right now.. i am all over the shop. Just got off a plane… and currently in an office at the Brisbane airport…
After taking 2 tablets, its made me drowsy.. ive slept most of it off but it now I’m like bleh!
it’s tough because i kinda have to be alert considering I’m going to be chairing a meeting… and the people I’m meeting are going to ask all sorts of questions…
why do i do this to myself?
i dunno.. its all for the money…
and im thinking i need to make 10 times more to make this worth my while
Looking at the photos- the devastation left behind by Hurricane Sandy is absolutely gut wrenching.
I really feel for those people who have lost their homes either by flood or by fire.
I also pray that those who were killed by the storm went peacefully and that it wasn’t such a painful death.
Let’s hope that these people are able to recover and rebuild.
on friday, my partner and I got stuck in melbourne’s infamous peak hour traffic heading to the airport. It was bad because I was busting to go to the toilet. really really needing to go BADLY.
when we finally arrived, half way walking towards the security checkpoint, the other half decided that he may or may not have locked the car door and had to run all the way back to check, whilst I had to stand around (busting to go to the toilet) minding our bags. I almost made a mess in the middle of the Qantas checkout terminal.
I wanted to check-in on facebook (because im such a nerd) to the melbourne airport but the other half was really persistent that i didn’t. it turned out we had business class tickets which gave us access to the qantas business lounge. It’s where the awesome go to and get fed, and access to unlimited amount of alcohol!
As per usual, 30 minutes prior to boarding, I took 2 tablets to guarantee that I wouldn’t be throwing up Friday’s lunch on my lap which meant that I was going to be asleep by the time I plonked my butt on the seat. Which made me question the business class seats because i found them pointless on someone like me who spends 99% of the flight asleep.
The other half didn’t want me to sleep because he wanted me to “enjoy” business class….
and as we were in the air, the seatbelt lights turned off. He got out of his seat and said
“Babe- you know how much i love you….”
me:” Umm Yes”
“would you marry me?”
me:” are you joking?”
Seriously.. i blame the drugs… LOL
and yes.. i did say yes.
and so now we’re officially engaged.
oh… 2 cool things- not only did the air stewardess made the announcement but so did the pilot.
and apparently we might be in next month’s Qantas magazine. How awful!
When I was in Saigon… we came across this
Now that is just… SKILL
Not long after I purchased my current car (almost 2 years ago now), I was involved in a car accident. Funnily enough I wasn’t all that far from home.
I had only turned onto the main street and before I knew it, someone had plowed into the side of my car.
Turns out the driver (an old man) didn’t see me as he attempted to merge into my lane. He didn’t see me coming down (he was originally parked on the side of the road) and decided that it was a good time to move.
It was lucky that I hadn’t reached the top speed of 70km, I’m guessing the result would have been a lot different.
That was NOT the damage to my car but to the old man’s. Which doesn’t look half as bad as mine.
In the end, the cops came and fined the old man.
You know the irony of all of this? My partner now has the same make and model as this old man’s car (no kidding). 5 months ago, his car had been written off and went shopping for a new car… -_-”
and you know what was annoying? right after I had the car damaged, not even a month, it was back at the panel beaters because my partner’s neighbour (who btw can’t drive if their life depended on it) reversed into my car and left some panel damage. Their excuse?
“I just didn’t realise when i reversed out that you were that close”. You know what was really irritating about it? the bitch has reverse sensors and apparently doesnt know how to use it. Which explains why she keeps reversing into everybody’s car…
Recently I noticed some dickwack had reversed into my car and had bent my number plate. I fixed it, then it happened again!!!!
I give up.
my car is prone to accidents 
time for a new one
2 years ago, my partner and I travelled all the way up to Merrimbula (which happens to be on NSW’s south east coast). It was a long 8hr car ride to a beautiful destination. Seriously don’t know what it is with coastal towns but for whatever reason, I adore them.
