It’s December! 3 December, 2008

And it should be snowing?

Haha.. not in New Zealand!~ Woo! 25 days!! ^_^ Yay I can’t waaait!

Soo haven’t updated for a week since I watched Camp Rock last Friday.. that was quite a while ago…. nothing exciting is happening at the moment other than work and payday this Friday!

This past week has just been work and moving my stuff back to West Auckland….. my room is still a mess from all the bags of stuff that I packed up… I guess a photo insert here would be appropriate… maybe next entry.

And then I will leave you with the (actual) exciting events that are coming up in the next three months? (lol…)

• Friend’s Birthday Dinner and Clubbing
• Chinese Lantern Festival (its amazing how Albert Park is turned into this awesome array of displays and such. I love it.)
• FOB (and the chance/possibility to meet them….. hookups! n_n)
• The Veronicas/MetroStation (Veronicas = FINALLY! can’t wait….!!)

I actually still have to get tickets to the latter two but still excited~ hopefully they don’t sell out… this is all dependant on my pay on the 19th of this month… coz have to put in some money for rent for the last two weeks of Jan…. the woman that is going to be staying in my room is going to stay for only 7 weeks! Thought (wrongly, obviously) that she would be paying for the room even though she was going to be away….. well. Now it’s cleared up.. she wanted to also stay one night in the room before her flight… um. No. I think without even paying…..

But anyways. This was going to be a short entry..kind of still but yes. Just thought that I would update~

Pearl Milk Tea at Hulu Cat~ 1 September, 2008

“What if, in all of this insanity, was just a way to meet you?”
~ Rebecca, Brothers and Sisters

Yum. And Cute Too! ^.^

That was the first time that I’ve seen and had the tiramisu cake decorated like that! It’s soo cute!! ^.^ It was quite yum too~

Tonight went out to Hulu Cat Cafe with two friends, SC + GW. It was awesome. Haven’t been to that place since I think earlier this year! :O That’s like ages ago!! I liked it… had the same thing that I always have….. should really like try something new but oh well~ I don’t like much change and like to stick to what I know & like.

Lately, it’s just been uni and work.. I still haven’t been paid by my work! There’s always a kink that prevents me from being paid! :( And it sucks even more that I have to wait like two weeks before I get paid again coz they pay wages fortnightly! =_=

Four Scratch that, three more days till mid-semester break!! ^_^ I can’t wait! …. But I should probably use that time to catch up with my Chinese…. *sigh*

Atm, also the apartment is in the midst of changes.. one flatmate moved out not long ago and this week, an old flatmate and his girlfriend is moving back in.. (I’m still not sure if I should use full names, although I have before but notw, hmm… not quite certain..) and so yeah, changes abode~ Another change in the works is that the other remaining flatmate is looking to move out soon, probably around the time the old flatmate and girlfriend is moving in.. and then who will replace her is this flatmate….. I won’t complicate things coz I think I am getting myself confused. But, there’s someone like pretty much ready and waiting to move in once she (SC) moves out who actually happens to be the current flatmate of the former flatmate at their current apartment…. I think that made sense, if not, then. Oh well. I tried. I’m not very good at explaining things. x_x

Oooh and tomorrow going to get my new (SECOND!) external hard drive from the computer place! Yay! Music, photos, videeeos!! ^.^ It is like soo sad. T_T Second hard drive in like less than a week of owning the first! *sigh* I’m a hazard and just danger when owning like electronic equipment.. which speaking of electronic equiment.. I’m wanting a new digital camera for when I *hopefully* travel back to China/Hong Kong at the end of this year with family… I want a more slim one and one that is pink! Lol xD Me and pink stuff….. >_<

Well.. that’s all for now… an oral and written exam this week… wish me luck… I’ll need it… maybe… quite possibly… And it’s nearly the end of another six weeks/half semester. And then before you know it… it’ll be the end of the year!

And hopefully CHINA! And HONG KONG!!! Soo excited! An oportunity also to improve and use my Chinese…. probably mainly just conversing with my younger cousins.. who are not that young I don’t think.. one is about fourteen/fifteen? And the other, well is a tad younger… like about seven or eight? Not sure.. but he’s quite cute in that he doesn’t know much English while the other cousin, MH, has been studying for like 7 years! :O Wow. Soo yeah. Excited!! ^.^

Oh. And it’s September! Seventeen days till my birthday!

