funny thing happened today

so today me and jacky were pretty broke

cos he didn't get paid

and i haven't got paid yet either

and all we had was $4 in my eftpos

so we were just going to get two bacon cheeseburgers from maccas

but the whilst looking through my wallet

he found slash remembered that we had free mini chip vouchers from grill'd

and they expired today

so luckily he found them

so yes,

we got two mini chips to go with our cheeseburgers

we also almost got three of the chips

because i think the guy accidentally doubled ordered

but we were nice and told them

besides we probably wouldn't have finished all the chips anyway

so it would've been a waste.

i love it when things turn out so perfectly.

:)

#144

i find it a bit weird when the date is written 5/30/10

instead of 30/5/10

because i see it quite a lot

because i think americans write the date the first way

but i find it silly because wouldn't it make more sense if it is written

day/month/year

rather than month/day/year

i don't know.

i'm just saying.

#143 BHERG

so apparently thats my last name
i had to fill in this form for work
and faxed it along with the other names of the staff
and they sent us back stuff
and they labelled mine as
'Alison Bherg'
LOL.
yeah, i don't see how they managed to mistake the B for a Z
maybe, the other letter are forgivable
but seriously?
a B for a Z?

at least i got free stuff
so i don't mind too much

:D

#141 bucks

currently listening to my lectures
and this one lecturer keeps saying
380 million BUCKS
but it sounds so weird
i mean you can say
10 or 20 bucks or even 50 bucks
100 may even be pushing it
but billion is too big a number to associate with bucks
yes,
i prefer dollars instead.

ok, back to lectures now.

:( #140

its so sad when:

you make a packet soup

and you wait til its cool enough to drink

but you wait a bit to long

AND THE CROUTONS ARE SOFT!

:(

heads up

might not be up to date these days

or the posts are a lot shorter.

but i'll be

stressed for tests and exams and things

so, please excuse me :)

promise, will update them all in due time.

#139

i was thinking:
the lyric
from ronan keating's love ballad
"you say it best when you say nothing at all"
is the best way to tell someone to shut up.
or the nicest way.
haha.

phone in bra? #138

i find it really weird
but i've seen two people
(women obviously)
that have done it this week.
isn't it really unconfortable?
like i saw them both,
take the phone out
and then reach into the top to put it back it.
very odd.

speaking of odd places to put things.
i also saw a man carry a packet of chocolate biscuits in his jacket
i don't mean in his pocket
but his brown jacket was zipped up
and the biscuits were sticking out from inside
ie. the biscuits were next to his chest.
also very weird.
i also wonder, why he was carry a pack of biscuits
because he didn't have a bag
and he was travelling to the city
with biscuits.

strange, strange people.

BYE!

language barrier #137

so yesterday at work

there was this old lady who came in

and she was chinese

but she spoke another dialect that i don't speak

so here's me

trying to speak to her in broken mandarin

(if you have heard me speak, i really do suck. but i can sort of understand)

trying to figure out what she wanted

and i kept saying that i didn't understand what she said

but she kept going and going

even though she knew i didn't understand

it took me nearly an hour to finally fix everything up for her

and i was so frustrated.

sigh.

at least we figured it out at the end.

yeah,

also, i dislike when i get customers who speak mandarin

cos i'm not that good at it

especially if they ask me about things like fish oil tabs or something

but i'm ok, if they're just getting repeats

and the customer usually doesn't even really know i have shit mandarin.

there's also this old man that makes fun of my cantonese and mandarin

and he calls me 'heart'

cos thats what my chinese name sort of is

but i find him funny.

:)

he's seen jacky before

and he keeps telling me that jacky should be a boxer,

cos he's so big.

lol.

#136 DOMINOES

sorrryyyyyyyyyyyyy

i haven't posted in so long.

just been so busy and everything.

i will finish catching up on all the days

by tonight.

promise.

so tonight, i had to go to my uncles house

for his birthday

and i taught my cousin how to cheat.

haha.

no,

i mean i taught her how to play the card game cheat.

and emma was there.

even though it was a family thing.

gatecrasher.

haha, i kid.

it was so cute that vincent (my cousin, 7yo)

seemed so happy cos titus (emma's bro, 12yo)

was there

and they were running around playing all boy things

and shooting foam darts and stuff

whenever i come over these days vincent and sarah

just play their ds

haha

i'm not exciting to them anymore.

though i used to be.

sigh.

also, played dominoes with the adults

and emma's mum kept winning

like 90% of the time

lol.

but at least i did win once.

