♥ Saving!
it's PAYDAY
and seeing money in my bank account makes me happy, because I've been eating into my savings a bit over the Christmas period, so I was able to pay that back, phew.
On the topic of money, I think being brought up in a Western society, and always being supported by my parents... money has never really gotten to me that much. I've never really worried about being short on money. But I guess as I get older, there are more things to think about... About celebrating a 21st, getting a new car... a wedding later down the track. And I have to remember that the more deeper I get into med - the less I'll be able to work - as the course becomes more demanding.
I've always tried to save half of what I earn at Vodafone, because I work so little at Reddot, I generally just spend whatever I earn from there...
But during the semester - and especially during exam time, I tend to eat through my savings a bit. I will take "loans" from my savings account... most of which I haven't paid back! And once you add them up, they total to around 2k! And all my travel flight costs and holiday spending money generally come out of my savings too.
Well this year, I'll be in my second year of med, and I'm hoping I can work at least 2 shifts a week ~ 15hrs, that should bring me an income of around $300/wk. Put away half for savings, then minus tithing, TEAR, sponsor child, phone bill, and I'll still have roughly $100/wk to spend... but then again, lunch at uni, a friend's birthday and breakfast or dinner with another friend or the bf, and even that gets chewed up pretty quickly.
But then technically, even though I put half away for 'savings', I still end up eating through it for travel / exam time etc... so... time to think of a new saving strategy?
As well as a better paying job?
I think so.

♥ random thoughts
x. my dog is super cute. lovelovelove.
x. i am 6hrs worth of lectures behind. it's been a fail study afternoon. i was totally on top of everything on monday... then a few days fly by and i've got a meeting here and a training session there and catch up with a friend here and BAM, behind once again...
x. really need to start that assignment. and preparing for my midsem. mMmmmMHhmmm.......
x. i'm physically quite tired. i dislike having to go into uni everyday (and going into work the one day i don't have to)... why couldn't they put all the labs and tutes on the same day :(
x. got exempted of the second year elective.. BOOYEAH. that's right. those 16 units in two years did not go totally to waste... ....
x. i hardly find time to catch up with lectures, let alone study. STUDY? what is study?
x. been working only one day a week... sometimes i wake up and i don't feel like going, but once i'm there, it's pretty cool, i like the team i work with... but only doing one day a week means less $$$... ahhhh.
x. i am broke. i have no money. for cereals. i am slowly eating into my savings. BAD. VERY BAD. meant to be saving for thailand trip and car..... yeaaaaaaaah.
x. i totally made a study schedule. yup. made one. haven't been following it. all these unexpected and extra things keep popping up... gah =/ doesn't help that it takes me like twice as long to ilecture something, than if i actually just went to the lecture in the first place (but seriously, who wakes up for 8/9am lectures? waaaaay to early >.<)

♥ dentist & work
went to the dentist on monday. well, i rushed there from my meeting which ended up being like 3x longer than i thought it would be.
surprisingly it wasn't too bad, in fact the dentist said my teeth was quite good and just the the regular clean and fluoride thing. i must admit, it's thanks to the electric toothbrush. i'm hoping now that josh has started using the one i bought him, that he will get a similar response from the dentist.
today i worked and we had a staff meeting after. i don't know, i like our store, it's a good environment to work in. so much better than when i was working at mirrabooka, despite having to travel into town... it's still worth it.
speaking of work, i've been working nearly everyday. either at voda or at reddot. which is good, because i'm in broke. and in debt to my savings account which i have eaten into (when it's meant to be untouched)
this is a very boring post, sorry!
getting my hair done on thursday, still haven't decided what colour. josh is devo, he wants me to grow out my hair until it's really long but i told him i'd ask them not to cut off too much. yay kinda excited, haven't cut my hair since............. malaysia in january.
that's it for now!

♥ life is good
it's funny, because when i blog i am usually stressed. annoyed. angry. frustrated.
but life is good. and i am blessed.
exams are a week away. and i rest.
last week i was slightly concerned about taking leave for the thailand mission trip in jan. after nearly losing my job last year because of my cambo vwap... but i told myself i was going to go anyways, even if i lost my job. and my leave was approved! hallelujah (:
three units, four exams. and i'm not freaking out. i'm not stressed. and that's not because i'm prepared - because i am far from prepared, i haven't done past papers, practice questions, haven't finished writing/reading notes, and haven't even learnt all the unit's content yet.
but i rest. i rest knowing that God could get me into medicine, and He can surely get me through it.
His grace is more than sufficient.

