It has been a while since I’ve blogged, but it has been a good 2 weeks! I came back from church camp over the weekend and boy was it an experience. And since there are pictures everywhere, I decided not to use my camera and just take pictures from various people 
Warning picture heavy post. Click at your own peril…Muahaha
Admitedly I have been banned from my own site due to some plugins working overzealously for me, but no matter I’m back and back to blogging.
I’m happy as a duck, got results back yesterday and passed everything! The overview for the self-directed project is due today and that’s been taken care of and I’m sitting at home taking pictures of myself and loading them to Facebook. As I promised, I did take some shots of my new haircut. And yes, I love myself that’s why I take pictures of myself in the wideeeeeeee mirror and here we goooooooo!
David, this is for you! Your sneak preview of the shirts I bought for you…Hahaha…Now all you have to do is wait for to to arrive
I told the lady to cut it like Victoria Beckham style but my fringe was not long enough so she didn’t cut it as angular as I wanted it to be. So now all I have to do is wait for my fringe to grow out properly, go to the hairdressers for another cut and it’ll all be nice and angular again
As you can tell, I’m stoked with getting my FutureSex/LoveShow DVD that I had to camwhore with it
Don’t mind the smile, that DVD was well worth the money. 3 hours worth of footage and I’m a happy girl
I can’t kiss the boy but I sure can kiss his picture
Well been working heaps lately, the shop has been rather busy over the Christmas period but I get 2 days off this week which is good. I’m in the midst of clearing up my room and going to charity bin some stuff that I have outgrown *sheepish grin*
Lin’s birthday is tomorrow but we’re going to be doing a dinner thing on Friday and I still haven’t gotten her a present yet!! I’ll either get it today or tomorrow after work or possibly get Ange to get it and we go splitzies on it. Speaking of birthdays, mine’s in a month and a half and I have no idea what to do for it. Possibly a dinner somewhere for the people that are around and when everyone comes back just have another dinner or something. Lol.
Oh yea, for those of you who haven’t heard, I’ve got an 8 month break (woohoo!!) and I start my pracs in July. I’ve got 2 weeks worth of classes to attend in May and June and then have to finish the self-directed prac by June or July and I’m off to Charlie’s for 7 weeks, followed by another 7 weeks in Collie (near Bunbury if anyone is asking) and 7 weeks at Edge Employment, which is in Subiaco.
Had yesterday off from work and I’m rested enough to work again for another 2 weeks before getting my next break. Worked 52.5 hours last week, think that’s my record number of hours per week thus far.
Anyways, have to get back to cleaning out the room. Toodles!
Well, the last few days of the holidays are coming and uni is starting again all not soon enough 
Frankly, 6 weeks of holidays is well and truly enough for me. I can’t wait till uni classes actually start up and I’ve got something else other than work to focus my mind on.
Has been raining for the past week or so and it was meant to be very wet and stormy in Perth yesterday. The weather bureau even pin pointed the time of 5pm when the wild weather would supposedly be starting. It didn’t start raining till 8pm if I recall from memory. They even said that there would be winds of up to 100 km/h, which thankfully didn’t happen. 100 km/h winds don’t sound comforting at all, especially not since I had just gotten home at 4.30pm yesterday.
Work was sort of relatively normal yesterday, worked with Amy instead of Andrew today and it was majorly busy at work, which is a very good thing on many fronts. Didn’t give me time to brood over last week’s incident and it kept us on our toes. We made twice as what they did in morning, which is majorly great
Anyhow, time to go and get the brain juices flowing again after drying up over the break
As per usual, I couldn’t sleep with all the anticipation about the announcement of results. I went to bed at around 11pm last night after I bid farewell to the girls (Ange, you were hilarious jumping around last night….hahaha) post Friends and Krispy Kremes night. Woke up at about 2ish am and started tossing and turning in my bed, wondering and having a gut feeling that my results were up.
Checked my phone, already expecting a msg from one of the girls and true enough Ange msged to say that results were out. And so I dragged my sorry ass with the haywire hair out of bed to go check the computer. Thankfully I kept the laptop on standby so I wouldn’t have to wait 15 minutes for it to start up…….My fingers were crossed and thankfully the connection wasn’t as bad as I thought and within seconds I saw the results. Not too bad, 2 distinctions which I expected and the other 2 were as I expected as well. The hard papers were just a killer, but I’m glad its all over and done with.
Now I can REALLY enjoy the rest of my 6 week break. Well the 2 and a half weeks that is left of it anyway.
