♥ workkkkkkkkkkk
Well, I've been out of work for a bit lately due to issues with my manager at vodafone.
I've managed to get shifts from other stores though and even some babysitting, which has been really cool.
On Sunday I worked at the Muarry St multibrand store (WOOO for double pay) and learnt a bit about the 3 side of things!
Next week i'm covering a few shifts at VF Murray St, and today when I took grandma shopping I walked into Red Dot and my manager offered me a job on the spot - I didn't even ask! Haha. She was like "Can you come back?!"
So that's pretty cool. Since the store will be doing late night trading hours too. And I told her I was going away after Christmas but she didn't care, she was just happy to have me back to help out for Chrissy.
So I'm still going to cover shifts for other VHA stores. And when I'm not rostered I'll work at Red Dot...
When I get back from holiday, I'll hopefully do a proper store transfer for VHA...
And then WAH-LAH. It all works out :) hopefully, yay.

♥ sleepless
it's now 6:15am... and i've been awake since 4:30am.
i'm usually a decent sleeper. at least i like to think so. not as good as josh though, he pretty much konks out (even when on the phone with me!)
i blame this time partly to the fact that i slept in til like noon yesterday... but josh seems to think i have sleeping issues and wants me to see a doctor..... zzzzzzzz this is what happens when you date a budding doctor, they make a big deal out of not so big things... haha
but anyways, i know i am stressed. when i told vodafone my 'availability' i was not expecting them to roster me EVERY SINGLE AVAILABLE DAY. so now i get no rest. not happy jan.
i'm hoping that my hours will ease up once we get a new assistant store manager. esp because my manager at reddot is going away for a month and need me to cover here and there.. i can see all my study time being chomped on at the moment.... zzzzz
i think i shall socially exclude myself for the next few days, to get some rest. and try to get my hours cut at vf. hopefully they dont even need me, but just stuck me there to give me more hours (but really, i don't want more hours zzz)
anyways. adding to the collection, in time for vallies day... haven't done so for a while!
her name is Adidas Kundo I, size 3 US.
cute huh?
yes, it was time for another girl shoe, the ratio between boy : girl was quite uneven. it was also time for a size other than a 2 US (which seems to also have an uneven ratio to all the other sizes put together)
anyways. now it's 7am. work in 1hr 45min. oh the joys of life.

♥ driving + smartrider + shopping fails
it's been two months and i've only done four hours out of the twenty five. i refuse to 'cheat' too. so yes it may take me months. but i'm not too fussed really. not like i can get my own car til the end of the year anyways.
i am quite furious with transperth however. i've been through four smartriders and they canceled one of them without my permission! something about how i tried to stick it into the UWA portal and so they canceled it -.-" WHYYY WOULD THEY CANCEL IT?! now i have to pay for another card. GRR. very unhappy about that.
work is slowly improving. worked at reddot yesterday. and wasn't very happy because morley's manager came in... and i'm not her biggest fan. i decided to go home to chill before returning later on in the day.
oh and i went shopping yesterday to buy presents for angeline and winnie (the shoes didn't fit doh), plus get a few things i needed like bathers, uni bag, work shoes.. and left harbor town with nothing. i was quite disappointed. after 3 hours of shopping (incl city) i went to work with a packet of socks for jayc's birthday present (which i had to get from like footlocker because the ones at the nike store were sooo dodgy!)
HAHAHA. these are awesome (sorry jayc, couldnt find these or else i would have bought them for you!)
going to play baddy tomorrow for a bit (exercise i seriously need) my tummy has inflated and you know when people call themselves fat but they're not really? well i AM actually FAT. no joke. my tummy sticks out, and you can ask josh if you dont believe me! must cut down on soft drinks at work =/ and fast food. and more exercise. arghh!!
sent my phone to be flashed yesterday.. and i thought i had backed up my contacts but it failed -.-" so only left with my sim contacts (which is only up the the letter "L") so make sure you sms your number (don't forget to say who you are) to me so i can add you...
boyfriend dropped by during my lunch break today. i like surprises :) esp kinder surprises!
anyways sorry for the boring posts! nothing much eventful has happened in my sad life at the moment...
hopefully things will turn around =)