♥ back at home
i'm back! yes i arrived back in perth this morning, after 12 days in cambodia and another 10 in KL...
i would blog in more detail, but i'm feeling rather lazy and i haven't got my pictures to add to my posts because i left my SD card in Huy's laptop =(
but in good news, i've come back and still have a job! in fact i'm working like 4 days a week for the next few weeks.. but my employment / store-transfer thing still hasn't been confirmed so nothings too definate yet
and in not so good news, i didn't get an offer for first rounds but i surprisingly took the lack of an offer quite well and it didn't bother me too much. i think the boyfriend was more dissappointed than i was haha. i am trying to rest, and it is easier when you know that despite whatever happens, God has a plan for meeee.
second rounds come out early feb, will keep you posted :)

quite funny that no one knew his name xD (except me, of course)

♥ revolve around me

oh well. work party tonight. even though i don't even really work there anymore. i am going to go because it's free alcohol and good company.

♥ 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.

♥ unhappy
unhappy.
about 3 things in particular.
#1. how annoying my sister is.. like seriously, she does not shut up. note to self: the more you help her, the more she's going to bug you - so moral of story: don't help her.
#2. how the new manager has cut my hours down to 5/week.. like WTH? totally disliking this new manager more and more... i want my old manager back :(
#3. i put this as my fb status last night "sometimes you wonder how your best friend can change so much... right before your very eyes... to the point where.. even you don't know what to do anymore" and i've gotten such depressing comments on it! like geez =/ not giving up on him that easily..

edit: a couple of hours later...
let me just emphasise point number #1 again.
Monday 12:25pm
Email - her to me
"My iphone arrived today!! BUT nick also emailed me and i just realised that vodaphone charges 90c per minute plus 35c flagfall :( are they going to change this soon? 3 only charges 35c per 30 seconds..."
Monday 1:15pm
She makes a phone call to me asking me if i read her email and complaining about call rates again.
The phone line cuts out and I write her back an email at
Monday 1:23pm
Email - me to her

THE RATES FOR BOTH 3 AND VODAFONE ARE NOW THE SAME 90CENT PER MINUTE + 35CENT FLAGFALL
ONLY YOUR OLD PLAN WAS 35CENTS PER 30 SECONDS - BUT IF YOU STAYED ON THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN A NEW PHONE
YOU SHOULD DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON PHONE PLANS IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE THAT PICKY AND ANNOYING ABOUT IT. "kudos to josh for making it colourful in my email.
Monday 8pm
her: *walks into my bedroom* it doesn't tell you how long to charge it for

♥ VHA Mid Year Party
VHA Mid Year party was last night!
Definately felt better than the last party and this could be due to several reasons
#1. Having worked at Vodafone for longer (the first party I went to, I had only worked for like a month)
#2. Knowing more people (from other stores and functions etc) and hence being able to talk to more people
#3. Feeling more comfortable introducing yourself to new people
#4. RINA CAME (she got the job at the one in the city!!)
#5. Music was good, free flowing alcohol was also good
Got some awesome pictures that night!!! I had my blue contacts on (not the aussie flag ones haha)!
Totally felt the consequences this morning of not drinking any water last night =/... woke up at like 6am dehydrated and had trouble falling back asleep only to wake up again to get to work at 8:45am.. lovely......
It was my first time at the Luxe bar, and it's actually pretty nice there, cept the drums were really loud (it was quite odd they played music through speakers but had one guy playing drums to the beat of the music loL!), and the place was quite small but then again I didn't realize there was a downstairs. nice but small i reckonnnn

♥ Lydia's List
during my time at the social justice workshops that church held, i decided to partner with TEAR as a financial supporter for the Lydia's List project
I've always usually been one who donates my time / effort but lately I've found myself bogged down with uni, work, umat, life in general that I haven't really picked up that many commitments as I use to.
But you know, now that i've been working at Vodafone, I've been earning a pretty decent income. Much of this has gone into savings for a new car... another portion to my expenses (which has also increased as my income increase)
So with the realization of the amount of money I waste on food at broadway or on pointless presents for my boyfriend or on online shopping...
how can i not spare at least some of what i earn for someone who needs it so much more?
I really like the lydia's list because it's focus in on women and i think that it's so true how by helping women you help their family too. "Women in developing countries invest up to 90 percent of their income in their families."
So today in the mail I recieved a Welcome to Lydia's List" letter and a cute little bag tag. It reminded me of fair trade products and how I use to walk all the way to the Oxfam shop to look around. Might need to make that trip again, sometime after exams.
I love it! It's so cool I rekon. Made from rice paper bags!
And you know, it's the little things that we can do that can make such a difference to someone else...
So to finish this blog entry, I'll leave you with a story of how TEAR Australia is supporting women in India, Nepal and Bangladesh
Sajeda Begum wanted her three daughters to receive an education, but she and her husband had barely enough money for their daily needs, let alone school expenses. When Sajeda joined a women's self-help group established by Symbiosis Bangladesh she told the other women her dream. They encouraged her to make it a reality. So after careful planning, Sajeda took a loan of 2, 200 taka ($35) from the group's savings pool and opened a small nursery. Now her loan is paid off, her business is triving - and her daughters are all at school!

