All in all the pics do not show how wasted I really was! haha maybe next time.. . . ..

STOCKTAKE: TAKING ACCOUNT

I just got home from stocktake at work 7pm til 12:37am im physically drained yet mentally im more alert than I am during the day! Possibly because I was downing cans of coke and stuffing my face with pizza like there was no tomorrow! So much for my session today! haha

Stocktake was actually really fun! I got stuck with all the shitty jobs but atleast they let me tag along with nathan which was a treat! Vaj was trying to impress the new manager so he was being extra bossy! I forgive him tho he lets me bludge and get away with doing absolutely shit all when im on night shift. Working with Nate was refreshing he is the right balance between good cop/bad cop (yes he is almost a policeman woahh) and knows when a joke has gone too far, unlike some people!

My hilights of the night included me unintentionally bagging out Penrith...but hey how was I sposed to know that the people eavesdropping on my convo were from the west! geeeez! all I said was that if I went to uni at Penrith I would rock up in my pjs.. . but before you start shaking your head at my snobbery my pjs are decent enough to wear out!!! trackies and a jumper whats so bad about that!?! She was this foul mouthed woman anyway so it didnt bother me that much .. . but still!!

Another hilight included munching on vegetarian pizza mmmm I rarely get to buy vegetarian as everyone in my family would prefer to be paying $9.99 for meat on their pizza~ ahaha what felt like an endless supply of cans of drink was so unTA! soo unlike Franklins to go all out on us! hehehe

Maybe i'll just fill my time with greys anatomy until I get sleepy hehehe yay tomo off! no commitments! nothing to do but major project oh f*ck! (p.s jay im not foul mouthed!!!! just stressed!!.!)

LET LooooSE.. .


Jay always asks me: "Why bother having a blog if noone reads it?"
My answer to him is I really dont update this blog for anyone else but me. I think its cleansing to have an archive of events in my life, to look back at moments, memories, things that annoyed me, made me happy, sad or depressed. This is the best way for me to rid my life of junk, let loose and and really let go of my issues...and boy do I have issues!

I havent really told anyone about this little secret place of mine...I can bitch and moan, jump for joy and dribble as much as I want, it just saves me from having to bore anyone else with my crap that doesnt want to hear it. oh but dont get me wrong I still manage to bore quite a few people with my silly boring stories of my life, like the time the serial killer followed me down central station tunnel and to avoid him i went into the bag store in the tunnel only to have him come right back to my side when I reached George Street some 10mins later! FREAK!!! now THAT was scary!! But besides those kinds of events this place of mine is for the little things, the annoyances and grievances that I go through, the petty fights not worthy of being complained about...its all here and accounted for. . . ... this is the only reason I keep this space its selfish but its the only thing keeping me sane .. .

WOOOHOOOOO

Ive had the best week driving around! Shopping! Eating! Spending QT with Jay! Shopping! and downloading! downloading to the max man! I think in the last 2 days ive managed to download about 3.5gb of music, tv shows, youtube vids and pics! haha YAY!

I must say tho the hilight of my week has been eating crackers and cheese whilst reading this months shop til you drop mag! haha My wishlist is slowly building up, im not materialistic I just love having pretty things to look at! hehe

A few things on that list include: Gucci 1510 sunnies in black, entire mac cosmetic range hehe, black beaded necklace, 2hr dayspa treatment :) *hint hint*, Black fitted light overcoat, Black Fendi Spy Bag...hehe I might stop there getting a bit carried away there I think!

Last night was Fun with a capital F! To start the night Jay and I shared the yummiest fishermans plate ever from Carpaccio on Norton St...mmm the octopus and prawns was to die for! mmm it was sooooo goood! Off to Leichhardt Universale Hotel celebrating Christina's 22nd Birthday Bash!! I got dressed up in my new dress (the Grab dress I wanted in grey but Jerome being the nice guy he is gave me a discount on the only black one in store coz Glue screwed me over so much so I just settled for it!) and my new dragonfly necklace from Christina! All night everyone noticed we were wearing the same necklace...maybe coz my dress was so damn lowcut!! hehehe slurrryyyyy! jks! I had a fun time going my usual crazy crazy to the music much to the amusement of Christinas pals esp Kriselda and Vanessa hehe

We got Phil and Rob up n dancing and I think Leezar was shocked at my crazy crazy dancing! hehe I tried my best to get Chris wasted! but as usual she was composed as ever, maybe a bit tipsy almost setting her dress alight! hahahahahah funnnny

4 of my fav ppl + some other guy??? and I downed the yummiest butterscotch shot in the world! As usual Christina and I had the same reaction: mmm its like downing the caramel sauce from a sticky date pudding! mmm hehehe Its like downing a shot of sugar but oh was it good!! and it also guaranteed a supply of energy for some more crazy crazy dancing!!

