stefan and i have been busy playing mummy and daddy throughout the whole weekend. we bought a puppy last week, and brought him home on friday. i'll be taking him home to his seller tomorrow because our current flatmates are no big fans of dogs so they wont let us keep him here permanently. the deal with the seller is i get to bring him home on my days off :)

it's pretty tiring playing mummy. junior (our puppy's name) is not toilet trained yet so it's really a pain cleaning up after him all the time. when he pees, we need to soak up the pee from the carpet and then spray carpet cleaner on it. if he poos, well be sure hope there's newspaper around, but if there isn't, then mummy has to pick the poo up and throw it away >"<

junior's a chihuahua x pommie. he doesnt look like a purebred chihuahua, but rather a cuter version of chihuahua..actually, more like a jack russell. a lot of people seem to think he's a jack russell coz he has the markings of one. but he behaves very much like a chihuahua.

i get woken up in the wee hours of the morning to clean up his wee and poo, and at night i have to wake up several times just to make sure he's sleeping alright. it's so much like looking after a baby to be honest! except junior doesnt cry at night while sleeping :P

i think that'll be it now. i'm done eating my sour dough bread, and the 2 boys are upstairs having their afternoon nap so mummy can have some time to herself (finally!)

yesterday, i got stalked by some turkish guy. i was walking close to imax in town, by myself, as the bf was meeting up with his friend, when i got stopped by a random person for the time.

now, when this person stopped me, i felt a strange sensation. i knew someone had been following me closely while looking at me (you know how you get that feeling when someone is starring at you...). anyway, the guy asked for the time, and i told him the time, and then smiled politely and walked off after he said thanks.

then what he did next was, catch up with me, and tried talking to me. like asking where i was from, and telling me about himself and how he's lived here for this long and stayed in aust for this long. then he started asking about malaysia and etc and i just said "it's nice and hot" and smiled, and kept walking.

when i got outside the store i wanted to go to, he blocked my way. i told him that i've reached my destination, and that i would like to go in the store. he started blabbering on about himself, and so i listened for a short while, and attempted to walk into the store again. he then blocked my way again, and started saying "you're a stranger to me, i'm a stranger to you..can i ask you a question? if you're free maybe later or tomorrow, maybe i can take you for coffee?"

-____________-

at this point i just glared at him, and said "sorry i have a bf" and walked off. and then he tried blocking my way again and said "oh it's nothing like that!!" and i replied "no, sorry, thanks, bye"

i was so freaked out by then because first of all, he stalked my from mid city (by smith&caughey's) all the way to imax. then he blocked my way, and then asked me out for coffee?!

eh what do you think i am? some china aunty that you can ask out and then try to gain residency by being with me? no thanks la, you stink turkish man. you're so short (my height) and how dare you block my way and pretend to ask for the time!!

if i had pepper spray with me, i would've sprayed 5 times in his damn ugly face!

i hope he burns himself while frying sausages in the kitchen and due to his luck, the sausage will fall on his dick and burn it off!!!

and jokingly, the bf said "aw you broke his heart today" to which i added "yeap. he'll probably go do some suicide bombing tonight to kill us all"

i bought sheer cover and i arrived in the mail today! i've just tried it on, and i love the results! it feels like i'm not wearing any foundation, but at the same time, it looks like i am! my skin looks flawless :)

following the post below the previous one, i havent walked home once :P i've been catching the bus from victoria park market right up to the shell station by my place. what a bum i've been! at least i'm walking up and down 2 flights of stairs per day. and walking across victoria park to catch the buss :P i still think i'm getting more exercise done now, than when i was working on the shore.

lately i've been house hunting for a bit. found quite a few nice places within walking distance from my work place. there're a couple just across the road, and the area is just nice. it felt really cosy when we did a quick drive through there last night. the places looked pretty new as well, and the complex has the whole gym+lap pool+sauna as well! and one of the places we found allows pets, but the rent is like nzd395, which we both think is pretty steep for an unfurnished place..

apart from house hunting, i've been chihuahua hunting as well. trademe and t&e seems like the best places to look for pups. other classifieds have lots of pet scams going on where they say they'll ship the puppies to you, and all you need to do is pay the shipping fee and the puppy comes free. i read stories where after paying the shipping fee, the sellers will contact you and say that your puppy is stuck on a random island, and that's when they'll start demanding for more money from you and etc.

