AWESOME!

I can't believe Andrew won Paradise Idol! He surprised me with his moves!

He was so stressed before the night. I'm SO proud of him!!

Thanks Anne, Lynn, Weeli & Dan for your clothing items

Now I can’t wait to use the prize!!

Mum left this morning

I miss her already

Tomorrow is the houseboat trip. I’m more tired than excited at the moment.

I hope I’ll be more excited once I get there. I know it will be good

My holidays are about to end. Sigh. After this, it’s back to the harsh reality of job applications and rejections again.

Sigh. Life is tough.......

Sigh

Today was probably one of the worst days in my life. Well, the worst day in my working life anyway. I did the unthinkable this afternoon at work. I still can’t believe it happened. I could justify myself with so many excuses like it was so busy, there were so many scripts, I was sick, etc. But still, there is NO excuse. All I can say is, I’m so glad I have the most understanding boss and the most awesome colleagues who practically carried me through this whole thing. I owe them my life! Really.

Well, Lynn and Wee Li brightened up my day when I came home with ‘Just because’ presents. And they didn’t even know about my bad day.

My miniature pandan paste green tea mooncake!

The Pandora charm I’ve been wanting for so long

See! The mooncake IS tiny!

Thanks woolie!

I’m dreading to go to work on Monday to hear about the consequences ……..

SIGHHHH

Happy ending?

My heart was broken yesterday. I found out my contract won’t be renewed next year, which means I’m being ‘fired’. I guess I didn’t really expect it but then again, I kinda knew. But still, it came as a shock coz I was just joking with my boss and found out. I was speechless. I was literally stunned. A tear almost escaped but I just quietly busied myself without talking to anyone. About an hour later, my boss asked if I was ok and he explained the situation and said many nice things which was really sweet and comforting but it made me want to cry more so I just continued doing my work and did not look at him. Haha. I know it’s a bit rude but if I looked at him, I would have cried ok and that won’t be cool!

I can’t say I’m over it yet. It still hurts. Why you may ask. It’s all part of life I know. But somehow, I feel betrayed. It’s kinda stupid but I dunno. I just didn’t expect it after all that I’ve been doing and all the things they been saying. I dreaded going to work this morning coz in a way I feel like I’m just passing time. I’m just there to finish my time and that’s it. Working there became meaningless to me. I’m just being emo la but I didn’t think I’d take it this hard. When I laid in bed last night, it all sank in and I cried a bit. Andrew, being the good bf, said all the ‘right’ things but you know, it’s not as easy as u think it is. Going to work for the next 6 months but knowing all the things u do now won’t mean anything anyway.

And so, I went to work today with a brave face like nothing has happened. Mind you, none of my colleagues know this. I guess they will find out a month before or something. Or maybe at the Christmas dinner. Ya. Great. Anyway, I think I was a bit slacked at work today, and I think my boss noticed but chose to ignore it. Sigh.

It’s all part of life. Yes. Thanks. I know.

So, back to the gruelling life of an unemployed again soon? All my nightmares from job hunting 2 years ago are haunting me again. I dread the next few months of applying for jobs and all the rejections. The thought of going to a whole new place, starting ALL over, getting to work with new people scares me. What if they hate me? What if I don’t get along with my new colleagues? What if I can’t fit in?? What if I don’t like it??? What iffff????? God help me

Maybe it’s time to move on? Maybe it’s time for a change? Maybe I need new challenges? Maybe I need to learn new things? Maybe I’ve become too complacent? Maybe God wants me to start trusting Him again???

Maybe, just maybe, one day I’ll find my perfect job, get rich, and live happily ever after.

No, no. I will. Soon, I WILL find my perfect job, get $rich$, get married, buy my big dream house, have my many little kids, and live happily ever after. Ya. I will

For now, it’s all in God’s hands. All I have to do is trust Him.

He provided for me the best job the last time, I know He will again.

Yes.

TRUST

My skin is normally quite dry but now, winter is making it worse! The skin at the edge of both my thumbs split! And at the exact same place on both thumbs!
It’s so painful!! Now I know how Cynthia feels!! All the Webster packing is making the splits worse

The split on my left thumb! Deep huh?

Had a split on my heel a couple of months ago and see! All the skin has grown over it and now it’s all hard AND STILL SPLIT!
I hope my thumb doesn’t become like that

Cynthia, being ever so understanding, bought me this. It’s a magic cream! Let’s hope it works. FAST!!

Some pics from the City Church sausage sizzle. One of our most well organised event! Everything went so smoothly
Check out my Facebook for more pics.

Funny things Andrew said recently…

Funny #1:

Me: Hey Cyn, Wilson asked Andrew to be his bestman!
Cyn: Wow! Cool!
Andrew: No la. Not bestman la. The other one.
Cyn: Groomsman izzit?
Andrew: Ya, ya that one! Eh, wait. Or is it bridegroom?

Funny #2:

Me: Hey come accompany me while I run on the treadmill downstairs.
Andrew: Duwan la. I want to read my magazine.
Me: Why you whole time reading the Money magazine wan? Why so money minded now?!
Andrew: Ya la! If not how to rear you??

Will add more when he says more!

Update on weekend shopping: Bought a lot. Spent a lot. And the shopping spre e continues this weekend, starting Thursday night to Sunday!
If you are ready to judge me, don't. I only shop twice a year. Stocktake sale and Boxing Day sale. Seriously. I hate shopping

Going to watch The Chronicles of Narnia tomorrow

Ok. Told you it is a random post. Bye bye

I love Fridays

Fridays mean lots of things to me. It’s generally a happy day because:

1. It’s the last day of a long and tiring working week

2. We take turns to bring lunch every Friday and today we had chilli con carne curtesy of Jess. It was yumzzz!
So far we’ve had, chicken curry, fettuccine carbonara, zucchini slices, pumpkin soup, fried rice, lasagne, chicken rolls with garlic chesse wrapped with prosciutto, eggplant moussaka , claypot chicken rice, and pasta bake. Not bad huh?