I love them because I get to relax, you know the whole removing myself from the hustle and bustle of city life. I also love the markets, and finding weird and wonderful things. Except we found some of the strangest things, none stranger than this
Some of the dolls looked extremely life liked (which IMHO is kinda creepy) but what got me… was why anyone would create some ugly LOOKING dolls, especially the one sitting in the middle with it’s tilted head. Here’s a close up of it- you just to freak you out and all
Yes, why anyone would create a doll that looks completely battered and bruised is beyond me. The hair is another component that just creeps me out. Seriously, i thought dolls were meant to be cute and all, this stuff is just completely wacko.
And then the question we all need to ask is “who on earth” buys this kinda weird ass crap? I mean someone has to, especially considering we found these sitting outside a shop and there were plenty more inside.
I think i had nightmares after seeing this doll and potentially will continue to have nightmares after digging up some old photos of this just so i could creep you guys out too.
-_-
i told you, you always find quirky things in coastal towns.. even the creepy
This is going to be an interesting week…
Monday morning- I’ll be out the door at 5.30am to catch 6.45am flight to Sydney. I’ll be returning Wednesday night
then
Friday afternoon- I’ll be leaving the office at 4 so I can make it (hopefully) on time to the airport to return to Sydney with my bf for our weekend up there.
I’ve just stocked up on some travel sickness pills.
Just the thought of flying has put me off wanting to eat altogether.
-_-”
and so the fun begins.
more than a year ago i went to a wedding where both my partner and i enjoyed the music…
after nagging the other half to find out from his friend who it was that they used… i checked them out (online) and found out that they require an upfront 100% payment.
I wouldn’t have minded so much but after hearing from my partner’s friend that it had costed them $2,000. I’m a tad reluctant to be parting ways with that kind of money.
In today’s world, $2K might not seem like a lot but when you start adding up the costs of everything else that you have to pay upfront, it starts to hurt.
Plus the other factor that concerns me is that any supplier could literally go bankrupt the next day. No industry is safe from today’s economic climate and sometimes, it’s got nothing to do with the tough economic times, it could boil down to bad accounting or just bad debts.
I mean, it surprised the heck out of me when that large bridal store went out of business- sure some could argue that they overcharged etc. But at the end of the day, there were still people buying dresses. And what bites when any company goes into administration is that the money you paid usually means it’s gone. (I’ve worked for a company that went down the gurgler know so I know the process. And being small “creditors” you’d be small fry, which means you’d be the last to recover your money). So the larger the deposit, the more it hurts.
And so, we’ve been hesitant to pass over large sums of cash. The largest being a $1500 deposit for our venue, which still bites but we didn’t have a choice. That’s the standard amount-ish that receptions ask for.
But the idea of a deposit is that once the product/service is performed, you cough up the rest.
In the case of the music band, we would have essentially coughed up the full amount… with no guarantee that they’d do a good job OR rock up to our wedding at all.
and so, we’ve scrapped the idea of using THAT particular band which is kinda disappointing because now I’m back on the hunt for some wedding singers
currently have 2 obsessions:
skincare and candles.
my bank account says it hates me.
more so after paying the deposit for the venue…
It’s been an eventful day…
For whatever reason, our plumbing is pretty… shit(pun intended). and every now and again, the upstairs toilet gets clogged.
It’s bad enough that it’s clogged but the water (sewarage of course) goes back up through the pipes into the bathroom next door. We decided that if we got that drainage stuff that your pour down the drain to break down (whatever it is…poo of course) that it might work (it didn’t)..
Water seeped from the shower and then onto the tiles and for whatever reason…. it started seeping through the plastering which happens to be the kitchen downstairs and leaked through via the downlights downstairs.
You can imagine me trying to throw buckets of water out from the second story balcony of water and what looked like floating poo… and my dad swearing his head off and plunging away to get the blockage out…eventually he pulled the garden hose through the house and unclogged the plumbing..
so we managed to fix the upstairs only to come downstairs to find another problem.
The kitchen smelt bad like being stuck in the toilet with someone who’s got diarohea.. funnily enough the bathroom didn’t smell as bad (maybe because my dad had poured down the sink an entire bottle of that “draining thingy” and it smelt more like detergent than anything else.
Needless to say, most of it’s fixed (or dry) or whatever…
and after going through all of that, the upstairs toilet will only be in use provided no one uses toilet paper or takes a dump.
