an effort on many fronts. but i don't get the same feedback or responses that i feel are appropriate. but in life, one can only try.

it's almost, but not quite, like i'm about to start a new chapter in my life. almost~
