day off work :D

i took a sick day off work today. my throat's too sore for me to socialize at work/ training and i'm going thru the whole hot-warm-cold flushes. one minute i'm feeling hot, next minute i'm feeling cold. not good.

anyway, i took advantage of my day off to sleep in and get more rest from the weekend. went away for mike (stefan's mate) 21st at sunset beach on friday and got back home yesterday. stayed over for 2 nights at the bach that mike rented. nice place...good times :D

after we got home yesterday, i had a shower and got ready to go out again. went to my parents' place and we headed out to macadaemia nut farm which is out west. had a really nice lunch there and mum bought a few packets of nuts and donated some to me...yum! slept pretty much the whole way there and the whole way home, so that was about 2 hours worth of sleep.

bummed around at home, mum made dinner and i left after dinner. my body was feeling heavier and heavier. as soon as i got home, i got changed into my pjs and crawled into bed...and finally woke up again at 8am to move my car, crawled back into bed, and woke up again at around noon.

now, i really should go get ready to go to foodtown to get some throat lozenges and lemsip so i can pull thru the day.

colddddd....... >"<

relationship & break ups

i was reading a friend's blog just a moment ago about her recent break up. it reminded me a lot about my break up over a year ago. lots of memories were brought back because when she was going through her previous break up, we were supporting each other emotionally. we both moved on in life and managed to place our feet on the ground again.

a little while later, she found a guy that i thought was perfect for her. they looked really good in photos and everything just seemed perfect. a year on, i found out he dumped her for another girl (i think?) and she sees the new couple together. reading that makes me feel like i wanna be beside her, holding her up so she can keep moving on. fortunately for me, i haven't seen my ex with his girl. i know how she looks like from photos, but if i had to see them together, i dont think i'll last 10 seconds..

well, maybe not now. coz i wouldnt give a toss anymore. but still, i'll avoid coming close to them if i can!

anyway, relationships....they can be the best thing that happens to a person, yet the result of a bad relationship can leave someone absolutely torn apart and in a complete wreck. i find break ups my absolute phobia right this moment, and anything close to a break up (including minor arguments) will leave me in tears because horrid memories come rushing through my mind and i will have this silly thought about breaking up.

as unhealthy as it is, there seems to be nothing i can do about it. i get really emotional over certain things and there's just no way for me to fix it unless i just move on and pretend nothing happened. or unless, the male counterpart comes and give me cuddles and shower me with love :D but having said that, the 'male' in me will just push him away sometimes.

..sigh. wish i could delete some of my past memories with a click to make space for happier memories!

--

speaking of the 'male' in me, apparently i am more male than my other half. my flat mate pointed out to me that she has better movie compatibility with my bf rather than me. then i cleverly said to her that "i'm quite male when it comes to movies" and she response was "yeah! that's exactly what i meant! i think stefan has better movies taste than you!"

and i just went -____- "are you trying to say i'm more male than stefan?!"

LOL!

apparently it's quite obvious, so says my flatmate.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! now that is very funny. i think my tomboy-ness is really showing these days :P

i dunno who still reads my blog these days as i seldom blog these days...or when i do, i write the shittiest things ever.

but who cares..i feel like writing something today so here goes:

friday: had work as usual, but went for an induction for new staff. met the CEO..he looks like a pretty down to earth guy and he gives interesting speeches. the rest of the speakers put me to sleep -_- had a nice morning tea provided by the company and a mean BBQ with yummy chicken sausages.

in the evening, bf took me to Blush (a restaurant/bar) along beach road. the serve the best pearl milk tea by far and at a reasonable price too! came home and began my weekend as a pig :P

saturday: sent my car for WOF - was pretty much shitting myself, worrying that my car will need some sort of fixing, but in the end all was good :D then had to go sign some documents at family's home, but managed to drop by sylvia park before that to have lunch and buy a little toy for baby katie

came back after sorting all the documents out and bummed around for a bit. threw a tantrum and started complaining i was bored for the rest of the day but i couldnt come up with anything to do (if anyone has any suggestions as to what i can do over the weekends, pls pls pls tell me!) and i shot down all my bf's ideas so we ended up releasing steam on each other. lol..my bad really. anyway, in the evening, we went to my bro's place to visit baby katie and to have pizza there.