3. I get to spend quality time with Andrew!!!

4. I get to do some shopping

5. I get to hang out with people I love

6. I get to sleep in! zzZzZzzzZZzzzz

7. I keep track of the footy scores diligently to see how I went with my footy tipping!

8. I’ll do my laundry and get fresh new clothes

9. I get to see my precious friends at church on Sunday!

10. Best of all, I just get to relax

This weekend is a shopping packed one! It started last night when Andrew and I went to Unley to shop, Target and Kmart.
Tonight we walked Rundle Mall. Tmr we’re going to Trims and Harbour Town! Woohoooo

I bought this tonight already! I LOVE cardis!!! Don’t you???

Okay, I’m off to bed to recharge my batteries. My feet and legs are SO sore!
Hope I can last tmr. My shopping threshold level is quite low

Have a great weekend!

Queen’s Birthday

… means long weekend. Long weekend means no work. No work means holiday. Holiday means YAY!!!

So, my boss, Matt, told me that one of the pharmacy partners has a holiday home near Victor Harbour which they rent out normally. This morning I got the number off him coz Rae wanted to go for the weekend. But too bad the house isn’t up for rent anymore.

When Matt heard that, he was more disappointed than I was. He asked me what I was gonna do then, and I said nothing. Just stay home. He was horrified! So he googled accommodation places for me at work!! Mind, you there were a few scripts to put through but he ignored them! He said important things first! LOL! He found a few and was browsing through. I was just standing next to him and he was like, ya I know it’s your holiday but sorry I can’t help myself. I told him to go ahead and be my travel agent. Haha

So I spent the afternoon at work googling for holiday homes on the main dispensary computer! When there were customers, he even told me don’t worry, he’ll take care of them I was just lost for words

What a great day at work

Let’s hope work is as fun tomorrow. I like going to work at times like these

Ok, only short post today while I wait for Andrew to get ready for bed so we can talk on the phone!
I spend my whole life waiting for you, baby!

Btw, we didn’t find any places to stay so I think the trip is not gonna happen

Half days rock!

But full days off rock more, obviously! Then again, beggars can’t be choosers! Since I will be working 6 days this week, my boss decided to give me half of Tuesday off so my week won’t be so tiring, and probably coz he didn’t wanna pay me 8 hours overtime. But that’s another point. Anyway, without even having to think, I said yes, of course!

So, I got off work at 1pm (I could get used to these 4 hour shifts ), rang Andrew to let him know my good news. Found out he hadn’t had lunch as well, so I told him I’ll bring him food. I went to Chinatown and bought his fave roast duck & soya sauce chicken rice. Then being a nice girlfriend, I thought I’d buy him bubble tea and custard (polo) bun for afternoon tea since he’s been working so hard!! (he’s working 12 hours everyday this week!)

I went to the bubble tea shop, ordered. The guy said, “That will be $5.60”. Opened my purse, found out I only had $10. I was panicking. Paid the bubble tea then stressed on how to pay for the rice. I was looking around frantically for a familiar face. Almost gave up when I turned around and saw Judah in front of me waiting for bubble tea too!! Boy was I happy to see him! did the small talk business and when he was about to leave, I blurted out that I needed money. SOOOO embarrassing coz I don’t really know him very well. But I got $20 So I could but Andrew his fave polo pau too!

Quickly went to ETSA to meet Andrew and he took me into ETSA’s canteen to have lunch! I was a bit hesitant at first. Shy la! I was glad I went though. I felt so special The canteen’s quite nice. I wished I had that kinda thing at work. But oh well, everyday I have lunch huddled in the back room/store room One thing that stroked me while I was having lunch at ETSA’s canteen, everyone there (ok maybe 98%) was big! Like BIG. Overweight. Fat! I turned to Andrew and asked him, “Does this mean you’re gonna be like that too?”

But it was a good day! Spent quality time at night with Zie, my bff I love half days. Feels like I accomplished so much more than a normal working day. My boss said he’ll try to give me another half day, either Thursday (tmr!!!) or Friday. I’m looking forward to it!

I just finished watching the latest episode of Gossip Girl and I felt a bit sick. I kinda feel embarrassed for watching shows like these . Last year I just thought it was just one of those typical bitchy, bratty high school girl shows. But now, the things they do make me a bit sick. I just sat in my chair for a moment and shook my head in disbelief.

How low can one get? Have can anyone not have a conscience? It made me think, is this really what it’s like out there now?
If it is, boy am I glad my high school days are over!

It’s finally here! Can you believe it?!?! After the months and months and hours of planning! It’s finally here! In less than 11 hours! I’m SOOOOO excited!!!!

Anyway, remember how I said my boss didn’t give me Thursday for camp off? Well, when I went into work yesterday morning, the first thing he asked was, “Did you still want Thursday off?” I was lost for words!! It’s either he reads my blog or GOD answered my prayers!! I’d rather the latter But, HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD???? What an AWESOME start to the 21 days of Prayer Partnership?!? Roxrr!!

Have I mention I’m SOOOOOO excited camp’s here? I can’t wait! I can’t wait to get off work tomorrow. I can’t wait to see GOD move. I can’t wait to see friendships formed. I can’t wait to see hearts touched. I can’t wait to see lives changed. I can’t wait for camp!!

Will add more charms next time when I have more money!!

Thanks babyyyy!