I feel like dancing and working up a sweat suddenly. Haha….The excitement and adrenaline from the results feels really good! FINALLY I can put my files for semester 1 away and celebrate getting thru everything! Not to mention I’m overhauling my wardrobe, putting aside things to either charity bin or sell online or something. Maybe I should get an e-bay account and sell the things from my wardrobe that I don’t want so at least I can make some money out of it
Well, its back to cleaning my room for me! And possibly pubbing at the Floreat on Friday night…Hehe
Me, Lin, Zaneta, Kim and Euhin were having half price waffles today at Gelares when suddenly the topic turned to what type of drunk we’d each be. Some how this feels a bit like deja vu cause we’ve had this conversation about which character from Friend’s we’d each be. It was unanimously agreed that I was sort of Monica-ish
Anyway, back to the question: What kind of drunk would I be? I think I would be a talkative drunk. Talk about random stuff to random people and start talking to the table lamp to make it stop shining onto my face. Or start talking to the girls about random stuff and not shut up because the alcohol has taken over my brain reactions.
Watched Music & Lyrics last night and I just can’t get the song out of my head. Now I feel like learning how to play it on the piano, it sounds so beautiful in the movie!
[Cora]
I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on
[Alex]
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
[Cora]
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere
[Alex]
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
[Cora]
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end
We’re having a Friends night again to go over various episodes of Friends. I think I’m still stuck as an undergraduate of the whole TV series, I can remember vague episodes here and there but somehow I still can’t recite the lines yet….Hahaha….Oh, and Ange’s brought back Krispy Kremes from Melbourne!!! I’m addicted to those donuts! You know, it would be a huge money maker if someone went and brought over the franchise from the Eastern States to WA, I bet there’ll be this massive ass queue for the donuts.
Anyway, results are out tomorrow!! I didn’t get any supps this semester which is a good thing, but I’m really wanting to know my results!!! The anticipation is seriously killing me here its not funny. I get tomorrow off, so I’m going to sleep in and rush to the computer 1st thing tomorrow morning and look at the numbers. Or maybe I’ll be woken up by someone else who will be screaming down the phone, “Results are out!! Results are out!!”
Or maybe I’ll just let the phone ring. Who knows, I haven’t decided yet
On Saturday me and Andrew were working and there was this guy who walked in eating Nando’s Peri Peri Chips and wanting to order a cake for someone’s birthday. I started salivating at the smell of those damn chips. And as if that wasn’t enough, at 7.15pm, another guy came in with this freshly fried batch of chips from the fish and chips store just down the road for us. I tell you, my stomach was doing the cha cha moves, wanting a bite of those loooooooooovely chips.
Has Baskin Robbins’ Peanut Butter and Chocolate ice cream yesterday. It was the best! After all the craving for the ice cream on Sunday night during the exam period it was like a persistent itch finally being scratched. Ahhhhhh……
So much for the diet plan.
Watched Norbit yesterday at home, was sooooo funny! Poor Norbit who always gets bullied by his wife Rasputia. Lol. The way Norbit was portrayed, it made him look like he was stuck in one of those abusive relationships but instead of the male being abusive and crass, its the female half that’s got no etiquette or finesse. My heart felt for poor Norbit when he got married to Rasputia….Haha….He looked like he was constipated in the wedding scene
Anyhow, I’m off now to get some things done before I head back to work at 3pm today. Everyone gets off work the 2nd half off the day and I’m jsut getting ready to go to work
Well, see half the holidays are gone and I feel as if my brain is beginning to rot from its disuse. I think my brain cells are starting to atrophy and I’m turning into a bimbo from all the shopping and walking around in the city and Harbourtown and just looking at the amount of clothes, shoes, bags and everything else on sale during the stock take season.
You know, I think I wouldn’t survive very well if I were to become a housewife and sit at home and organise the house. My brain would be crying out for some stimulation apart from, say, figuring out what the price difference is for apples in Subi markets and Woolies. Not that I’m dissing housewives out there, its just that I think that being a full-time housewife isn’t something that I’d like to do in the future.
Went out Zaneta today in the city cause I felt like walking around in the city today after work. Managed to buy pseudo pearl earrings for 2 bucks at Harbourtown’s Table Eight store. We also booked our free make up lesson (just cause it was free and we thought it’d be fun :P) at the Benefit counter in Myer for next Tuesday. Zaneta’s leaving on Wednesday for Malaysia, so we’d hang out on Tuesday before she leaves and before the whole uni madness starts again.