♥ busyBUSYbusy
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 =(

♥ my thursday
well, it start off with lunch with peixin... we tried the fish and chip shop, but it was closed... so the vietnamese place near macdonalds it was!
i forgot that place was quite pricey. and was sad they didn't do the fish like they normally do =[ i have been craving it... only to be slightly disappointed.
dropped by iga to pick up some triple butter popcorn and came back ot my place to watch a double ep of criminal minds *LOVE*
derek morgan *dreamy eyes*
anyways. peixin left (only to return an hour later because i left something in his car =[ sorry pex!)
louis dropped by to fix my computer... sat down and had a chat for a while... then he dropped me off at work (thanks louis!)
had a chat to my manager about starting work at vodafone and how i'm going to try to balance two jobs... was all good. she doesn't want me to leave. so i hope they're more flexible...
i realized i should be careful what i write on my fb because she's one of my fb friends lol xD... glad she still hasn't read my "15 things to remember when visiting reddot" ahaha.
hashan picked me up after work (since i'm parentless, he offered) so i took him for dinner at fast eddys
iced chocolate
entree sized spare ribs
yeah haven't caught up with him in agesssss. so it was pretty good, talking about whats been going on, and life in general... reminiscing our akashi trip and back in high school days. we dropped by gelare too because he was craving icecream.
so anyways. i'm in a bad mood. so i shall go read my book. and go to bed when i feel tired.

♥ hot weather is coming
i can't believe its forecasted to be 32 degrees this saturday...
and i will be stuck at reddot working from 10 - 4pm.
=[ instead of hanging out at the beach.
thinking of canceling looksmart on sunday. was going to work 10.30 - 3.30, but might need to study instead. even though double pay is so appealing, i don't particularly NEED the money... esp since i'm working heaps this wk at reddot :) still not in debt, so yay for financial freedom. will open one of those online saving account thingys soon so i can start getting interest!
exams are looming close. closer than i thought. sixteen days in fact. will try to average a fgpa of 6.5 this semester. but really, i'm happy with anything above 6.2. i hope my hbio mark is better than my anth mark last sem, or else i will be disappointed.
will try to keep everything over a 70 this sem (if anything, chem and hbio will be close)
neeeeeeeed to scrape a 80 for statsss (it's maths! I MUST maintain my love for it!) and hopefully for psyc too! because i didn't really try so much last sem for psyc. and it's not a bad unit, i quite like it.. even though i rarely go to lectures... it is interesting.
i still haven't figured what i'm doing next year. but yeah, it's not the time to lose motivation! must focus on exams... and not let it be a repeat of yr12.
attempting to use my uni breaks more constructively, and it's working. it's difficult when i only have one hr breaks most of the time... so it's not much time but at least we get through some stuff :)
waking up for 9am lectures is becoming increasingly difficult. i'm almost to the point of giving up and just ilecturing. but NO. MUST AT LEAST TRYYYYYYYYYYYY. gahgaghaghah.
that's it for now, i'm exhausted... was falling asleep in my chem lect today.

♥ my walk / sma 1st yr dinner
yesterday i walked home from work..
it was around a 40 minute walk. i was a bit unhappy about it at first, parents were at a festival (which they didnt tell me abt til that day. and sister was out). but i lightened up after i took some time out to just look around at my surroundings and absorb the sunshine and air.
well... that definately was my 30 minutes of exercise for the day... or should i say week.... or even month.
just came back from sma first year dinner, it was really casual and laid back, and we just watched a movie and ate. and even though there weren't many of us, i liked it :) the movie was pretty good too. cept josh kept telling me off for asking questions / saying stuff - oh dear, thats what i do to my mother - tell her off. like mother like daughter eh. he better get use to it =P

