sister's challenges today@ westfield. obviously lots of people are hung over and overworked, and today IS the first day of non holiday pay. everything that went wrong did, and all she did was walk downstairs to buy lunch. hearing her very humourous (and what seemed dramatically horrific) experience at the food court makes me feel that some days are better spent at home under the proverbial blanket, if it wasn't 34 degrees outside already :)
hung out with kenny's grad friends @ centennial. quite fun. met sarah and erica (alas, incidentally NOT grad group). both cool chicks :) too bad the day was very csc centric rather than actually more just social gathering. kenny being his usual distracted self and kept stompin on my feet so i began to stomp on him whenever he backed into me without looking. i hate unawareness. aah, i am a bitch.
xmas was a treasured day with ceri, anton and kylie, and of course kenny the absent-minded toe-stomper. shame i didn't end up taking a pic with kylie in it. she's an aspiring performer (or already a performer about to give it a shot up north to london). on good 25th Dec, we rocked up at ceri and anton's place and chatted...then ken went test drivin the combi van (same one featured in "cars" - the animation coming out soon) and bought ice while ceri n i prep'd some things. then off to pick up kylie and they loaded a 4burner trolley grill into the combi van and set off to cremorne point. yes. cremorne point.
here were rich c*nts living in million dollar houses (or renting..i don't know) with waterfront views, areas to park their rich c*nt sailing boats, sitting with a wooden chair/table set, having a picnic and drinking champers from crystal flutes. and we, the random bogans we were, decided to wheel the barbie half a kilometre down the quiet footpath and us girls carried the picnic and food from the other entrance to the waterfront reserve. a fair 5 min walk lugging coke, meat, vege kebabs, salads... and met centrally right outside the entrance of the rockpool.
we were too busy having fun to be takin' photos there but the day was lovely...and we continued barbie-ing back at their unit...and following are a couple of photos :) 2 boys being...boys...and ceri posing on the balcony, third one is of the food that i ate!
oh btw, i've begin to progressively change bits and pieces of the page...yes, it will look silly and minor (the changes) but i'm just having a bit of fun with it over the next little while :D

final final day @ cognos. month end and boss ain't being ontime about it all...sigh...
wonder how late this will roll out to be?
anyway, this could or couldn't be the final post of the year. new year brings on alot of amazing challenges and prospects. this is the first time i'm looking forward to new year with a certain sense of direction. feels good.
thanks julya for shoutin' us all dinner last nite at nove cucina. the vege pasta is hands down the best out of them all - GO VEGOS! a shame that people had to go home.. i didn't, but it seemed everyone disbanded for work today.
will be heading out to karaoke with cindy for her bday...wonder if interesting drunken photos will grace this blog... :)
begin drawing again, so you mite see more of my stuff on here soon...may be entering an art comp. doing more auditions yet again....looking forward to a callback for the film that i dont think i'd be called back for. but we have our dreams eh?
anyway, bludging at work coz boss ain't doing his bit is all good...could be the final time i'm doing this at this company. might have to work my ass off from next year on if i am to have any money at all!
cheerio! merry non-denominational summer holidays!!!

lots of people are posting once again...after andrew has dropped off the face of the earth for..some many months, welcome back :D
wongers is back and blogging away...
frank the china tourist and the officer with justice slip...on his new blog...
not much to report. hopefully the correct side of my brain gets more of a workout after i quit the mind numbing job that is 9-5. hate 9-5...can't seem to get used to it. i spose no one really loves it (right...?) but accepts it because it's stable income, you know what to expect etc...
which brings me. new path will mean i do not have the luxury of the "knowing what to expect" thing, and also brings about a 90% chance of a huge ass financial problem soon-ish, especially if i keep spending the way i have been. i feel like i've just been let out of prison. i feel like i should celebrate. but that prison was really all in my mind. i was free to leave anytime i wanted to, with consequences of course.
finances. no holiday in jan this time. it is a shame coz i would love to take a break, but hanging onto the hope of callbacks is just hell if i'm overseas...especially for something so important. chances only come once. you don't get second try, so i guess it's all about priorities and what is important, then living with no regrets if things don't turn out the way you would have liked.
life can be full of sacrifices, one would say. but i think the term "sacrifice" is a bit of a grandiose way of basically saying you are paying SOOOO much for something, and also a sense of bitterness over having paid such a high price, and the possibility of not getting the return you thought you should. or perhaps wanting affirmation that you have made the correct decision? it's like saying "you have given up alot for this" and make yourself seem selfless (blah...) because you can "sacrifice" for this great cause. funny though. would anyone give up that much if the potential return weren't more?
not a stab at anyone, if not, merely self reflection because i've heard the term being flung around, and have also been guilty of using this big word. slap on the wrist :P
