Not sure how many of you actually bother to donate blood. if you don’t and you’re healthy.. then why the heck not???

im shit scared of needles, the thought makes me faint.. but i still do it.

and so should you.

it saves lives…and one day it could be yours.

for those who still have questions..

If i thought the costs of the venue was ludicrous…then obviously I hadn’t even looked at the prices of hiring a photographer.

it is going to costs me from anywhere between 2-5K. Not $2, but $2000 minimum.
Obviously the higher the price, the longer they will stay there to keep on taking photos.

That is so sad.

If I paid $5K, that would be MORE than half of the venue (I have a place in mind)…

yes, i know that this is the photographers time and effort… and having to use photoshop and printing out these damned wedding photos.

Memories… you know.. costs stuff.

Now, being asian.. means I’m supposed to have asian friends who can do this on the cheap. WRONG!

and it’s very hard to ask someone to trail you around for an entire day.. whilst they also miss out on ur wedding. It’s a job.
the other problem is i wouldnt have the opportunity to crack the shits should everything fuck up.

Man, at this rate, I’m going to go buy myself a Nikon/Canon and take the shots myself.

how a venue decides that they are going to charge almost $18,000 just to hire for one night is beyond me.

My partner has been gung-ho about having our wedding reception at Encore-st kilda. and when we finally worked out the date…. seriously… i almost doubled over and fell off the bed.

what the fuck…

it’s a good thing his reaction is just the same as mine… when i messaged him, i knew that very moment, his dreams just went down the gurgler.

i’m still blown away by the costs. W T F.

these people must think couples who want to marry either have won the lottery, came to an inheritance or robbed a bank.

instead of planning a wedding, i might as well plan a bank heist…

how else am i going to afford these stupid costs

it turns out my extended family is even bigger than i thought it was.
over the weekend, i attended one of my cousins housewarming(obviously it was a big shindig)..

2 of my cousins who i didnt even know existed had travelled overseas to australia were also there. One was from Vietnam
and the other was from america.
Both cousins were a lot older than myself… which meant that they would have their own families (means more cousins for me) to which i have never ever seen or heard of.

so when i thought i knew it all, turns out i was extremely WRONG

damnit.

who knew my 60 year old aunty could out swim me. although to be honest, she’s being doing laps at the pools for a couple of years now.

but still, after 1 hr of constant laps my arms gave way and my legs felt like jelly.

-_-” seriously got pwned hard…

now i just need to lie down and sleep a little bit

Our “man” has finally allowed me to “go make them enquiries for Venues in April”.
He literally said “any Saturday provided it’s available”

You think that’s an easy enough task right?!?!?!
WRONG?!

My mum and my aunties MUST look at the lunar calendar for 2014 and consult with whoever it is.. to determine exactly which date is “suitable”
and they need to make sure that it doesn’t coincide with some dead relative’s death anniversary date… o.O

oh you cross one mountain, then you meet another.

you know you’re getting really fat when you’re 60 year old aunty makes arrangements with you to go to the pools to ensure that you’re getting the exercise to tone down your fat… oh boy
I have to be at the swimming pools at 7.45am sharp and swim until 8.45am…

On other news: My company’s payroll have confirmed (not in writing) that they will be paying me out…so disaster kinda averted? Not sure. still pissed about it.

:/

nothing else excited has happened today

Right now… I’m REALLY angry.
I just got off the phone with payroll who told me that my last day with the company was the 31st of August.
Which basically means I won’t get paid on the 15th of September, I’m on a monthly pay cycle for those who don’t know.

And when you’re paid on the 15th of every month, it basically means the company pays you 2 weeks in arrears and 2 weeks in advance. So technically if my final day was the 31st of August, I was paid in the August pay cycle.

which is really REALLY BULLSHIT considering i handed my 4 weeks notice which happened to be on the 27th of August and my last day being the 21st of September.
It’s not my fault that I just can’t happen to serve my notice period at work, it was a management decision to make me serve it out at home…

so to be told and confirmed that I’d be paid NOTHING on the 15th of september has really irked me to the point, I am almost tempted to drive to the office and scream the office down.. like literally down.

how fucken dare they do this to me?
the stupid payroll lady was like “this is what it says on the document” and im like ‘look lady, i know what it says but think logically, if i have to give 4 weeks notice, and technically i have to work them, you technically have to pay me”

and she was ummhing and ahhing… and said she’d confirmed with my manager because apparently HE was the one that lodged the date with payroll.
Trust my stupid manager to get it oh so fucken wrong.
I gave him a call and said “wtf man!?!?! u told me i would be paid until the 21st of september” and he was like ‘of course u are”

LIES!!!
i told him i spoke to payroll and they told me otherwise…
i got a lot of “ill fix it for you, i promise”
promise-schmomise..
I specifically asked LAST friday whether or not they were going to pay until the 21st and he said YES…
YES my fucken ass..

if i was going to be dudded this hard, i would have just rocked up to the office on the Monday and worked it out.

if they don’t pay me.. I’m going to speak to my cousin who happens to be a lawyer.

You know when u have that ONE HO of a friend who only ever calls you whenever they need or want something?
And then they become pretty non existent after they’ve gotten what they were after?

Those types of friendships are just as bad as those men who are just after ONE thing, sleep with you and then dump you.

But we all have these kinda friends in our lives, or maybe from time to time we’re one of them.
But usually we’re not, it’s just us being taken for a ride.

Usually it takes a LONG time to realize that it’s a one way street kinda friendship and it’s painstakingly tough when you get to this point. Most of us would dismiss the possibility that we have a dudd friend and make up excuses to explain why they are either never around when they should be, only call when THEY have a problem or it’s up to you to either fix or spend your own money to do whatever it is that needs doing.

I’m sure it only happens to nice people because nice people get taken advantage of, i mean who would dare go use and abuse a scary person? Not unless you have a death wish.
But at what point do these people think it’s okay to treat others like a friggen door mat?

But what are we supposed to do when we get to that point when we make that realization that we do indeed have a user/abuser of a friend.. who really, let’s face it.. isn’t really your friend because it’s, like i said…. a one way freakin street.

i know it’s sad.. but the only thing u can do is… is move on.. and AVOID them at all costs..

When we are at work, we dream about the day we could sit at home and do nothing.
Well now I’m sitting at home and doing nothing… and truth be told, its not cracked up as it should be.
I’m not sure what the heck I was expecting, but it’s pretty damn boring if everybody else is at work and you have literally no responsibilities or anywhere interesting to go.

yeh, it’s great to sleep in, but then when you’re awake, then what?

I guess if I was a health freak, I’d be basking in the fact that I could go for crazy runs or something, the only runs I’d ever be going on would be sitting on the throne after a bad night of curry or something.

There’s ONLY so much shopping one can do before it gets boring, and I’ve put a ban of buying novels because I have way too many and unfortunately I’ve run out of space to put them. (currently have like 2 massive containers at my friends house… ) and there’s 2 new crazy containers I’ve just filled up.

The more I watch day time tv, the more stupid i get :/
and I’m sick of watching asian drama because I’m tired of red puffy cheeks.

don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have nothing to do then the stresses of my crappy work.
Everytime I think of the alternative, it makes me cringe.