♥ 2busy4u
i was only in charge for the last hr at work but i had responsbility of counting the last till which was down $58. sigh, hate when that happens when i'm in charge, because i wonder if they'll lose trust in me if it's always down when im in charge. it's so not my fault though, i counted the money three times to check it. sigh! wish the counter girls were more careful.
i've got heaps of hours nxt wk cauz they're doing a refit ~ 20hrs. yay for money x) finally some hours! no tests nxt wk too..
coming home from work i looked into the dark blue sky. and saw some stars. the moon wasn't there though. but when i looked up i knew it was somewhere, you just couldn't see it.
my boyfriend's been pretty busy lately. it use to be me the busy one but now it's so role reversal. he's always studying on skype or in the library with his friends. which is great for uni, but i wish there were more hours in a day. sitting by myself in the library studying is just so lonely. but he doesn't like to study with me, because we dont do the same course so he can't ask me questions x) and plus, even if we did the same course i doubt i'd be any help anyways xD
on the road to finding some study buddies... because i find when i just go to the library and sit down with whoevers there we just end up talking. where as if i set fixed study session times, maybe we'll get study done?
even if it's not people in my units.. like studying with chris last sem worked pretty well.
but yeah idk if it's really studying or not i need. or just catching up x)
either way, must make more use of my spare uni breaks. i shall make a hour by hour timetable in attempt to be more organised.
exams are kinda soon =/ and it's 1am so i should go bed now.
'til next time

♥ rollercoaster day at work
my up and down day at work...
sigh, what a day.
P.S. we have already started stocking christmas stuff. dude. it's september.. *counts fingers* there's a good three months to go......
- the senior went on lunch break as soon i got to work (1pm) so i was left in charge.
- an aboriginal lady walked out of our store with lipstick slipped into the back of her pants, i could do nothing, she already left the store, but a customer was nice enough to let me know
- two of my high school teachers dropped by, ms pearson - a nice relief teacher, and mr uren - my awesome calc teacher. it was nice to see them and have a chat, but i could feel my supervisor eye-ing me as i stood there and talked to them.
- there were several things mispriced / mistagged. it was frustrating. very. frustrating.
- i served a customer with bits of her skin picked off. you know, kinda like those images they put on tv or ads to scare you about taking drugs. where they believe theirs bugs under their skin so they pick at it... at first i just saw it on her face, then she took off her jacket telling me how 'it gets hot when ur walking around hey'.... then i saw it all over her arms. at first i thought they were burns from cigarette butts (ahh criminal minds!) but then i realized they weren't burns, they were fresh wounds.
sigh, what a day.

♥ i am blessed
the past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me.
+ the stress of the lead up to the umat
+ the many trials and difficulties that put a strain on my relationship with josh
+ the feeling of seeing my first cadaver
+ the stress of beginning uni again, and picking up a subject that i have no background knowledge of
+ the fear of disappointment from my zonta club, once they hear of my setbacks
+ my parents going away, and the dog not eating, or having to spend much of my night doing things like washing or feeding the dog or preparing my lunch for the next day - instead of studying
+ the sickness and exhaustiveness that comes when you get ur period
there has been nights where i have just cried myself to sleep. nights were i have questioned God about His plans for my life. nights where i could hardly sleep. nights where i would just konk out due to pure exhaustiveness.
Chris Tomlin's music, has provided me with so much comfort these past few weeks. I listen to the album, Arriving, on shuffle and loop and repeat on my phone, josh's ipod and my laptop. I can't even pick one song to stick up on here, because i rekon they are all just awesome. Oh, here's one, i like how they put the words and images on this one..
as i reflect on the past year, and more so the past six months, i've realized some things. some things good. some things bad.
i believe i've become too emotionally dependant on my boyfriend. i believe i haven't been managing my time wisely. i believe i have been to quick to judge people.
but on a better note... i believe i've reached financial freedom. six months ago i was maybe $700 in debt. today, i am now a source for borrowing money from my family. i also believe i've been eating healthier. well slightly. im getting there, but i dont think i've had kfc for a while. hehe. and when it comes to regular exercise... i still haven't reached there yet. but i will! haha.
Late september, I will be flying to VIC to speak at the Zonta International District 23 Conference. Actually at the beginning of the dinner on Wed night, Alison had told me that the district couldn't jusitfy flying me over there for a 10 minute speech. But yesterday i recieved the good news, that after i left, the club decided that they would cover my expenses to fly me over there. I will probably leave on a Friday, and get back in time for uni on the Monday. so praise God =)
Well today i was meant to be working, but they took me off because a lady came in for the whole of the week to cover my manager who went for training. This will give me a good opportunity to get some things done.. e.g. clean my room... xD and catch up on the lectures i missed yest - oh dear, when buses go on strike... it sucks =(...
oh i bought some pretty boxes from work too (to put my shoes in) i bought the second and last one. the first one i've got a smaller version (well actually its joshs but for some reason its sitting in my room) and the third one i've got a big white version already from my birthday from lauf.
i think i have a gift box fetish. or it might just be because i work at reddot. xD but they're pretttyyy awesome.
oh oh i got my lab coat for chem xD its got the uwa logo on it ahahaha. i will take a picture of how nerdy i look in it and post it one day.
meantime... off to clean my room i go... but first i will get something to eat... mmm