:)

also,

mum kept going about how

making the masterchef cake wasn't worth it

and it cost almost as much as buying a cake

but i beg to differ

since i only used like a bit of everything

and didnt spend that much

but i guess she meant cost

as in effort as well

but there's lots of ingredients left

and i found it fun.

and i was my first time baking a cake

so i was pretty successful for my first attempt.

♥

CAKE #135

i made a cake today

it looked like this:

pretty successful,

it had a vanilla mascopone cream layer

with semi candied cherries

and a layer of

well it said

'chocolate hazelnut praline mousse'

but it was hardly a mousse

more like a thick chocolate fudge

and tasted a bit like nutella

with praline covered hazelnuts.

the let down was the cake it self though

but i guess

it was the first cake i've ever baked

especially from scratch

and well

at least it was edible

though very dry

but i did manage to moisten it a little

by spreading the cherry syrup over it

&

i will get better at it

eventually

:)

also,

twas sonja's 21st party

had jap food which was yum

& i got so full!

but i missed out on cupcakes from the party.

:(

boo!

#134

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONJA!
love you ♥

sideways is uncool #133

so i saw this guy on the bus

this about early 30s

possibly late 20s

asian guy

wearing all fake stuff

(ie. the back of his jacky had a big 'VOGUE' writing on it)

yeah well,

he was wearing his cap sideways.

(like not slightly sideways, pretty much at 90 degrees)

i was thinking,

'what are you like 12?'

to think that's cool

and too top it off the cap had a kangaroo on it

lol.

that's lame.

#132

i really love this :)

♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! #131

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKY!

i love you :)

you're so OLD!

old

old

old

:D

---------------------------------------------

so today, i feel like i've achieved a lot

even though i really have only achieved a little

well, i did finish an assignment from 9 am to 12 pm

even though i was supposed to do it last night

but decided to take a nap at 2am

and woke up at 6am

so proceeded to sleep to 8.30am

THEN woke at 9am to do my assignment.

luckily for me, it was a relatively easy assignment.

one bit was to pretty much write a resume.

so yes.

i also did a presentation/group assignment thing today.

but that was relatively ok.

but i was only worth 2% of my final mark anyway.

yeah, so i managed to do two assessment tasks today.

but i feel like i didn't do much

because i didn't really put much effort into either of them.

lol.

taking jacky out for dinner tmr

can't wait to go eat dessert

;)

♥

p.s. whoever posted on post #129 surprise, thanks. but it was posted as anonymous, so i don't know who are.

#130

i can't wait for exams to be over & done with

can't wait to go on church camp & summit

straight after exams.

i feel a bit burnt out from uni already

i haven't really touched any work for a week

and i'm completely clueless about what we're currently learning.

but this happens pretty much every semester.

meh.

♥

SURPRISE! #129

after a week of organising

and stressing

making sure he had no way of finding out

and preping food

for jacky's surprise party

i would consider today to be a success

besides the fact that

when jacky was just coming

everyone was in panic mode and didn't know what to do

but that was pretty funny as well

:)

and there's just SOOO much food left over

like an insane amount

lol,

funny cos my mum kept telling me i might not have enough food and stuff

but i think thats an asian parent thing

and also,

there was A LOT of salad left over

i think about a fifth of it was actually eaten.

and NONE of the salad dressing bottles was used.

haha.

sigh.

i guess i'll be eating a lot of salad in the coming week.

♥

falafel #128

so yesterday me and jacky went out for lunch

in footscray

and he had bun bo hue

and obviously with that came the vegetables

and there was these vegetables that looked like

alfalfa

now you knwo when you know what it is in your head

but can't quite put your name on it

well that happened

and i ended up saying

"that looks like falafel."

LOL.

