♥ christmas day
i haven't blogged in a week... if you even count my last blog. that was more or a rant really.
well yesterday was Christmas. and I must admit. At first it didn't seem like it. I sorta kinda broke down in the middle of night because things were getting a bit too much for me. I was tired. exhausted. worn out. fustrated. annoyed. disappointed. angry. and yes you name it.
Last time i checked the time before i slept was 4:30am, and i woke up at around 10...
But the day improved along the way, except for the fact that i was starting to get a temperature and couldn't stop coughing...
Christmas Lunch: Michi, Vy and Layna were over. Three course meal.
Turkish Bread & Dips
Salmon & Cream Cheese with Asparagus Au Vents
Cherries
Entree
Mains. Chicken wrapped in Bacon with Carbonara sauce
Salad. eww......
Christmas Cake - brought by Vy (made by her boss at work)
Jelly
Carrot Cup Cakes
Family (with one missing) with Dessert Table
The missing family member was outside
Spend Christmas dinner with Josh & his family / cousins. Spent Christmas eve working, and had dinner at a family friend's house. and today i'm working... and tonight... we have another dinner.
Oh so much food!
A more thoughtful post next time~
P.S. My dad woke me up at 8:30 this morning. and i rushed to get ready thinking i had work at 8:45.. but really the shops don't open til 10, hence i didn't need to be at work til 9:45am. Man, my mum is smart. And phew i checked my diary before i left...

i haven't been blogging much lately.. but really. not much has happened.
work. work.. and uhh... work.
my 'date' with josh yesterday consisted of....
a movie (the invention of lying) which we saw his lil cousin with his friends sitting at the back (slightly awkwardddddd, it looked like we were there on purpose to keep a eye on them ahaha),
lunch at betty's cafe (goooood burger hey!) with a rock paper scissors to eat the last wedge (not because we wanted it, but because we were too full to eat it - josh lost, of course, with his paper and me and my scissors),
a stop by innaloo shops which resulted in a fight about clothing sizes (sounds stupid i know but ended up being a very silent drive back to his place, and it all just sorta exploded in his driveway with lots of tears...)
anyways, after we sorted that out, we played monopoly with matt.. and zmgshhhhh talk about the longest game EVERRRR. i was really winning early on too =( i had like half the properties. then traded and got like three or four monopolies? including mayfair and park lane or something??? yes as you can tell, i rarely play monopoly ahaha, and i'm not too good at it either. in fact the only times i've ever played a proper game of it was twice, both at josh's house.
we stopped by the beach for like half an hour before i had to rush to the train station to get to work on time! and that was my day in a bombshell.
on other news. went to the dentist today. had to get a filling. and gotta go back again for another... T__T far out. it was the first time i went to this dentist though, i usually go to the school one. but i'm too old now =(
well i'm working for the rest of the week. morning and night for both thurs and fri. next week i've got tuesday off, but i've got to somehow meet up with joshyen who's back from syd for a wk + eunike who's back from indo + adrian AND drop by chris' bday at kings park AND head to reddot at 5:30pm for work.
so anyways. as you can guess, i've been over doing it, once again. i am alive. i am fine. but i am tired.
work at reddot last night, weeknight trading - man it is QUIET, we closed early. but still stayed back to clean. but yeah... i dont think anyone knows we're open! which is good, for me at least. However as it rapidly approaches Christmas that might change. I can't believe we're open EVERY weeknight for the rest of the month (excl pub hols). So it's been VF or RD... every day or night.. and so it will continue to be, at the look of things.
the vf people from induction were trying to find a night we could all catch up.. and i'm practically not free all the way til new years.
but yes. this is my life at the moment. i apoligise for neglecting you all =(

♥ the blunt truth hurts
from a matchin set, my new phone hanging thingy, ironically given by my bf's student (who flirts with him xD)
i haven't been blogging as much as i usually do, and for that i apoligise.
i've been super busy, working most days, out most nights, and catching up on sleep whenever i can.
and as christmas approaches things are just going to get busier, with some backtoback double shifts at vodafone (8:45am - 9:15pm), but its actually not too bad now =) i'm getting use to it i guess. there's still lots to learn, but at least i can help customers with some things without needing to always ask for help.
last night i was filled with anger at a certain someone. someone who used others. someone who was irresponsible. someone whose actions made me tsktsk. and it really got to me. i kept thinking how can people be like that! so inconsiderate. so immature. so selfish! it just fustrated me SO much. that i just laid in my bed for a while fumed with anger.
yes anger. and it did frustrate me even more when my boyfriend sticks up for that person telling me how it's not my place to judge etc etc. and it sucks even more because i know he's right haha. sighh
sigh, i wish i was stronger. but sometimes i feel like i'm the one that always has to change. i'm the one thats always wrong. and i'm the one that just isn't good enough.
but it's okay. i'm not perfect.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (New Living Translation)
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

♥ time for some reflection.
listening: to nothing-ness
feeling: pain in shoulders back and thighs from badminton last night
laughing at: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=665847
its been a busy few days. super duper busy. not really a "holiday". no relaxing or anything.
lots of organising! walking! events! work!
anywayss.. its time for some self reflection.
i had someone say to me today that im bossy... xP and i know it too!!
but sometimes i dont realize it WHEN i actually am.. i just really like being organised. get things done. dont waste time. but i can often come across as very dictatorship-like ... ^^"
i guess thats one of my faults! definately something i need to work on.
i rmb lewi sayin to me that he could see me in a management sorta position. i guess i could too.
but it's not really what i WANT to do. but its something i could definately do.
ohh we're not all perfect. me included. but yes. i really need to work on it.
i should also work on losing weight.. xP because durin exams i ate soo much crap.
2moro will be filled with REST. sleeping in <3...>
sigh. it will be good to have a break =] my body is aching from baddy yest.
it was quite fun though ^^ havent played in so long. definately should get back into it!
only prob is ... herbie usually opens for fri nites or sun arvo. and most sun arvos ill be workin cauz of christmas trading.. and fri nites are always busy. i guess i should really start going on those afternoon walks.
hmm.. this new beginning isnt starting off too well...~