I’ll be glad to check results on Wednesday and find out that I’ve passed everything, I mean I should have passed right? They’ve sent me my tax invoice for next semester’s tuition fees. That’s gotta account for something. I can’t wait to start uni and fall back into routine again. I like my routine and hopefully we’ll get the classes that we want for uni and Ange, Lin and me will be in the same classes again. It feels so weird not seeing them always, and its weird not being in the same classes as them and hanging out with them during break time.
Things are going to be so different this sem, I’m just hoping its not going to be as hard as I think it’ll be.
The phrase just popped into my head while I was taking a leisurely stroll in Perth City today and this middle aged guy randomly sneezed without covering his mouth. All I could think off were the germs flying about in the air when he sneezed and how I hoped I wouldn’t catch a cold from them.
And this guy looked well dressed enough to possess some social etiquette, but somehow I think he missed that lesson in school. But somehow I would have thought it’d be common sense to at least whip out a handkerchief or use your hand to at least cover flying, projectile snot and germs coming out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze. Maybe it isn’t so common sense after all.
This post reminded me today that some people don’t realise their actions in public portray of themselves sometimes. After reading that post last night, I couldn’t help but realise how many people flash their butt cracks to the public, intentionally or unintentionally, I don’t know. What I do know is that it sometimes is disturbing to see butt cracks on some people in public *shudders at memories of today*
Anyway, had quite a relaxing time strolling in the city, witnessing the hustle and bustle of daily life and just listening to my ipod. Stock take sales are raging madly in the city and its hard to walk past the stores and not buy anything that is like 70% off. Though I must say, Harbourtown is the best place for bargains, Suite 62 Boutique in front of Valley Girl/Temt is one of the best places to shop cause of all the nice cheap stuff there. There isn’t an item of clothing that I have bought from that place that is more than $10 bucks. Literally. So if anybody is looking for great bargains, look no further than there
Somehow I think I’ve managed to injure my ipod, mine is the really old one without the click wheel, with the 4 buttons in between the screen and the wheel. The back is the usual shiny thing, and the front doesn’t have the glass thing like the new ones and I think I somehow either squished the ipod in its case with my stuff or someone must have stepped on it or something heavy must have been on top of it because the metal casing is coming out on the side. I’m not sure if it was caused by the water I split in my bag the other day, but I sure hope that nothing happened to it cause I think I’d go insane without my ipod to listen to.
Managed to get Jasmine’s present for her birthday, which is today. Aunty called and I’m working in the morning tomorrow instead of the afternoon, so I’m off to bed now. Have to get out of the house early to go look for my keychain that I lost on the way home. It’s the Top OT one. I’m going to find it and when I do, I’m keeping it away and not using it as a keychain anymore cause its all the way from the UK (well, 1st being made in China :P) and I can’t bear losing it. So, that’s all from me tonight. Toodles!
Well, life’s been pretty much routine lately. Work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Get Tuesday ad Thursday off to take a breather and possibly go out with friends. I think my brain’s rotting away from disuse these holidays. I’d imagine summer’s going to be worse, but I really should go start practical this summer just so I can complete my 1000 hours faster and so I have more time at the end of next year to go work at Myers or David Jones as a casual for Christmas before I register in 2009 at an Occupational Therapist. Finally.
These holidays have been alright so far, been catching up on the TV, though I still have yet to touch Scrubs Season 1 yet. I feel so anti-social lately, I just want to stay at home and hang out by myself. I think it must be the weather with all the storms and rain that’s making me want to huddle under the doona and sleep the whole day
The only thing exciting happening lately is that Perth had some storms yesterday which flooded the Kwinana Freeway and caused some trees in King’s Park to fall and some damage and power cuts to suburbs around Perth. Apparently Subi had a power black out. I’m really surprised, cause every year it seems to be that Subi has power black outs even though it is one of the more expensive suburbs.
Anyway, I’m off to go find something to do. Hmmm….
Yes, I finally went clubbing at Metro’s on Saturday night There always has to be a first for everything in life.
Went to Saigon in Northbridge for dinner and some powerful Vietnamese white iced coffee *slurps* Those things are the bomb! And then it was off to Metro’s for a night of dancing and partying away! Ange, Lin and me went off to Metro’s and the babes gave me a ‘tour’ of the place…..”There is the red bar (points to a bar with red lights), and those 2 are the blue bars (points at the bars with blue lights, left and right of the mosh pit). The toilet is up here, and the dance floor is down there with the people dancing and the DJs playing. That is all you need to know”.
