- The whole world in the palm of my hands -
Wow, it's like the ultimate abstinence from blogging. That killed me hey! Naw, I just really haven't had the time to. In fact, (and for those who have asked) I have managed to get that job at Burswood and if you haven't seen me the last two days was because I skipped uni to go for a work orientation. Fully paid, ahuahua. Actually it would be quite a surprise if you ever saw me on a Monday or Tuesday at uni right? Yeah, I don't think it's good for me either. I'm quite behind in everything at the moment. My problem is getting this job and trying to quit the other. I was gonna do it last night, but before I said anything, Joseph gave me an apple struddle to take home. I was like ...... gah!
Since I haven't blogged for bloody forever, I'm gonna start right at the beginning. Sit tight. It's gonna be a LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG (november) one.

Chronologically, I'm starting here. We had Mel's pre-birthday dinner at Matsuri on one of the Tuesdays, on the same week I had my darn presentation. I haven't got half the pics yet but the ones on mine are real random and there was only this nice one. We took some silly videos too but I cbf uploading them. So I think its just the one picture for now.. I think I'm gonna upload some narcissistic ones on friendster or something. The food was ok. I was nice and full. We did some good hearty catching up and had to have the cake at home 'cos Matsuri wouldn't allow us to light candles in their restaurant. I bought the bluberry torte. Was really nice. YUM.
********
Shall I even go on about my presentation? Only the fact that we had a frickin' Producer amongst us who used a movie that he co-produced as his pitch.
I don't even know why I'm helping him by plugging his movie. But it's got Adrian Pang. Erm, I think that's his name.

That Friday, I skipped tute to go for my uniform fitting. My uniform is ugly. I like my cheongsum. I'm gonna miss that cheongsum. When I finished I went to Karrinyup with mum and Jayc. For the stupid Fcuk shop. There was probably like ten different styles of clothing in the whole entire shop and they didn't even have the fcuk phrase tops. But I bought some grey skinnylegs at Dotti, so I was happy. And then we had lunch which I shouted. Mum was pleased. I felt happy.
Then at night cazmichkimnme went to Curtin Idol. Full fob fest I tells ya. Maybe it wasn't really our scene (or my scene) so it was like eh. I liked Margeaux though, it has a nice setting. But I'm telling you... Burswood has so much better places which I'll tell you about later. But yeah we did end up leaving Margxz for northbridge which we did some club hopping to no avail. So we ran back to Margxz and stayed there. I think, sadly, I'm a metro's girl. I'm more comfortable there. Even if they did kick me out.
When the night did end, we went BACK to nb to eat. Found our way to... one of those restaurants and ate. And whilst we were eating we had these guys on the table next to us being shitheads. Honestly they were probably good guys but I didn't have the patience to deal with them that night. The one guy looks at our sizzling jap tofu dish and asks what it was, he asked if it was a claypot. So I was like
'Does this look like a bloody claypot to you?' while Kim told them it was tofu. So he turns around saying,
'Guys, its tau- fu.' Grr. They were trying to say stuff to us. But we were in too deep a conversation to notice them. I think they were even listening in the bastard.
The night was funny. Very interesting, I had fun. *nods* Am looking forward to CaroLyn's bday Bash on this Saturday at HS and Mets though. Hope everyone goes, ok? No invite :))
Guys, no more HP jokes, it's soo last season.

And finally my work orientation!! Believe it or not, it wasn't too bad. It was fun. Made new friends, which was the best bit by the way. It's not fun walking around Burswood without anyone to talk to. I sat near this girl called Tracey, she's a year younger and working in Food and Beverage but another restaurant. We got talking about uni stuff and MSU and ASIA peoples. It was funny. And we both knew so many people as well. Small world it is. I'll come back to this 'small world' of ours.
So we walked EVERYWHERE, even went into the hotels, riveside suites and boy are they nice. Too bad we couldn't go to the presidential suite :((
Apparantly we get staff discounts off the rooms which works out to be TOTALLY worth it. The only thing is, casual staff have to wait 2 YEARS for room discounts! Sucks balls mann..
Oh yeah, then we went to [A]Lure. Zomg! It's the coolest place ever. Seafood restaurant/ bar. The bar looks awesome with all its alcohol... .. I want to transfer there... I also wanna go there for drinks, k?
Back to small world. I was looking at the group and found this guy to be awfully [hot] familiar. Blonde, buff and yeah... naw he's a bit short for a guy. But anyway's when I heard his name called out, the light bulb came on, and he was this guy that went to my primary school. Primary school! Can you believe it? I couldn't. Of all places I couldn't imagine him sitting right in front of me today. He was Very well groomed and dressed. And seemed to have a goal ahead for himself. He's doing better than a lot of the other hobo's from p.s. But I was so excited I wanted to talk to him. And I did it today. Just to be nice and friendly right? 'Cos everyone else was talking to everyone else. So when his name was called, I asked him in the most subtle way I could :
'Sorry, was you name [insertnamehere]?' and it was and I asked him if he went to Beechboro p.s and he did and like anyone would, he was a little shocked. I really hate doing that, knowing stuff about people when they don't know me, 'cos he obviously didn't remember me. I said that to him and he was like, 'sorry, I don't remember'. Like how bummed out was I. I asked him a little bit about if he still kept in touch with some p.s people, but the conversation didn't go far. Especially when he said,
'Wow, that really warped me out. ' Man that sounds name on print. But anyways, I kinda took it offensively, and stopped talking to him. Meanwhile we were getting split up to go to our separate departments for more orietating, which meant me and Tracey were split up. That meant I was a loner again. To avoid it, I was gonna talk to this guy that I heard was gonna go to banquets as well, but as soon as I approached him, he talked to me first! I thought he was the quiet introvert type 'cos he never talked to us the whole time we were there. But he seemed quite nice! And guess what? He's a fob! (inside joke). And we talked quite a bit, I was like, damn, shoulda talked to him before! But yeah, when we were walking to our cars after, I was fully retarded for a minute or so 'cos I was walking away from my car to another car park. The one I parked at yesterday. Then he asked me if I needed a lift to my car but I was like, of course not, it's here somewhere, but he only asked 'cos it was raining.
And what do you know? My damn car wasn't there! So, embarrassed, I ran back to his car, knocked on his window, and asked for a lift to the other side of the hotel. SOO damnn awkward 'cos I was fully embarrassed hey. And he made awkward conversation. LOL, I found it hilarious after.
But yeah, that's two friends. I'm so proud of myself. As you can see I don't make friends so often, LOL.
I might leave it there, because I've already written way too much. I'll have to write it later.