Its a bummer that Anya had to leave early but not before we did shoutsies of Paraiso + Lemonade and Vodka + Lemon Lime...Jus sed the Paraiso smelt like cat wee grr hhehe just coz he doesnt like lychees!!! Anya was paranoid all night asking me if she stank! hahaaa funny tho! Try to get pics up for you jay :D

Anyways tonight should be fun! Im supposed to be tagging along with julz the sick bitch - literally! ehehe im going as Pussy in Boots and Julz is going as a shedevil hahaha fancy dress YAY! Thats all - xx nettie

LET THIS GO

Isnt it amazing that during semester my room is so clean and tidy, everything is put in its place and my bed is even made! Isnt it funny I can find the time to everything other than uni work! I expected to stay home and work on drawings all day today, unfortunately it didnt happen that way. Im also supposed to be home sick...hehe However as it turns out someone has it in for me and keeps on presenting me with opportunities to escape! I somehow got lured into picking up julie for a feed and a short shopping trip costing julz 95bucks and 75 for me! hehe and yet I still dont have my cute grab dress hanging in my wardrobe!!! humppphh how ridiculus!!!
I also reverse parked which was a treat! thanks to julz whom so kindly forced me to practice to park by refusing to park for me! geeee hehee

Back to my purchases: I bought this cute button up sheer white blouse its unfortunate that I have to button it up tho im not really one to button and unbutton, rather slide on and off. It makes for easier access...hehe kidding!
I also bought this cute blue dress which julz had bought the black one of..it looked so cute on and different and it also happens to accentuate the right assests! hehe my purchases totalled 75 bucks but its still not my cute grey plunge knit grab dress!

The reason for this post is basically for me to let go of the last of my methods of procrastination, if ive posted for today, I cant really do it again, or can I...seems like I have to get back to sketching again :( its too painful to go thru this again next year im going to need a miracle to get thru next week! .. .

ITS TIME

The past couple of days have been so pleasant! hehe I have a car to drive around, work has been fun, im anticipating 2 weekends of birthdays maybe make that 3 in a row, the jet plane has taken time off work to take me shopping and chillax before my future is decided upon, ive had the most random catchups and caught up on plenty of time in front of the idiot box...its awesome! hehe

However I think its high time I adjust my priorities in life, where do I want to be in a years time, certainly not fretting over a f*cking major project all over again. I need the sense to apply my self and get over the 'I wanna be a good designer'...at this point I just wanna graduate and get a f*cking degree. Throw the plesantries out the window, there is no room for optimism today, after all the spinning wheel will turn...4 days of grace 3 days of pain and its only just begun...

TURN IT UP

The Johnta Austin Turn It Up videoclip is finally on youtube.com yay!! I think im in love!!!

I just cant seem to get enough of this song it gets me all warm and fuzzy, cuddly and lovey ehehe nothing gets me more than song writers turned performers, those that were once in the shadows, but then come out as amazing artists that just blow you away both lyrically and musically...

I cant live without music blaring through my headphones, I feel so lost without my ipod keeping my company on train rides, bus rides and whilst im shopping as a loner! Its like I live in my own world bopping my head to tunes only I can hear, completely ignoring the ever so polite shop assistants...but I love my Johnta, I love my Megan, Jamie and Fabolous, I listen to them so much I swear we could be on a first name basis...oh how I wish I had a little i-dog to bring my fave beats to life *hint hint* its almost October ;) hehehe

After leaving the car at work and getting good ol Nathan to drive me to parra so I didnt have to park in the scary carpark, I visited Trish at work so she could help me sort out my ideas for major project...I have a week to pull my act together and develop a substantial problem and concept solution before they kindly tell me to take a year off to come up with something better...oh im so screwed!

Had a good catch up over a coffee and some delicious cookies and cream cheese cake with Lisa after brainstorming with Trish all afternoon. haha such a hectic day!! tomo I start work at 6am and I got sooo much to do!! argh! youtube.com is distracting me as usual but atleast everyone is out and not on msn to distract me even more! haha julz is usually the culprit tho!

anywho im off to chillax and try get get rid of my flu like symptoms -xx nette

I FEEL LIKE IM SUFFOCATING

Geez this semester hasnt turned out like I expected...maybe the fact that I may not be graduating with my fav industrial designers in the whole world!! I dont understand why I cant be allowed to design 'something pretty'. Im all about form, I never used to be like this tho, I used to be function all the way! I dont know what changed me...maybe studying it for 4 years just helped me get over trying to make the world a better place and just making it a 'prettier' place to look at. Which reminds me I went shopping at glue today looking for my grey dress! alas! not there! and anyway spoke to umm i forget his name, the 'manager' and he aksed me out of nowhere what was up?! Agat said i was walking around looking like a zombie...argh this is what uni is doing to me I cant stop thinking, I cant construct sentences when talking to people, I dont notice anything, constantly walking into people its so frustrating! -remind me to breathe please?