♥ first wk of sem 2
tomorrow will complete the first week of uni for semester two.
and wow, getting use to waking up relatively early, is a pain.
i've been late to every lecture (except wednesday, when i started at 10pm, rather than 9pm)
but really.. what is with traffic in the morning?! today was especially bad... =____=" took me more than an hr to get to uni... gah. i miss sleeping in already.
well my units this semester are... stats (maths), organic chemistry, psychology II, human bio II.
now.. i didn't do human bio I, so im slightly struggling with the terminology... and where everything is. everyone says that i'll be fine, that i'll catch up and that i'll get use to it, but to be honest i'm worried and wondering if i should switch / drop. i mean in one way, i know i can't avoid it - eventually i'll have to do it for bed. but in another way... i dont know if i can get a distinction for it, and if i can't it means my gpa will drop, which will lower my chances of transfering. so i'm sorta torn in two i guess.
psychology II is good, the lecturer is pretty good. interesting at least. since i've done semester one, i now know to study off the book (since the exam is based on book and not lectures, because most of the lectures aren't always relevant, but interesting and fun all the same)
stats... i heart maths. but so far stats has been pretty =/.. its basically just words on a slide. no working out stuff or anything =( but hopefully it gets better. the lecturer has quite a strong accent, i think its german.
chem.. hmm supposingly this chem is harder than last sem which is a major worry cauz it was my weakest last sem. but so far it seems ok. i guess he starts with the basics though, so i gotta make sure i keep up and buy the book (and actually read it) and do all the problems and ask questions when i dont understand stuff.
anyways.. other random thoughts:
+ i've been quite bitchy/judgey lately, well josh points out anyways. bad habits creeping back on me. will have to be more careful and wary of the things i say...
+ sometimes what you want and what you don't mind are two very different things. but i guess its important to be content and satisfied.
+ i expect my boyfriend to not be selfish and be able to share me with my friends without getting edgey. as i should do the same back. but sharing isn't always easy, though i think i find it easier than he does.
+ i seemed to be getting a bit more annoyed easily lately, maybe i'm more edgey that i think
+ oh today i creeped into my bf's lecture. it was a 1 hr 45min lecture. and i walked in with 30min to go. and my attempt to be discreet (by going by the back down) failed. she stopped talking and looked at me and asked me if i was a med student. and if i was in the right class. and i just looked at her blankly. and then she explained how they have been getting lots of law students coming in and out. yes. everyone stared at me and some laughed because they knew i wasn't haha. about 5 minutes later another girl walked in and sat nxt to me in the back row. obviously not a med student, but the lecturer didn't stop to ask her questions. but she did throw some looks at her haha.
+ gosh, i must walk funny or something. i have a hole in the back of my boots. phew they were only 10 bucks. yeah the back of my boots kept scraping along the ground, maybe the bottom bit isn't high enough, or maybe i just walk funny that i lean my heel too far back. it lets water in if i step into puddles. so its kinda pointless considering i still have to avoid puddles while wearing boots. its warm though.
+ i am fat. my boyfriend has fun poking my fatty stomach. i know i've gained weight. it's winter. plus i often go into phases where i don't actually care so much. hahaa, it's good to know my boyfriend will still stick by me, despite being fat. i wonder if he'll still like poking my stomach when im super fat like when im pregnant, however, i dont think thats too good for the baby.
+ today i worked. mainly recovery. the store looks good. hehe, also my manager mentioned rotating thurs nights in a 1 to 3 rotating basis. hence one thurs my manager will do it, the the next thurs the senior will do it, and the next thurs after that will be me. i think i get alternate saturdays now. which is good, i think every sat might be too much. but at least i know i'm getting at least one shift a week =)
+ lighthouse launch tomorrow. nysf district selection sat (oh judging will be fun!). umat wed. 18th party on sat. night service on the sun. zonta dinner on wed.
+ josh is coming over tomorrow! for dinner. haha.
+ having friends in every class has its pros and cons. it's great. because you have company and u can study together and ask questions. but i guess i don't make as much of an effort to make more new friends. haha. but i think its ok, because most people in 2nd sem already have their lil friend groups. and my mum always complains i have too many friends already. once she told me to unfriend them because i spent too much money on bdays etc xD.
anyways thats all for now. i should sleep. otherwise i wont be able to get up in the morning againn. and i'm quite exhausted.