everytime i see baby katie, i really wanna steal her away! hehehe she's getting cuter and cuter everytime i see her! cuteness overload ok! she was smiling a couple of times while i was cuddling her and my heart just melted :) 5 mins after my sister in law put her to bed, she started crying, and me being me, i quickly went to calm her down. when that didn't work, i couldnt help it but pick her up. i'm one of those people who cant stand it when a child keeps crying and i'll do whatever to stop them from crying! i think parents will loathe having people like me around coz their kids will be spoilt :P

sunday: went out with lucy and tina to langham hotel for brunch. excellent service i must say, and the food was superb :D golden waffles with berry compote. ahhhhhh........delish! oh before that, bf took me for brekkie at denny's. every weekend, i wake up craving for has browns. if someone ever asks me what i want for brekkie on a saturday or sunday morning, i'll say has browns without even thinking. so bad >"< but oh so delicious at the same time!

after brunch, we made our way to newmarket to have a browse and walk around while catching up. gotta say, it's really good catching up with the girls coz i hardly ever see them these days!

and today, it's back to training, but this time we're doing shorthaul training. which is pretty interesting :)

of emo-ness and a random photoblog

hmm. feeling super emo..because i got put off doing something i enjoy.

put it this way, you really like doing something, but then someone else comes along and be all negative about it, so you lost interest doing what you enjoy. how would you feel?

*sigh*

anyway, since i'm super bored with nothing to do (been sitting at home pretty much all day long) and feeling super emo, i'll post up some pics of the haps lately.

this is my mommy and baby katie. hehe my mommy the grany!! lol!!! but look at katie, she reminds me of this photo i have of teddy...

"yo yo, 'sup gee!"

the photos below are when my workmates crashed my place and we had a party..

introducing brendan, and his fluffy handcuffs... :D

eli and me at my farewell drinks :)

teina and me, plus eli in the background

my little bro and me!

baby katie again! i put her to sleep!
*proud*

super yummy baked oreo cheesecake
@ lucy's place

um, group orgy?
lifeguards orgy perhaps?
lol kidding!

last day of domestic travel training....now that's scary, because time just flew by me without me even realizing it!

just under 4 weeks ago, i stepped foot into the toll building on the shore to be an air new zealander. few weeks down the road, i am all ready (apparently!) to go out onto the floor and start answering calls and be all by myself!

our kiwi training room that has been my 'safe place' is a place i wont be going anymore because i will be out there along with everyone else! now what do i do when i have an i-rate customer who yells into the phone because someone else did something wrong!

it's been a crazy 4 weeks of training i must say, with so much to learn and it's a never ending process! "not one person in the whole contact centre knows every single thing", so they all say to us, but hey, i'd be happy to have the knowledge of someone who's been there for years and years!

so, 2 weeks on the phones all by myself, and then 2 weeks of shorthaul training (that's when i'll be getting all the "gidday mate how r ya" calls) and after that, i'll be working in town! ahhh it all sounds way too scary!

...where did all the time go to?!

i can get used to this...

i got served breakfast in bed this morning by the boy!

lol!

he popped into my room to dump some stuff, sneaked back downstairs and started cooking and came back up about 30mins later with my brekkie! my food made a smiley face! hehehehe :D

--

went to visit my little niece again today. and i cuddled her! hehehe so cute seeing her on my arms..she's so tiny!



--

got a haircut yesterday and some blonde streaks....and i have a fringe but i dont like it so i swept it to the side. heh..



cant really see the streaks here..but you'll be able to see it another time! and i have a small bunch of hair at the bottom that's longer than the rest. hehe i have a wee tail!!

--

that's it for now. having a stupid headache AGAIN! i think i'm dehydrated -.-

my trainer told us last week that we'll find it really difficult to get out of bed and concentrate at work starting week 2. and it's true indeed. i had so much difficulties trying to concetrate at training today. getting out of bed isn't much of a problem coz..well, i think i have good discipline when it comes to getting out of bed to go to work.

training seems to be getting more and more complicated with each passing day. we're learning lots of new things everyday, and things that seemed so hard last week can now be done with our eyes closed. amazing eh, the whole learning process. i'm glad i'm still sitting at the top of my group :D i have super speed when it comes to doing work-related things.

when i was a lifeguard, my seniors used to comment on how quickly i get things done, which is why they always let me do stuff away from poolside, like paperwork and etc coz they know i dont muck around. and now at training, my workmates are amazed at how speedy i am. i take half the time to finish what they're doing.

good thing is, we're allowed to do whatever we want once we're done, as long as we're not distracting other people. so everytime i'm done with my tasks, i'll read up more stuff on air nz's internal website :D it's pretty awesome!

got a call from both national bank and asb. national bank wanted me to go for their final interview but i declined and i declined asb's one as well. even though the base salary at air nz is slightly lower than both banks mentioned, the persks there are amazing. i only know of a few perks now and i'm more than satisfied already!

cheap airtickets..hello, how can you say no??? (unless you don't like travelling la..). 100k life insurance? SURE! cheap hotels and rental cars? WOW COUNT ME IN!!!

looks like it'll be another job i'll enjoy!
