saturday night at the W





the cake that i could not get over...!

it's my birthday and i'll cry if i want to.....

almost more impressed about having a bf who thought of cake
than a workmate who used excessive amounts of work supplies
or a dog of our own to call what we pleased (pookie)
or a birthday croissant plus coffee

or dinner at my fave thai restaurant that was super exp and i will never be allowed to forget about (!)


i know i'm a spoilt princess...
it's certainly not my fault...

my birthday present

supposedly a cross between jack russell and shihtzu, but the vet scratched her head and looked confused...before coming up with,

"did the breeder mention multiple fathers???"

poor pookie, he has no known father, luckily he is not a human and we therefore won't need to worry about paying for years of therapy where he learns to talk only of himself and how much he hates his parents and learn to be okay with being angry...etc etc etc

my new karen millen shoes are nowhere near pookie

xox thank you B, you're lovely

the only cheerful couple walking around ikea..

i haven't the heart to take a photo of my wardrobes.....my entire room is a wardrobe...
...of unfolded clothes..peppered with magazine stacks, on the bed under the bed next to the bed...
EVEN AFTER A TRIP TO IKEA!! i ended up dragging b into the photo booth... i always wanted to do nonphotosticker booth-ing...
and i ended up buying children's plastic furniture instead of proper furniture my own size......
i have let's say, three days left to fold everything! oooohhhhh feeling the pressure!!!

the madness must stop this sat

i’m going to ikea this sat..
i moved to my new home in january and…
i adore storage options, post-its, and furniture…
i have no idea why my room does not reflect my ocd, anal retentiveness, and compulsion for colour coordinating
it is all very uncool
i even have post-its in my ikea catalogue for crying out loud
as further encouragement, i am banning myself from clothes-shopping until everything is settled! (plus i just bought scanlan&theodore last month…)
don’t laugh, just sympathise

i can't wait for tian to save me from myself...

my friends, and B's friends are crazy for facebook.com
if i could link EVERYTHING i do online to my wall on facebook, then maybe i would...
but i sat there for three hours staring at the screen until i noticed the icon "applications"
in todays battle of the sites to help you procrastinate
43things defeats facebook resoundingly
in addition
friendster has fallen off the map
and myspace who?

Untitled

i bought this lubitel camera a year, two years, three… who knows, off ebay…
the postage was 15pounds… the camera was 5pounds…
aside from the principle of having dragged it (in excellent condition no less) across several continents…
i’d feel like a fraudster if i don’t learn how to use it before i turn 30.

you're only golden for a moment

ohhhh move over superviva

it's like flickr with lists
and tags
and links
and lists
and cheers

F Y I

Re annoying people

do read and let me know

my thing is to do either the opposite (and tell them it's "opposite day", my least fave game in kindy but gosh it's fun now!) or to do EXACTLY what they say in the SLOWEST most IRRITATING WAY

you can't possible accuse me of being passive-aggressive...
or sarcastic (moi? NEVER! JAMAIS PAS!!! C'EST INCROYABLE!!)

ps oh yes... i do once in a while read informative articles!

i love a nice cuppa coincidence

oh! B just called me just after i emailed!
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh creepy!!

so far on superviva.com

Things I Want To Do

quite boring...

someone had "decide when to sell chickens"

i need to add something absurd to my list...like

"make more small curtains to COVER THE WINDOW"

or

"learn not to fall over"

or

"stop grandma from bleaching my clothes orange" (she's at it again, idonwannatalkabbouddit)

makes me wonder

i shall ponder how idiotic i am, and how it is i can walk about without falling on my face every day as i go about doing silly things; whilst i watch season 2 of will & grace

did i mention i have no funds until wednesday (payday!!!) because i spent it on my two fave things? well i did...
and my two fave things are
  1. my car Kravitz
  2. scanlan & theodore (new honey bronze harem silk trousers i LOVE them)

bought the trousers the week before last in melba-toastie..and then had to wait a nerve-wracking 7 hours to tell B what i had done... eeks! i'd already consulted myself during the walk (yes, i then spent my last 2 dollars on coffee) and found myself GUILTY of FECKLESSNESS and vowed to turn a new leaf, as soon as i found some fabulous earrings to wear with it next paycheck!! (hence i joined superviva.com ... but which then had one person declare "sale purchases are NOT an emergency" BLAST)

no, i don't know what is the matter with me

but i'm trying to budget with my 3dollar diy habits, aren't i?? throw a girl some couture once in a while!

cheap n chic

hah! scoured in bottom of my purse today and bought this charm curtain that one puts together (my nails are frayed from pulling everything apart over and over)...
it cost 3dollars! i thought:
"hah! that's cheap and entertaining... hullo goal no. 2 (save money) totally achievable... i shall do cheap DIY hobbies instead of blowing entire wages on pants and the stupid like"

only to find, that not only does the 3 dollars not even cover half a window (which i had been FULLY prepared for... i mean 3 bucks! big deal)

well, well, well, push me over and slap me silly and call me a goose...

cos the thing covers like 1/15 of my window... i shall have to go back and spend like... who knows (i cannot measure obviously.. and i cannot do my 3x timestable)
SIGH
worse still, B will have deja vu from the time i bought my curtains which were transparent (i did not realise just how useless they were), and which failed to cover a single pane of glass... i also had to buy my curtain piece by piece...
BLAST!!..and to think i was so pleased with myself this evening...

hand me a medal, i'm a productive human being!

this morning reading issue 18 of frankie on the train to work...
...which suggested why don't i join superviva.com and do something about my resolutions
AB FAB why don't i, i thought

so i did, after 20minutes i had 2 goals down:
  1. do really well in uni this semester
  2. save money

and then to feel like a real goody two shoes, i printed out two past papers, for crim law, which i will be unable to answer, since i have not given myself a headstart by READING anythink...

but nevertheless, i'm off to a start

i feel better already!

no idea what to do for no.2, i shall go copy someone else's ideas at superviva.com ... that's what it's there for innit?