An Update~ 5 June, 2008

Just a quick little update on my life to signal that I am still alive.

So. The other original two flatmates at my flat are moving out this week and pretty much going to be replaced by someone that I have only met once and that is also a workmate of my other flatmate, S. I think I need like letters for the names. Okay. So. The two flatmates that are moving out to their So’s flats are R and G. And the fourth flatmate that is not moving is S. S works with this new flatmate, A. And A is also a friend of a friend of another friend that I have only just met this year but have developed quite a close friendship with and we shall call him Ry. So, yeah that may have been quite confusing. It’s a small world where everybody knows everybody..

So yeah. That’s what’s happening at the flat/apartment.

Uni. It sucks atm. Probably coz I hae like so much to do and should have probably done it like a while ago.. I have 2 essays due probably by the end of next week and then 3 exams over the next two weeks in which I have not started studying for. Although  should be fine if I have like actually just learned the characters each week that I have learned them… I am also going to probably fail miserably on the oral. I have three exams – oral (Tuesday), written for Chinese 1 (Friday) and written exam for Written Chinese (the following Monday). Oh, and next week Chinese Culture essay (1500) due Thursday. And also an 800 word essay due… sometime. It’s an image/text essay analyzing a webpage (or two..) using this reading that I still have not yet finished reading… -___-

Kill me noww… T_T!!

Aaand, my friendships. They are pretty good. Pretty okay social life.. keeping on top of invites and social gatherings (not many *cough*) but do have a 21st coming up in two weeks! Can’t wait! Hmmm gotta also get a small present too. :I

Soo yeah… and today I have spent the whole day procrastinating and just pretty much sitting in this exact spot on the net… that is probably not good for me. And of course, there was also texting and phone calls… from the same person.. lol. But all good. Variety~ haha.

Well. It’s quite late (not that I will be going to sleep anytime soon, wel not within the next half hour or anything anyway and so yeah I shall leave it at that.

I have yet to have another rant… something that’s been on my mind is friends and yeah.. so yeah, I think maybe I shall have a little rant about that. But yeah. Hm. Shall do that.

Been Forever! 31 May, 2008

Okay. So it has definitely been forever… maybe not forever but well over a week since I have last updated…

Not much changes or not much but a lot?

Today I went into the city (I’m at my mum’s home atm, for Queen’s Birthday weekend ) for a kind of I guess job interview/meeting thingy and I don’t think it went well… I am so like kind of screwed because of my timetable! T_T My timetable is pretty much like all over the place…

This semester’s (that is nearly finishing…) timetable:

Monday ~ 10 am – 12 pm
Tuesday ~ 9 am – 12 pm & 3 pm – 4 pm
Wednesday ~ 2 pm – 5 pm
Thursday ~ 12 pm – 2 pm
Friday ~ 9 am – 12 pm

Sooo… pretty screwed in that I definitely won’t be able to work two full days and hmm yes. -___- I’ll just go die now.. *sigh*

Another reason I am just going to die now is my lack of motivation to study! I have an 800 word image/text essay due at the end of next week, 1500(?) word essay due 12 June and of course study for my upcoming exams in about a week from now? T_T *die* I need to find motivation!!!! Anyone have any that I could have….? *SIGH*

And, its not really even much? The 800-word one? But the thing is.. I haven’t even started the like reading for it, in which I have to like base my essay off! It’s like, I don’t even know how many pages! T_T … help?

I REALLY can’t wait for the semester break! Like THREE WEEKS of NOTHING!! Ohh! Yes. On my way back to my car from the job interview/meeting today, I saw at this cafe that was hiring and I went in and enquired and I have a trial next Saturday! ^_^ Yayy!!! I’m excited. It’s for this cafe and is like front of house staff and yes. Happy! Thought it was a like pretty bad day but then… not really!