+ i am fat. my boyfriend has fun poking my fatty stomach. i know i've gained weight. it's winter. plus i often go into phases where i don't actually care so much. hahaa, it's good to know my boyfriend will still stick by me, despite being fat. i wonder if he'll still like poking my stomach when im super fat like when im pregnant, however, i dont think thats too good for the baby.
+ today i worked. mainly recovery. the store looks good. hehe, also my manager mentioned rotating thurs nights in a 1 to 3 rotating basis. hence one thurs my manager will do it, the the next thurs the senior will do it, and the next thurs after that will be me. i think i get alternate saturdays now. which is good, i think every sat might be too much. but at least i know i'm getting at least one shift a week =)
+ lighthouse launch tomorrow. nysf district selection sat (oh judging will be fun!). umat wed. 18th party on sat. night service on the sun. zonta dinner on wed.
+ josh is coming over tomorrow! for dinner. haha.
+ having friends in every class has its pros and cons. it's great. because you have company and u can study together and ask questions. but i guess i don't make as much of an effort to make more new friends. haha. but i think its ok, because most people in 2nd sem already have their lil friend groups. and my mum always complains i have too many friends already. once she told me to unfriend them because i spent too much money on bdays etc xD.
anyways thats all for now. i should sleep. otherwise i wont be able to get up in the morning againn. and i'm quite exhausted.

♥ boss for the day =)
ahaha today i was in charge! all day. by myself. no one came in to help me.
it was great! slightly stressful at times. but good =)
money wise, we were only $3 short, which is a relief =)
kocie kept calling me boss xD it was kinda funny. he was like "ok boss"
there was a slight issue with a customer complaining that she was looking at the tubs, when a suitcase fell back and hit her in the head... i think she's going to try to file for compensation... i dont really get how that suitcase fell without anyone touching it, they stand so sturdy. all wells, got her details, called my manager and filled out an incident report.
we were meant to do a full recovery of the store (incl sweep underneath) but we didnt really get time to do that. but yeah we got most of the stock out so its all good
hopefully its good enough!
P.S. they found out why we were short $130 last thurs. *phew*. so in the end we weren't really short.

♥ my first night in charge @ RD =D
i am soooooooo tireddd
today i begun work at 12.
there was two conversations i had today, that took me back a bit and made me think.
the first one was with the full timer. she's 20 or something like that. and getting married next year. she's... a tad weird. she like takes off her sneakers to show her "blue" foot to customers saying how she walked into something blahbah) i was really shocked to find out she was getting married, because i didn't find her mature enough to handle a marriage. but then again, i guess im being pretty judgmental.
she told me today she had found out why she was sick the past two days - and i asked her how come. and she was like. in her exact words "im screwed". and i just stood there looking at her. and was like "ur pregnant?!" and yeah, i asked her what she was going to do, and she said she was going to wait til parents on both sides calmed down to discuss it properly. but she kept laughing while she told me her partner fainted when she told him.
yeah what caught me back was that she told me her mother said she was too young (as expected) and she didn't want her to keep it. i asked her what she wanted, and she said she had no say anyways. hmmm...
my second conversation was with the senior. i said something about how she should quite smoking =P and she was like "dont tlecture me girl!!" hahaha. and then i was like "i tried to get merida to quit, especially because she was pregnant" and the senior told me she quit when she was pregnant, but she still didn't help, she lost her twins. and i was like =/ and kinda lost for words.
anyways, those two conversations made me think quite a bit hmm.. esp because it was such a long day.
it wasn't until 5:15pm though, that i was left in charge. ahh.. it was tiring, stressful. especially this customer who caused such a confusion. i had to refund like 20 items. and put them through the till again -.-" and i kinda screwed up a bit... ^^"
yeah the other till ended up like $130 down =/ which is A LOT. i hope it doesnt reflect my managing skills, but yeah they need to talk to the girls on till =/ because... thats crazy.
otherwise, i cut myself like twice. argh! i dont like how my job involves so much physical work >__>
saturday - i'm opening the shopp! and in charge all dayyyyyyyy... with no help =/.
at least today the senior came back to help me cash up... but i'll be doing it all by myself on sat! gotta rmb to do payroll and all that stuff !!
*wooshhhaa*