♥ dt + green tea ice cream = a happy dt
green tea icecream
YUM!
i blame the girls for getting me into it..
but i found out the japanese restaurant in broadway sells it for $2.50 and it was really creamy hey.
and then the next day i went looking at kongs also in broadway, and they sell an italian version, which was really nice also for $2.50
and i remember last time i went with a few of the girls to that asian restaurant on the corner and got some there to.
eventually, i would have tried all the green tea available in broadway! that shall be my mission for the rest of the semester. should be pretttyyy easy :)
so anyways today i had my first maths test, and i really did a lot of practice questions in preparation, so i felt good with the amount of work i did. alas i did not study the theory aspect however.....
so i made that part up, but writing something is better than nothing (as long as what i wrote doesn't make me sound stupid =/...) so hopefully i still end up with a decent mark..
now i must admit, i am getting slightly stressed with my workload. and i feel sorta stupid about it, because at this point of my life, i am actually not doing that much (outside uni and work) in comparison to my high school days. so these stress levels are not what i would expect. i think it has to do with motivation, rather than just a time issue.
so it's mid semester break next week... and despite being a nice holiday for most, unfortunately that is not the case with myself =[...
it will consist of a lot of easter related events / church services, two lifegroups, two birthdays, quite a few days of work, yoty state finals, and of course studying for all my tests and doing all my assignments.
two tests (psyc & stats) and one assignment (stats) due the first week back, another assignment (psyc lab report) due the week after... not the mention more assignments and tests to finish the month of may.
SIGH.
oh and did i mention? my parents have departed on their little adventure... leaving me with my sister. and you might all be thinking that this is great and tthat i love it, but really when my parents are gone, my sister is just as (if not more) protective than my parents... GREAT!
and she always leaves me to do all the watering of dads plants, and feeding the dog and all that....... -.-"
anyways, i should stop procrastinating and complaining and do something useful.
sigh, could really do with some green tea icecream right about now...

♥ VROOOOOOM
tsktsk. haven't blogged in nearly a week! how very bad of me.
so what have i been up to?
uhh =/.... *checks diary*
oh yes, thats right.
had my first assignment due monday. man i hope i got a hd for it, its only worth 10%, but yeah =( wasted more time on it than i should have.
i started tutoring again, for the year. same student as last year, and her little brother too. they've got some state testing thing coming up, so prepping them up for that...
saturday i had work, then victa's '90s bday at night xD. did the regional judging for yoty on sunday. such a super long day heyy... started at 9pm, got home at like 7:30pm. it was hot too... but a good experience i guesss
anyways. TODAY i drove a MANUAL CAR. and it was louis' AHAHAA. so many cars honked at me =[. i haven't driven manual in like 4 months OKAY -___- i forgot to change to 2nd gear...... which made the car jerk heaps... zzz
but w/e, louis car is like pretty hard to drive. looking forward to nig letting me drive his =D...
money wise, i'm really proud of myself for how much i've saved. however. if i step back and look at it.. i've actually spent quite a bit, even though i've saved more than half of what i earntt...
half way there to a car. however i believe that my trip to malaysia in june will eat into a chunk of my savings, unfortunately.
so i got this free phone from work. which im trying to sell for $200. then i want to use that money to buy myself another phone (one that i actually want) for $350.
YES OKAY. so in actual fact i'm just spending an extra $150 then i have to. i've had josh, my mother AND louis tell me that it's pointless and silly. because my contract expires end of yr. but thats SO FAR AWAY.
andAND i want the new samsung jet in white NOW =[ and i should be able to treat myself!!!!!!!!!!! esp for working ALL of summer. GEEZ.
plus when my contract ends i'll prob get a more hardcore phone. can u believe it, i'm actually considering the iphone, even though i hate apple. or i really like the n97 mini xD... but who knows. by the end of the year a new range of phones will be out *sighhh* working at a phone store makes u even more phone crazyy!~
anyways, i'm becoming quite a fan of this gumtree website. thats where i advertised my f480. might also put up an ad for my ball dress / bridesmaid dress... and get rid of some of the stuff thats sitting around in my room haha.
ANYWAYS. off to work i go.