And clearly that was all I needed to know. After the little tour, saw John near the blue bar with a bunch of friends. Don’t ask me how I managed to recognise him in the dark and in a strange place, I just have this thing for noticing people And from the ‘balcony’, we saw Ee and her bf Hung, and Maybz waiting in the line outside. Don’t know how I did that
I <3 those babes to death! They were so nice and we ended up dancing, walking to the toilets with hands linked (it's only cause we didn't want to loose each other in the dark) and meeting random people on the dance floor. We were one of the first to dance, and there was this photographer chick from Xpress magazine who took our pictures for the mag, so if anyone sees the mag, please keep it for me! I wanna see it
It was fully packed to the point where the dance floor was so squished you could barely dance after a while. The acts there were quite good, I must say the guys in the jump suits were awesome! Not to mention they also danced to the JT songs AND Bob Sinclar....Hahaha....Great songs and veeeeery cute guys dancing on the stage....Hahaha.
I'll put up pictures of us when I finally get them Ange, who is in Melbourne now. I miss you babes!!! Managed to take a few pictures of myself at dinner So here they are! And the dress I'm wearing is only 10 bucks Though I thought it was a top at first....Hahaha...till Ange made me try it on without bottoms. Lol. Then I realised it was long enough to be a dress, and it says so on the label as well
Well, now is a good time as any to write a whole “1st Timer’s Guide to Clubbing”, seeing that I went on Saturday and have had a feel of the whole clubbing scene Not that I’m in the clubbing scene a lot.
First of all, I would recommend bringing friends with you that you can trust, just in case things go wrong. If you’re a girl, bring girl friends that have been there before or bring a guy friend you can trust. But then again, bring your girlfriends Holding hands while walking on the dance floor or on the way to the toilet might seem strange, but better safe than sorry. It is dark in there and its loud, so chances of finding you group of friends if you’re lost might be a little slim. Also, designate a driver waaaaaaaaay in advance just so you know who cannot drink that night. Sounds rather basic but then again, would you like to place your life in the hands of a person who has drank enough alcohol to last for weeks? Plus, in case fights break out (they happen pretty often I heard) your friends will be there to huddle with you and stay away till the bouncers break up the fight.
One more thing when clubbing, make sure you dress properly. That’s collared shirts/T-shirts for the guys (the bouncers were strict, they turned away a bunch of guys in the line ahead of us cause they wore T-shirts without collars) and dressy things for the girls Or rather anything appropriate enough to dance in and to climb up and down stairs in. Last thing you need is for a wardrobe malfunction on the dance floor Also, wear COMFORTABLE shoes/heels. OK, I admit, after dancing for 3 hours NO shoes can remain comfortable Just remember that there will be glass on the dance floor from the drinks, so wear shoes that will protect your feet from the glass. My feet have just started to recover from all that dancing
Try to arrive early and snag an awesome parking spot if you’re driving. You’d be VERY thankful that you snagged a spot in front of the club after you finish and your feet are screaming out for relief. Entry is cheaper earlier and you have a lot shorter line for the cloak room Then again, after the whole thing, the line to the cloak room is going to be really long, so might as well leave your coats in the car and wear a pashmina inside and stash it away in a bag while dancing. Works wonders
Things to bring:
1. ID - you’re not getting anywhere without this, so don’t forget this if you have to forget anything
2. Money - again, not gonna get inside if you don’t have moolah. A 50 will do to buy you entry and at least a few drinks
3. Camera if its small enough and you don’t mine carrying it while dancing. Though I think sometimes they check you for cameras during events, so just be mindful of it.
3. Mobile, keys
Girls, don’t worry about carrying your whole makeup kit and kaboodle, its too dark to fix makeup anyway. The most you need is lipbalm and lipgloss. As for bags, don’t carry a massive one, either a clutch or a small shoulder bag is good enough so you can dance with. You don’t really want to be poking someone’s eyes out with a massive bag
As for drinks, I have no clue to what is what but they have the usual stuff you’d find in a tav, plus cocktails and other randoms bits and pieces
Speaking about random bits and pieces, I just got my hair cut yesterday, just a trim nothings drastic. I’m wanting to grow my hair out long but its seriously not behaving itself lately. Went to Just Cuts in the city. I reckon that lady that did my hair (Lynn) isn’t such a good stylist. I prefer my usual stylist, Stef to do my hair cause somehow she does it right. Hurr….Anyway, reason I’m writing about them is that you know how they spray your hair with water before cutting it right? This other girl, Lynn, sprayed so much water on my hair that it ended up being soaking wet and cold. And they’re smart, they charge 6 bucks to blow dry hair. I couldn’t exactly be walking the streets of Perth at 10am with wet hair and freezing my head off now could I??? Grrrr….
Anyways, I’m off to catch up on my beauty sleep now. Toodles!