♥ byebyebub
naw, my boyfriend leaves to america in 2 days, *sadface*...
i will miss him dearly, but it will also be a good time to rediscover myself.
not to say i've lost myself because of him... but maybe i haven't had as much time as i use to.
since i finished my exams (on monday), i've got quite a bit done...
got my proof of age card done... still working through getting my passport done... i went to my 18yo follow up with raine study... watched oceans 13 at josh's house... went to sizzlers for dinner... worked thurs night / sat morn... went ice skating...
and tomorrow will consist of church, family lunch at my place, then family dinner at his place... ( i think )
on another note.. i ended up getting shoessss... there wasn't really any pretty air maxes left, and the superstar inserts had really ugly coloured inserts O_O im talking like green stripes and purple bubbles...... yess... so i just got these, nice and simple. (shh, they're guy shoes...)
health wise, i'm not feeling too flash, i've been getting stomach pains in the past 24 hours, and i'm not sure why. it's not that time of the month (even though i've been super moody)... it might be the sizzlersss... doh.
i have quite a bit of a headache now too, so i might nap for while... before going for a walk (if my feet can handle it because they're in pain from ice skating and its really windy outside...) and cleaning my room... and still filling up that box for josh to take with him. oh and i need to order twloha and relient k tonight... *makes mental list of things to do*
oh on a finishing note, quite a few people came through reddot today and were pregnant... i felt like asking them when they were due, but thought i'd probably sound a bit freaky / weird. and then there were all these cute kids ice skating as well. hehe, they skated better than my bf... xD
p.s. my nailpolish is chipping... sigh, and i thought rimmel would be descent =( i'm getting use to the black though, it was really freaky at first hehe.

♥ underwear from reddot anyone?
yesterday i realized that good days can turn sour really quickly.
making them turn back into good, is really difficult.
it takes time, and effort. but sometimes when u feel like crap, it's not that easy to turn things around.
anyways. i must share this. i had a customer today who told me that he wasn't sure what size underwear he was. he was holding a box of "calvin classics" a ripp of of calvin klein i think...
first, he asked me if we had changerooms, so he could try them on. and i was like "uhh no." then he asked me if we had any kinda room, just so he could see which size he was. and i said no again -___-" i mean geez, i dont think he got the point.. we're reddot man. who the hell buys underwear from us, let alone expects a changeroom to try them on?!
and then he asked me if he could return them if they were the wrong size. and i really plainly said no. because..... ew? health regulations man.
and then, i told him i'd go ask someone........ so i went to get jade, who's a transfer from another store, but when i was telling her abt the man i couldn't stop laughing.
she eventually came back to me after a while and she put her hand to her head in a gun suicide sorta action and i couldn't stop laughing. she told me that he had asked her if he could take it for 10 minutes, just to go to the toilets or something. and she was like "NO!"
ahahahahaa zmgsh? whats with customers now a days xD