i got in touch with one of them pet scammers, and we went as far as organising shipping. i told them that i work in the airlines industry so i get special rates for cargo and that i'll arrange shipping myself. the response i got was a pretty -ve one, where they've pretty much lost interest in trying to 'scam' me coz obviously they would get nothing out of it..in the end, they just stopped replying my emails. lol

the ridiculous thing is, they 'give' you a free puppy. then they shipping fees are like, 10% of what you would actually pay. wow, these people sure are animal lovers ay...they're even willing to cover 90% of the shipping costs for you..

what bollocks! i'm smarter than that :P

anyway, the hunt for houses will keep going, and so will be chihuahua search :) if you know anyone who's selling a smooth coat/short haired chihuahua, please let me know!

ahh i'm all flattered now :)

a customer called up to enquire about something, and this was what happened:

cust: blablabla what time will they arrive?
amy: blabla around 1930 but give it about an hour before you pick them up
cust: oh ok. WOW where are you from?
amy: auckland
cust: WHERE?!
amy: auckland, in new zealand
cust: oh...you have a very beautiful accent! i love it! you should keep it!
amy: aww thank you! i will!

i really feel like recording myself when i speak now :P

on the menu tonight..

is coney dogs A&W style!

how many of you remember this? gosh i LOVE their coney dogs, onion rings and root beer float!

i've been craving for very good hotdogs (since I had the oh-soooo-good hotdog at de fontein's), so i though why not make coney dogs for dinner tonight! i havent had a coney dog in like....YEARSSSSS!

can wait to start cooking it! i hope it'll turn out well :)

went back home home yesterday, and my dad loved my cooking :D i made baked salmon and honey and soy beef stirfry with boiled veges.

when mum got home, i asked her how many cups of rice she usually cooks, and she said 3. i made 4, and all of us wiped the rice pot clean! when my mum saw how big the salmon was, she said "aiya why so big! cannot finish la!" haha boy was she wrong! everyone was looking for more salmon long after it was gone!

and the stir fry beef..my poor daddy thought it was all gone when he came back for seconds. but there was still half in the frying pan and when i told him that, he quickly ran back to the kitchen to get more!

lol :)

it makes me happy when my food is appreciated like that! and before i left, my dad said to me "compliments to the chef! very nice food! can you come back and cook again tomorrow please?"

LOL

ok i'm typing all these random stuff. i'm gonna go now, ta!!

harro people!

some idiot said i'm lazy :P wonder who that idiot is..because a little birdie told me he weights TWICE as much as me! :P jokes la!

well, i've started working over in the city, and it's awesome! it's like starting my job all over again to a fresh start, and everything's been amazing since i started yesterday. the place is really flash, and you get very nice people there! my new team leader's awesome as well..she doesn't give the standard "let's check that with the ops supervisors" which my previous team leader used to do.

anyway, my darling's been nice enough to wake up before 6am everyday to drop me off at work to make sure i get there on time, safe and sound. then he will drive my car back, and park it round the back where i've hired a parking lot. then when i'm done with work, i'll either walk home or catch the bus home, depending on whether i feel like being healthy or not, and also on the weather.

i walked home yesterday, and it took about 35 minutes which is pretty reasonable. today, i caught the bus home, and it took almost the same amount of time as walking because we were waiting for another driver to take over the shift for a good 10 minutes i think? so i've decided, i'll try to walk as much as possible when the weather's fine and i'll bring my running shoes to work so i can walk home in comfort :)

and i'm thinking of joining tepid baths again so i go for a swim on my way home - something that i havent done in a loonnggg time and i really feel like swimming again just to be fit and healthy! but i'll consider that again, coz it's not very cheap to join a membership there. i have to really commit myself to doing it, otherwise i might as well go as a casual customer.

i'm still on the search to get a puppy, so if you know anyone who has a chihuahua that they want to sell/ give away, please let me know ok? it doesnt need to be a puppy!!

scrap tha puppy thought. the owners of the puppy have came back to me and said they cant hold it even if i paid upfront...

and i'm emo-ing super hard out on a friday night

:(