♥ vodafone prezzies
nawws, working at vodafone has it's advantages!
today (well, now that its past midnight, it would be yesterday) a customer bought me flowers!
quite cute huh? same orchids that josh bought me for 1yr
he was a funny customer. he came in the day before because he had pressed the wrong pin into his phone, so it had locked itself. but we couldn't give him the puk code because he wasn't the account holder of the mob number (and he didn't know the pin). and like his mate was waiting at the airport for him, and he kept going on about how its the worst thing to do, ditch ur mate etc etc.. he was realllyyy full on, it was a bit scary haha. but somehow i was still able to get into his contact list, then i just let him use our work phone to call his friend. and yeah, comes back the next day and i was dealing wiht a customer. so he dissappears and comes back again with flowers.
and then the day before a customer gave me like a $15 tip???? which is really odd. because uhh, it's vodafone. it's not normal to tip o__O.. and i told him not to worry about it, but he was really persistant about it. but anyways. it was funny because he only bought 2 x $29 headsets? he was pretty nice though, had lots of questions. he probably should have invested that $15 into getting a new phone (seriously, his phone was like older than my mums haha)
and the other week a lady named mary bought me chocolates, because i helped her buy a phone for her husband. she's a funny one. she came back so many times. first time to recharge her phone. second time to buy her husbands phone. third time to ask me where to stick the charger. fourth time to figure out how to use the camera and send a txt msg for her. and like fifth time to say the phone had fallen out of her husbands pocket in some random field up north. haha. she's so cute though.
haha. vodafone has its benefits i guess. i didn't realize how generous people were. we've had customer buy us donuts and go to the effort of writing nice emails to our manager... it's pretty cool. to get acknowledged for good customer service ;)
man, u never get this stuff working for reddot

♥ 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.

♥ thoughts running through my head
- + i am somewhat glad that my lifegroup might possibly be backing up the events the leos club will be a part of, once that gets up and running. it assures me of a few more people that i know i can rely on consistently.
- + i need to contact the societies council president about the leos club... hmm i'll get to that on monday
- + pete's funeral is on monday. i think i'll go. i should go.
- + my boyfriend said he'd call me after work today. he didn't. tsktsk!
- + i did a bit more shopping today. it's so hard not to, when the shoe shop is right across from my workplace...
- + i'm quite excited that my church has caught onto something greater... that we have started planning to move into the community. that we're adding a bit of social justice flavour to it too. love it.
- + i hate the fact that my nailpolish chips so easily *shakes fist at revlon*
- + had a play around with the new samsung jet today. its not bad aye. pretty cheap too!
- + the manager is back at work. she did a lot of cleaning haha. she's very particular with a lot of things. everything needs to be in place. i guess it's a good thing, at least then everythings in order (and its easy to find things)
- + mission conference committee meeting tomorrow. i wonder what sorta ideas will come up.
- + TBC leavers 08 reunion tomorrow too! should be good to catch up. i'm so totally craving chilli salted fried squid tenticles....... YUMMMMMMMM.
- + i still haven't told my parents what sorta things i'm getting involved in this year. i'm scared my mother will go in freak out mode or something. hmmmmmmmmm. should i just tell her as it comes? =/ like i normally do. haha.
- + vroom vroom, driving progress has been slow, unfortunately... been working, so not really anywhere to drive too huh.
alright thats it for now

the past few weeks i have constantly felt like giving up.
i keep telling people that i'm doing a bsc, majorin in psyc and applied statistics. but i really want to do med instead. and it's true. i do. but i'm starting to question it more and more... to why it's not happening, if it's really for me? and maybe there's a long way to get to it, and that's what some have told me - but maybe there's not as well?
i feel like giving up on the umat. it's less than six months away. but i signed up to medentry anyways... but i still haven't done any drills. the motivation is not there. the drive. i don't know if i can take it anymore. i just want to give up.
sometimes i even feel like giving up, in my relationship with josh. sometimes i feel like we're constantly fighting. that we lack communication. that we're both changing for the worse. and it's weird, because i tell people all the time that we're going fine, but that main issues are things like his parents... because i know how stupid our fights would sound if i were to be truthful.
i don't want people to think our relationship is not going to last. that it is fragile. stupid even. but by not opening up, i'm just keeping all the issues to myself. soon to explode.
when things go wrong at work. when i'm tired. when it's busy. when i can't take it anymore... i feel like giving up.
when i have plans and big ideas for making a difference. and i get set backs. i feel like giving up too. i tell people that they are just set backs, and just that. but to me, i know that it's not that easy.
when i look at myself and see who i am today. and who i want to become... and it seems unreachable... i feel like giving up.
it's like i'm running a race. but falling at every hurdle. falling flat on my face. every time. what's going to keep me going? after every fall? what's going to pick me up? to keep my eyes on the end? and what's going to get me to that finish line?
because there is oh so much more to go.
i've barely got pass the start... and i already feel like giving up.

♥ 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 =)

♥ 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...