♥ anth assignment & sex before marriage
So my anthropology assignment is due in less than 20 hours . . .
I'm currently eating rice (with sauce - man rice with that sauce thing - not soyasauce but the sauce u get when buying cooked meat from asian places) cucumber and duck (<3>
I just finished working 5:30 - 9pm. And i basically spent most of the day out of the house.
I guess u could say i was feeling pretty cruddy in the mid afternoon today.
My assignment wasn't close to being completed. My boyfriend was disappointed in me. The worry and stress was starting to build up. I started to realize that if it's med that I'm aiming for - I'm definately not acting like it.
I'm really blessed to have a boyfriend who looks out for me. Even though I get annoyed at him at times... maybe because he sometimes acts like my parents - on my back about this and that. But i know its because he cares. genuinely cares for me. He helps me. Worries for me. Looks out for me. Thinks for me. But most of all, he prays for me... especially because i dont like to ask to be prayed for... i dont like to trouble people i guess.
other than that.. this is whats on my mind. and i must blog abt it before i start my assignment.
a friend of mine... "friend"... more like class mate... she use to go to my school. she had her ultrasound pictures up on facebook. she was 3 months in! its a boy. yeah, she's 17yo, but i admire her for keeping the baby. it makes me happy to know she kept it. well she was happy in a relationship with her bf (father of the baby)... until today =/ she changed her relationship status to single and had this massive 'bitch' in her status =/.
It made me sad to know, that she may be bringing up this child without the father. But i guess u could say it made me think... think about relationships. kids. sex before marriage.
I find it really good how i can talk openly to my boyfriend about these things. How we share the same values, morals and beliefs. How we value and respect each other, and each other's bodies. How we seek deeper meaning in a relationship, rather than just the physical aspect.
I really hope that "friend" works things out. That she has a safe pregnancy. That the father of her son, will be there to support her - and not just financially, but physically, mentally and emotionally.
I thank God that I'm blessed with a boyfriend who supports me... looks out for me... cares for me... shares with me... worries for me... helps me... respects me... values me.
I couldn't ask for anything more!

♥ getting back to the usual...
ahh. work today.
it seems that tour is starting to be more in the "past"
and life is settling back to how it use to be..
except for all these daymn uni enrollment stuff i gotta do =.=" sigh
and once again its busybusybusy for me.
my to-do-list is long... currently only 6 things long (each taking somewhere between 10minutes to 4 hours to do)
but dont worry. that list will get longer.
everyones 18ths will pop up... not to mention everyones farewells.
uni will start... and i will be out of the house more...
i will need to work... to pay off debts...
so today was my first day back at work after tour... it was stocktake - my first time doing it really. haha. it meant counting up the number of items we had... so i had the job of doing all the cards and wraps (yay)... there ended up being a total of 5000+ cards? and another... 2000 wraps? ohhh.. i took me maybe 4-5 hours to count all those... then i moved onto the dvds which were all over the place... (yay...........). i also did the mats.. mmm i was meant to do the cds - but ran outta time? maybe i was too slow.. but i thought i was doing it at a good pace. the dvds screwed me over though. i didnt realize they were all over the place at first. sigh~
its alright. we have new managers.. i think they're just temporary. but quite strict... o_O bag checks n stuff at the end of work - before i go home... but they're good at their job. the store looks much cleaner than it use to. so yeah, its cool. i kinda liked doing stocktake today - it was much better than cleaning stuff.. it actually required u to think. hehe.
ahh. back to busyness.
its okay. i plan on being organised this year. i will make time for important things. for important people.
but i will need their understanding... that i will not always have the time. but i will always need their support.

♥ stoooopid customers
Okay. So for those who dont know, i'm workin at reddot....
and i've come across some pretty dodgy customers while working there..
like today. i had a lady who "claimed" that her $5 baubels come down to $3 after a 20% off discount (cauz all christmas baubels are 20% off)
and it took me a while to stand there and explain to her that 20% off $5 is actually only $1... and $5 - $1 is actually $4.....
GG. and then she claimed that the sign hanging up said "$3" and so i went all the way there to the aisle and pulled off the sign, picked up the REAL thing that was $3, and showed her what item was actualy $3... (the sign was ABOVE the $3 thing.. where as she picked up the $5 thing that was above the sign)
anyways. i got super annoyed at the girl at work today. she was just being so.. !@&*^#*@!%#@!^#%&!@^%#*!@&#^*!@
= . = " she was just so annoying. i got really sick of it. cauz i went on till to "help" her. cauz it was busy right. and she complained that i was "stealing" her bags. like u know the reddot bags we put customers stuff in? yeah O_O she complained cauz i was takin it from her "side"... zmgsh T.T
but i told my manager/supervisor lady.. that she was getting on my nerves. and i asked her to take me off till... and put another girl on.
GG.. i dont know how long i can put up with her. some of the guys at work are alright though... and the manager / supervisor lady i had today is good too. but man.. some of the customers and the people i work with are like.. G_G
i hope the annoying people leave soon.. and the good people stay. then maybe i will stay too. otherwise... i dont think i can last much longer there... Q_Q
