♥ the hunt for a black collared shirt
so on saturday vodafone messaged me (yes TEXT MESSAGED ME - i thought it was quite unprofessional, but josh seems to think otherwise) and asked me to start monday!
i asked her what i should wear and she replied saying black collared shirt, black skirt/pants, black shoes etc. and she specifically said NO STRIPES.
*chokes and dies*
a majority of my 'businessy' gear is striped, because i love pinstripe! but i did find a plain black skirt i bought quite a while ago... but all my collared shirts are white... so yes so made the decision to go shopping today (sunday) to hunt for a black shirt at harbor town!
dragged my boyfriend along. well not really dragged. but he came =) and was grumpy at first abt parking but cheered up after a while.
really weird, my body was still aching from a 1/2 hr walk i went on, on sat... T__T which is quite sad, and reflects how unfit i am!
anyways found one in the end, and might i add, how DIFFICULT it is to find a PLAIN black collared shirt.. i even dropped by the city and still went for a look around and didn't see anything. they were all white or white with stripes or black with stripes... but no plain black =[
while dropping by myer i also picked up a shoulder bag. not like a school bag, more of a casual sorta sling thing. which is good because handbags are starting to get to me a little.
oh and mum gave me some stuff she bought in melb. it's quite funny how she went all the way to melb, but she bought me stuff from tempt. ahaha. oh wells. it's not like she ever walked into there while here in perth.
anyways thats it for now. my body aches.
P.S. my sister bought that emotional intelligence book they were talking about in psychology!!! i will have to read it after she does =D i heard its a really good book. and she said that her lecturer mentioned it too.

♥ 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

♥ six months
you can do some pretty awesome stuff with toothpicks
but they can also be pretty dangerous
yesterday i was walking through my front tv room in the dark when i stepped on a toothpick which someone stabbed a hole into my foot. originally i thought i had stepped on a needle, but really it was a toothpick. and it hurt. and bled. and it still kinda hurts as i walked today.
it's been just over a week since my parents have been away, and another week to go. it's been a struggle. really. i was telling andy today that i'm going to live with my parents until im married. i rely on them immensely for food, washing and transport. things that are so time consuming and difficult to live without. really, i heart my parents. and appreciate them so much more.
yesterday was a pretty good day. except for the fact i missed my bus (because alison called with my flight details) and i ended up walking to the shops.. which took a good half an hr.. ahh gg. it reminded me of the days that me and nig use to walk to school because it thought i couldnt do it. like 45min walk! lol.
well today marks 6 months in. i think we're past the whole "winning each other over" stage and into the "putting up with each other" haha. i dont know if its a good thing, because now he's not afraid of farting in front of me -.-" and its kinda ... ... disgusting! lol.
i guess you could say i'm beginning to feel more comfortable around his family, we have good laughs sometimes, but its still awkward at other times. i still kinda feel like they dont think i'm good enough for him. i like talking to his brothers though, because now that my bro is off and married, putting up with a sister just isnt the same.
his household is very different to mine though, in terms of how they do things, chores, dinner at the table - altogether... i guess they're bit more traditionally asian than my family i rekon. even though my family is still asian. hopefully our parents will get along. i think our dads will. idk abt mums though. i can envision it now. how awkward if they both called each other by their names (because they're both named cynthia ahaha)
anyways, back to josh. i think i know most of his bad habits/flaws already. he cracks his knuckles - no matter how many times i tell him off for doing so... he yawns at church without putting his hand over his mouth! he bullies his little brother (oh gosh, reminds me of when my brother use to bully me). haha theres more. but i think we are both continously growing, continously learning. and we want to be better people. and we can help each other do that, but pointing out certain aspects of our personality or our lives that needs improvement. i think its great that we can be so honest with each other. and i think thats pretty important.
i must admit, i rekon we fight a lot. well not fight, but maybe "disagree". haha. we argue. we're both stubborn. maybe even too prideful to drop a point at times. But i think we're both learning to be more understanding, less argumentative, and more loving.
And for me, i have the difficult task of becoming more independent. which wouldn't have been difficult for me a year ago. but because he's such a integrated part of my life... i've been way too dependent on him. hopefully its just a stage. and i'll be out of it soon. geez, i never thought i'd be like i am now haha its so bad.

♥ trying to contain my happiness
haha so this morning i began my trek to his house.
first of all, dropped by the city to return a few things and then train and bus it was.
seriously, that hill to his house from the bus stop, is a pain in the butt... i get so tiredd walking up it.
his mum just pulled up into his drive way just as i was walking past their neighbours house (argh if only she was two minutes earlier she could have saved me from that painful hill~! (note to self: need to get more fit. and now that the weathers lightened up i can actually go on those walks i've been meaning to go on!)
it was good though, that we arrived at the same time because then i didnt have to press the doorbell, because josh was tutoring and i didnt want to distract him, i was just going to sneak into his house by calling his brother to open the door.
but yeah he didn't even realize i had came in xD because i told him i was coming at 1030 and he messaged me at like 1037 asking me what time i was getting there..
ahaha. and we sorta exchanged messages for a bit, even though i was like 10m from where he was. i was like "i'm already here" and he was like "where" and i was like "in ur room" haha. it was funny because his mum and brother didn't mention that i was here already. so he was like o.O
anyways he just popped in not long ago. and it was sooooooo goooooooooooooood to hug and kiss him. i mean skype is cool and all, but nothing compared to actually physically being next to someone. oh and let me point out that even though he was the one who went away, he never had a webcam and where he stayed. so the times we did skype. he could see me, but i couldnt see him. how unfair is that!
anyways. he finishes tutoring in half an hour. so i better do a umat drill to make him happy xD
ahh i sound like a lovestruck teenager. but i am sooo happy right now =]

♥ something wrong
something is wrong with me.
i can't quite pinpoint what it is exactly.
but i seem to be getting more grumpy easily. more annoyed easily. more frustrated easily. more hurt easily.
it's like i've become so vunerable or something.
and i'm not one who likes to be weak.
especially when it comes to admitting weakness.
so what is wrong with me~!
maybe another walk would help, too bad its like pitch black outside... and i live in such an unsafe suburb.. sigh.

♥ walksies
today i went for a walk. it was the first walk i've been on... for a long time.
not just any walk - like the kinda walk i take to the bus stop... or when i'm shopping... but the kinda walk you take, just to do that. walk.
i guess i kinda left the house a bit late ~ 5:10pm...
its amazing how much your neighborhood changes ... i've lived in my home all my life... and i haven't really taken the time to walk around it, for a while now... i use to a lot though, when i was a kid.
so while i was walking i looked around... i saw the new road name signs... i saw the clouds in the sky... the new sign near the pathway about preserving biodiversity...
my mind wandered and thought about many different things...
and then it was already starting to get dark (arghh, i miss you daylight savings)
and i had to head home. so that was the end of my walking adventure.
p.s. i painted my nails black... (my boyfriend has been wanting me to for a while now)
and ... i look emo.Labels: emo, nailpolish, neighborhood, walks
