Missing piece..

Something triggered my mind the other day and made me think about u. Thoughts and moments with u just flooded my brain. I miss the times i spent with u, the times we watched Jay Leno together, the times we watched The Man Show and the thing with girls on trampolines, the times we watched the comedy channel. The times we had supper at 3 or 4 in the morning. The times we just pig-out and just sleep thru the day, and the times we skipped classes. I miss ur jokes, i miss ur laughter, i miss ur presence. But most of all, i miss YOU!! I wished i could rewind time and spend all those great times with u again, unfortunately the world is just turning as it should. *Sigh* Miss u heaps though.

updates

Ok..updates..i know it's been a long time since i've updated. A lot of things have been happening. Mostly good stuff. Great job, great colleagues, great managers, awesome ppl. All good.

On a different note, bday celebration this year was excellent! Such great memories. I cant really describe everything in words..its just so fresh in my memory as if it happened yesterday though. By far one of the best bdays ever.

My first week at work

Finally after waiting so so long, I managed to secure a full time job. And to me, that's such a big relief. I got the call from Michelle (now my manager) the morning of July 18. My excitement and joy over the news were beyond words. Was supposed to start training the next day. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, I couldnt, which was why I opted to go in for training starting Saturday that same week.

My life has some-what changed every since. I've had such a great week at work. Everyone is so nice and friendly and helpful. They've been training and guiding me thru work. Giving me tips and pointers, teaching me tricks of the trade, and everything else i need to know. Whenever i'm confused over something, all I do is look at one of them, and they'll come to my rescue! That's really how nice they are. As for the actual "work" itself, I'm liking it. Not too much pressure, not to stressful. Although it's fast paced, it's still fun. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna be loving my job a lot (so long as all contributing factors remain the same).

Updates coming soon!!

Adventures of...

So i had a good weekend. Worked my normal shifts and got tipped reasonable well! Today was a fun day out. Was supposed to go to the gym at 9am..but i wanted tot sleep in after a tiring saturday nite. So skipped gym, went out for dim sum or what they call "yam cha" here. The irony of the name..haih...anyway...i was satisfied with yam cha today..we went grocery shopping after that..came home put groceries away, then headed to Blanche's place for a visit..had good laughs, story telling sessions. Entertaining..very entertaining.

Anyways, highlight of the day:
We made a pitt stop after Blanche's house. Where to?? Krispy Kreme. The first outlet opened in Victoria, and yes it's at one end of the world!! All the way at Fountain Gate. So since we were at THAT end of the world, we decided to stop by. Happily parked the car and walked pass the back of Krispy Kreme to get to the front entrance. First comment that we all had was "OH MY GOD!!!" Not because we finally made it to Krispy Kreme and that we were finally able to eat the ever so famous donuts. But it was because of what our eyes saw. People were queueing up, in the freaking freezing cold to ENTER Krispy Kreme. Howling winds did not deter them. Icy cold weather..and yet these ppl braved the weather JUST to eat donuts..Dammit..everyone's influenced by Homer. Anyway, there was a staff on her break outside. We walked pass her, and she told us, that would at least be AN HOUR AND A HALF wait!!! We were like..forget man..we're not that desperate for donuts..ppfftttt!! There was a drive through lane too..the queue was till God-alone-knows-where. The queue got lost in the fleet of cars present at the site. So, yeah n then we headed home. Geez..the things people would do for donuts.

And that's the story :)

One of my favourite verses

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
Where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
Where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Sad goodbye

I received the saddest news to date on Sunday morning. And what a way to spoil the day. My dog, Ginger, died of old age. He's been with us since he was a puppy, and that was 14 years ago. He grew up with us and was part of the family. He took care of us and played with us and made us laugh at his antics..wagging his tail when he's excited and trying to run away when dad scolds him, or trying to escape a bath, and always running to us when we have food..he was such a good n lovable dog. It will be so different the next time I go home..he will not be around. I didnt even get a chance to say goodbye. But i know he's up there, in doggy heaven, looking over us and protecting us like he always did.

sick sick sick

Dammit~!! I hate being sick. Been sick since Monday, and its all thanks to the freakin cold weather here and also the stupid bug that is goin around. Down with this miserable cold. Ended up with a red red nose and even my skin is starting to peel as a result of friction from tissue. Geez..sucks big time! BIG TIME!!

Laughter for the day

You know how they say laughter is the best medicine. Well, to me, I think that if u're a person who likes to joke and can take a joke urself, then yes, laughter is the best medicine. But there are still some people out there who thinks when one is stressed, or facing a problem with work or things along those lines, joking around won't help the situation. Well, too bad for them. For those light hearted ones out there who always sees a rainbow after the rain, life would be so much less stressful. You get to let loose, and be happy, and enjoy life the way we are meant to enjoy. Anyways, I came across these. I found them quite funny.

Blank-ness fills my days...

Weekend in the sunshine state!

My weekend was spent in Brisbane. Left Melbourne on Friday morning. Got up blardy early to go to the airport. Got dropped off at the train station - froze my butt off while waiting for the city loop train. Anyways, my flight, in fact all flights at Melbourne airport got delayed cos of the foggy weather conditions. As a result, my 10.05am flight only took off at noon!!! Changed gates like a thousand times before we had a proper one. Anyhoo, arrived in sunny Brisbane slightly before 2pm. The main purpose of this Brisbane trip was for me to take the stupid english test which was on saturday morning. Another early start. Test was a piece of cake although there were a few misleading n tricky questions. But it was all fine. Was dead tired by the end of the day. Anyhoo, Arrived back in chilly Melbourne at quarter past 10pm and it was already 11.30 by the time i reached home. Was already having a throbbing headache by then, so hit the shower, and straight off to bed. I'm so glad i'm over with this test. Another hassle out of the way thank God!

At the end of the day

"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away."

Boundaries

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines...that are way too dangerous to cross.

Money come money go

Last week's been a hard week for me. Worked my butt off 5 days of the week some with 12 hour shifts!!! But what the heck, i NEED the cash. Work's not taxing for me, it's fun. That's what i like most - the fun. Certain days were easy, and certain days were crazy busy!! But it was all good - good team work, good customers, good laugh, good food.

It's kinda frustrating how it's so hard to earn money, yet it's so easy to spend money and it just saddens me so so much to see my money just fade away..to see it just slip away so so fast.

Fun-day on a Monday

Yesterday was actually a fun day for me. Hung out with my managers. Yes, managers. Was invited for lunch and spent most of the afternoon in the music room. Watched music dvds, had a brief awkward jamming session, n KARAOKE session!! Haven't sung in ages, which meant vocal chords were not in the best shape. Stayed on for dinner. We had yummy indian food. We got dinner boxes. Was so stuffed after. Then came the story telling/sharing session. Was a good day. Came home close to 11pm and had to drink lots of water cos throat was all sore due to the singing..haha!! In short, i had a wonderful time.

Art-sy Craft-y

Over the past few weeks, i've actually had plenty of free time. So to keep me occupied, I did some craft-ing. I made cards. Simple ones, nothing too funky, nothing too complicating. Here are just a few:

Picture quality ain't that good. Couldn't be bothered taking better ones :P
