*dreamy sigh*

ahh...i wish i could quit my job and open my own cafe. no, dont get me wrong, i love my job, but i think i love the idea of baking & cooking and have money coming in better.

it's an idea i've had for a while now. ya ya, i know, last year i was all for "i wanna be a swimming instructor and have my own swim school" yadda yadda, but the cafe idea has been hopping around in my mind since i moved to nz and started cooking and baking and found out how much i enjoy it.

what's better is getting comments on my food when i cook for people! my workmates love my cooking, my bf's flatmates like my cooking, my family likes my cooking, my bf likes my cooking (i think..do you, hun??) and i like my cooking!

i really do enjoy it! if i could afford buying all those fancy stuff for my kitchen, i would so splurge on them! plus, i was just having a look on trademe on all the things available for baking and it's amazing how much stuff there are out there!

i wanna open a cafeeeee!!!!! wonder if banks would let me take a loan to start a business? lol!

i am ultra emo...

yeah it's that time of the month..

everything seems to be going wrong. wrong wrong wrong!

left work early to come home to rest, but i couldn't sleep. everytime i shut my eyes, something will pop up in my head and i'll start thinking about everything. then i'll wake up and go on the laptop, and search for things to read..just to while the time away until 10pm when i supposedly will have dinner..

but apparently not. because no one's getting me dinner now. because his friend is not feeling too good and they are now going out for a movie.

*sigh*

sometimes i wonder, in a relationship, who comes first. your good friend, or your partner? if you ask me, i know my answer. but hey, maybe that's just me, going the extra mile.

oh well...might just have to drive out later to get the porridge i want.

so, yes, flatting is irritating the crap out of me. no, actually, let me rephrase that. flatting is not irritating me, but my flat mates are irritating the crap out of me.

first of all, let me share a secret with you. one of them is a compulsive liar. let me begin my rant. about a month ago, i started complaining about people leaving shit residues on the side of the toilet bowl. so i left a nice note in the toilet, asking whoever it is who leaves those shit residues to brush it off when they're done with the business.

the next day after i left the note there, a note was left for me, stating that she isn't the one. guess what? only 3 people uses the bathoom: me, stefan and her. well, what happened was, she's usually the first one in the bathroom most mornings, and right after she gets out, i hop in. and the first thing i do when i hop in is pee. but just before i pee, i check the toilet bowl to make sure it's clean. and holy mother of all cows, i see shit residues on the side of the bowl.

well, you tell me, who else would it be, when the toilet bowl was all clean and fine and dandy the night before? boy, maybe a rat crawled into the bathroom and shat there and forgotten to scrub its shit residues off the toilet bowl's walls! guess what i saw when i came home from work yesterday?

more shit residues. there wasn't any shit residues for a good few weeks after i brought that conversation up after dinner one day....well until yesterday. stefan didn't use the bathroom, and neither did i. so hmmmmmmm................i guess whose it was?

and boy, may i say, those shit residues are darn stubborn! they'll stay on the bowl even after a night of being soaked in bleach (exit mould!) and they wont go even after 4 flushes. gee, i wonder what she eats!

another time when she got caught out was just a couple of days ago. now, let me share with you a very interesting story. we have 10gB of internet use at home per month. i do not download any songs or music, and i only use the internet for regular stuff like bebo, emails, trademe, facebook and the likes. but somehow, our internet usage reaches up to about 1.5gB a day on average.

so i approached the only other person who uses the internet at home, the shit-residue leaver. she denied downloading everything since the turnover of our internet. to quote her "when did our internet turnover? oh, i downloaded at the end of the previous turnover".

so no downloads eh....but i wonder why the internet usage is still sitting on 1.5gb a day? she went out one day, and someone sneaked a look at her laptop, and surprise surprise...not! downloadings were running right off the laptop at that very moment. "i downloaded at the end of the previous turnover" you know what bitch? we caught you red handed this time!

so stefan called her, yelled at her, and told her we know that she's downloading, and she had nothing to say to us. no wait, initially, she said "oh i browse youtube and things, but that shouldnt cause the internet usage to be so high!" wow, still lying huh...