I met up with Agat for 'coffee' this evening which ended up being a 3 course dinner!! haha I had a really fun time probably since she was preparing my meal for me! hahaha she even prepared for me the soft bit inside a bread roll and butter...I wont eat the outside just the soft fluffy bit in the middle ehehe im so not a picky eater!! just dont put anything on my plate that I wouldnt eat!
Its not often we catch up these days but it still feels the same which is a relief. I think its really nice having someone whom knows what youre thinking without you having to say anything...

Another thing I practically begged Trish to meet up tomo night to help me to figure out what I should do for my major project...im gna crack the shits soon! badly! haha im so grateful she's willing to drag my ass outta trouble, coz im sure im not!! - nette

MY 7 DAY DRIBBLEATHON

The past week has been pretty FUN! ahaha slightly hectic but fun nonetheless... probably too fun considering I still havent been able to come up with a topic for major project! SHIT! despite that tiny detail the rest of my time spent this week has been filled with eating, chilling out, shopping, bag work with Hany, eating, making the trek to mtd to visit the sicky jayjay the jet plane, eating, lame attempts at parking, eating and public transporting it...full on! haha

Full circle last saturday was relaxing, after work I had planned to go crazy with my favourite crazies, unfortunately uni work had already managed to ruin my fun fill weekend. To make a bad situation worse Julz made me crave max brenners !! What can I say I caved in hehe but I did want to catch up to see her nonexistant european tan and sexy Marc Jacobs hangbag...HOTNESS TO THE MAX! hehe I drove (shockahorror) and i parked miserably! hehe
After the most scruptious, most creamy, most delicious, most fattening trilayered milk, dark and white choc mousse on yummy praline base garnished with strawberries and melted chocolate and ICECREAM yeeesss~! We decided to head off and indulge further in a late night snack at maccas and I managed to park most terribly! mayyte what havent I done wrong driving! im such a typical asian driver! ahaha

Monday brought the first day of the last semester of uni (fingerscrossed) :S Christina and I rocked up to uni 30min late with no idea where to go! haha such typical behaviour for us silly girls only interested in the aesthetics side of design. *cursing ugly and over complicated designs under our breath* Our first meeting brought back a flood of chills, nightmares and cursing over last semesters dissertation attempt but lunch at the Loft with Krystian and Simon shouting rounds of beers each, people leaving and people joining in on our convo from tax to breville to fibrous vs stringy to wine at mamas and greek weddings, helped to curve any negativeness til much much later. hehe mmm vanara had turkish bread and a variety of dips mmm foooood

On a side note: WOOHOO i cant wait to attend my first Greek Wedding!!! I cant believe theres no bride and groom kiss!

Tuesday was officially two thousand one hundred and fifty nine days with jayjay the jet plane.! yikes! hehe so to celebrate we ate the biggest most filling rack of ribs EVER...mmm Pancakes only 5 min drive away! oh so dangerous! hehe

Wednesday was the first of my days off this week! JOYOUS!!!! :) I lazed about all day til 3pm and started my boxing session. haha first attempt at exercising post max and maccas night...eurggghh killer!!! I went to see Jayjay the jet plane and had yummy grilled lamb...mmm boys in the kitchen the way it should be! hehe

On another side note: I was picking oversized lemons from our tree and I never knew they had thorns! I got stabbed by the longest thorn man! ooouch!

Slept in on Thursday how fantabulous! My mum had a day off too so was trying to convince her to come shopping...I really really want the cute grey grab dress! I want it now!!! I couldnt convince her instead she made me buy her cream :( went to parra to beg maria to get the cute grey grab dress from penrith ...alas! she wasnt in! hehehe bumped into julz and managed to get her to take me home so extened my shopping expedition for a few hours longer! yay! :D
Anyway we made our way to the mac department at Myers and julz bought a few things and we were assisted by jen and lous cute asssss primary school buddy! he is absolutely oh so cool! such a pity! ;) ehehe
Oh and I also forgot our 2nd maccas indulgence for the week! haha El Maco mmmm maccas fries mmmm

OH SO many dribbles for this past week I dont think I can continue any longer hehe im off to return the car I stole, i mean borrowed...I wouldnt have to borrow it if I had my own car!!! then maybe I could actually learn how to park a small car!!!!! hahaha

im out - xxx nettieeeee