I, then spent the rest of the day pretty much doin gnothing but something at the same time? I was meant to (don’t know what time exactly but some time…) meet a friend to go shopping with him for his birthday present but he just took too damn long. Lol.. he was shopping with his family and soo yeah… although on the bright side… I ended up getting my money back on this universal laptop charger that I got from Dick Smith last night at the mall and also went to visit my friend where she works and so that wasn’t too bad But was pretty tired from all the walking I did today. And, the sucky thing about today was (hence the massive amounts of walking done) that I didn’t have my ASB (bank) eftpos card and my apartment keycard with me and so I couldn’t go to my apartment and like rest. T_T That definitely sucked! So yeah, ended up doing productivity! Not that it’s a bad thing.. =]

Haven’t also beeen updating this blog coz I have like nothing to update or just felt it was too personal or like I dunno.. just no motivation and couldn’t-be-botheredness. Heh.

Oh and some monetary and financial news…. I am in overdraft again…. =_= Had like unexpected expenses come up like the fact that we have been using hot water without like paying for it… it finally caught up when it was like switched off and was like wth is going on. Hmmm. Yeah. So yeah, got a $200 back-bill in the mail.

Aaand, I just heard news like  yesterday that two of my hooked-up flatmates are moving out to their respective partner’s apartments… and so that leaves me and my other flatmate…. not sure exactly what is happening… but that just leaves like one room kinda coz at the moment, two are sharing one room and so yeah… it has been three months living in that apartment… Hmm. Interesting.

So. Yeah. That is my life in a nutshell minus my much-more personal life that I have decided to keep under wraps coz well… yeah not much people need to know other than pretty much me and that person. Yup.

Mandy Moore-ness, Annoyance and Early Sleeping…. 16 May, 2008

Soo. I went to sleep for like about 2-3 hours at 7.45 pm tonight. And, obviously, I can’t sleep… probably should’ve went out when my friend invited me to. Oh well. There was a band tooo… hmmm. /shrug.

I am currently on a 90’s music downloading spree! Over the past few days I have downloaded the likes of S Club 7 (more than one song too!), Mandy Moore, a Lilix son, some Hoobastank and Maria Mena (she is pretty awesome – love the song, I Miss Your Love <33) and of course some boyband goodness.. Busted! I am contemplating Westlife… 90’s. So cheesy! But I love it! Hahaha… and I know you do too! The 90’s babies! ^^

Theeen. Today really pissed me off and probably tired me out with all the annoyance taking probably a lot of energy out of me… hard work being pissed off! Lol. Probably why it doesn’t occur that often and its not something (I, personally) that’s felt often (well not for me, personally anyway). It takes a lot for me to get worked up and pissed off and pretty much anything will set/piss me off. I slept it off. At 7 pm.. LOL. XD Yeah, coz I’m cool like that lol.

Well… atm I kind of can’t sleep and hence updating this..

Anybody ever had/have a filter blog? God, those suck ASS for me! >_< I feel so…. restrictive and that I just can’t like write. I dunno if its just the unfamiliarity and uncertainity of what I can/can’t do… but yeah… it’s hard. It’s really kicking my ass! And it’s like for one of my papers.. yep, one of my assignments/projects is maintaining a filter blog haha. I just don’t get how links come into and what you’re exactly supposed to say… like without repeating the info in the links? Coz I think that’s the point of it? Hmmm… *sigh*

Oh and something that I am quite proud of…. last night I studied! HAHA! XD I was pretty happy and satified with myself. I think I definitely know those characters. Wasn’t that hard either~! ^^ Sooo, yeah just the habit of keeping it up.

So, what annoyed me today pretty much is the fact that I do pretty much everything in maintaining my flat (definitely making sure that bills are paid – coz well, I don’t want to kind of pretty much get up at an ungodly hour to get to uni… biggest no-no for me… haha coz I’m that lazy! T_T). Buuut um yeah I’m pretty much the only one that’s not like working and that has pretty much the least class (and the least life.. but that could be my fault, I turned down my friend who asked me to go clubbing with her on Thursday night, but that wouldn’t have been smart as I had a 9 am class the next day.. but didn’t go to sleep till 2 am anyway… ) and soo yeah = a lot of time spent at apartment which = lots of free time.

I quite like it. My free time. ^.^ it’s great. Though it really means that I should study more coz i have the time buut… I don’t? Instead I waste my time on the net aaand the good thing? I’m still passing! But not as great as I would like to. I’m like JUST passing. Like for the mid-semester exams, although I did only fail one section of the paper, it would have been better if I hadn’t, y’know. :\

Well. Anyways, I’m going to go waste some more time and eventually fall asleep when I get bored. Hehe

Hope everyone had a good day