after arguing back and forth, she finally admitted that she has been downloading, even after my pleas to stop it because i need the internet to be running for the rest of the month as i've just started trademe recently. stefan then made her pay an extra nzd10 to increase our usage by another 10gb and tell her to stop downloading.

and she has been behaving so far. let me show you our data usage:


see how it was really high at the beginning and it suddenly dropped by a significant amount? well, stefan told her off on the 4/6, and the following day, the usage dropped :) and right until now, we haven't even reached our 50% mark yet.






the thing that i dont understand is, why does she need to lie? is it really that hard to admit to something that you've been guilty of? is it really that hard to just say "yeah amy, sorry i've been downloading but i promise i'll stop now"

no wonder no one likes her!






cupcakes galore :D

confessions of a chocaholic

i'm a chocaholic and i admit it :)

you know what's the best thing being me? my bf hates chocolates. so whatever chocolates he receives, i get to eat them. yes, ALL of them. he might have one, and then he'll screw his face up at the taste of chocolate and say i can have the rest! ha!

his bday just came and went, and he got heaps of chocs. the best inheritance from him? Guylian's belgian choc....i've finished half a box of his chocolates and damnnn, it's good! the best thing is, i can leave it anywhere without having to hide it because i know he won't eat a single piece of it. HA!

ok this is really random....but i think it might be the choc overload. i better logoff now. tata!

things which are super pissing me off lately..

i've been in such a crap mood lately..

remember how i was in a car crash last year and i got reimbursed? well, the other party's insurance company has turned their back around and say that i am now liable for their client's damages. like, wtf, 10 months later you come back to me to say that i am liable? excuse me, wtf is this? as if i wasn't in enough emotional stress and inconvenience when i didnt have a car. maybe you should tell your client to drive properly and be more vigilant in future because that car crash could've taken 3 young people's lives and leave my parents with no daughters, you fuckers. i dont care if the other party is a family friend or what, this is just plain stupid ok? have they taken into consideration what would happen if that car crash was fatal? have they every thought to slow down at the roundabout and at least take a look before dashing across the roundabout?

*sigh*

another thing is living in this goddamn flat. no one cares to clean - i cleaned the whole kitchen the other day and someone came home and proudly announced that they cleaned up during the day. excuse me, cleaning up doesnt mean leaving starch residues from cooking your noodles and it doesnt count as cleaning if the pots and pans are still greasy! i worked over the weekend and the last thing i wanna do is to come home and clean the mess up ok! when was the last time rb even vacuumed? NEVER! when was the last time she cleaned the bathroom? NEVER! when was the last time someone bothered vacuuming the whole house? no one! apart from me...

the place gets into such a disgusting state that even if i have a head splitting headache, i cant help it but take the vacuum and cloth to start cleaning everything down. and what do the other 2 do? sit around and watch or do their own shit.

i've had the morning to think about this and i'm thinking of moving out to somewhere else. maybe to a one bedroom apartment to save myself from all the anger and stress. why should i be the only one cleaning everything up? i'm not a clean freak (or i'd like to think i'm not) but i would like to have a place which is reasonably clean and tidy and not somewhere which will attract cockroaches!

another thing is the internet - we're only 6 days into your new capacity, and we've used 75% of the limit. who knows who's been downloading because i dont download anything, stefan doesnt do any downloading here, nancy doesnt have a laptop which connects to the internet. just yesterday, i took my laptop back to my parents' place and when i checked the usage for yesterday, it was 1.6g. guess who was home the whole day? and she said she didn't download anything...it's not just downloading..uploading and watching heaps of videos count as well. how do i know this? because we have a 5gb limit at my parents' place and they dont download anything. the only thing that could use up so much is when my sisters go on youtube and watch music videos. EVERY SINGLE bit counts la!

plus, i'm starting trademe again so i need the internet to be up and running throughout the whole month. we only have about 2.5gb left for the next 25 days.

got i feel so stressed and emo now, i honestly feel like packing all my belongings up and move back with my parents.

gonna have a look at 1 bedroom apartments now. ta