#127

so today i was buying stuff

and the chick serving these ladies

well, she wasn't too into it

and wasn't super pleasant

but also, cos they had to split the receipts

and payments or whatever

and then one of the ladies was like

"i don't like your attitude"

and i was just thinking

well, i would get a bit annoyed at that

because i work in retail/customer service as well

and i sort of know what its like

if you work for many hours

obviously you get a bit tired and everything

and you become less into it

and especially when you get really annoying customers

you can't always be super cheerful.

also, the saying 'the customer is always right'

is so not true.

but we can leave that for today.

passion pit tickets on sale tmr!

:)

although the thing i hate about ticketmaster alerts

is that they only tell you about the concert

the day before the tickets are coming out

so theres a bit of a mad rush

for me

the day before the tickets are sold

finding someone to come with me.

usually anyway.

♥

p.s. i made another blog, this one is about more christian stuff that i don't really add in here.

it won't be very theological like jacky's. more of a personal reflection type thing.

hoed #126

found out today that hoed is a word

apparently its the past tense of: to hoe

makes sense

but sounds kinda funny.

used the word today

to make a 49 point score on scrabble

:)

also, i might just say

revlon nail polish is really good

its been over 3 weeks and i've kept my nail polish on

and its in pretty decent condition

considering its been 3 weeks

it looks like how it would look with cheap nail polish

after about 4 or 5 days

i like

:)

♥

#125

i'm sorry i haven't posted

for a long while,

i promise i'll fix them all up soon.

just had a few stressful days

lots of stuff that i need to do

but yes.

will post soon :)

age #124

i love this
its so adorable
(i got it off cindy's fb)
but the little girl is so feisty
and a little bit mean
but its still cute nonetheless
but it got me thinking
how much age mattered when you were little
because i remember it mattered a whole lot to me

once i remember, when i was 6
someone's mum said i was 5
and i was like "No! I'm 6!"
as if it really made a difference

but i guess, there is a huge difference between when you're 4 or when you're 6
even though its only two years
even between a 6 year old and an 8 year old
but now there's not a lot of difference really
for say a 20 year old and a 22 year old

also, like when i was young
i went to sunday school
and i remember there were these big kids
and i never used to play with them
because i was scared of them
because 1. they were all boys
2. they were old and big (compared to me anyway)
but the funny thing is that
well, i am friends with them now
and the age/size thing doesn't matter anymore
its a funny thing
about life really.

though
when i was in school
i enjoyed being one of the younger ones of the class
because of the month i was born in
i still enjoy being the 'young' one
even though i'm not really
:)

reflections #123

Originally uploaded by nirrimi

i really quite love this.
probably also cos she has red hair
and if you read regularly
you know i like redheads.
:)
though i wish that the edge of the window
was straight
it ruins the balance of the photo
a little.
and if the edge of the window
was in the centre of the photo.
so then you'll get a good contrast
with half real
and half reflection.
but i like it, nonetheless.

yeah, i haven't blogged a photo in agesssssssss
mainly because i haven't gone onto my flickr account for just as long
because of the 'virus-on-my-computer-and-wiped-out-everything' incident
yeah, long story
but i wish i had more time
to go out and take photos.
i really want a polaroid camera
& a SLR camera
yes.

"i must become

a lion hearted girl;

ready for the fight."

Florence + the Machine

#121

i realised tonight that

i'm a bad person to drive home.

& i mean it in a way because

i give bad directions.

actually, not bad directions as such

like i know where i'm going

and i am good with directions

but

it stems from the fact that

i get scared that the person driving me will miss the street

or the house or whatever

and because of that i give the direction wayyyy before i should

and so as a reaction

the person, naturally slows down

and drives really slow til they get the the next street

which now takes a very long time to get to

since they slow down.

so yes.

i realise i do that

a lot.

also, quite enjoyed girls night tonight

:)

♥

just so you know #120

my blog title is from a song
Mango tree by Angus & Julia Stone

in fact all my blog titles are from songs.

also,

the writing in the picture is from a song

Lack of Color by Death Cab for Cutie

so yes.

slow day.

not much to say.

i like this though:

(from loldwell.com as usual)

haha.

:)

avatar #119

finallyyyyyyyyyyy, watched avatar tonight

on blueray

it was alright

the effects were awesome

but like,

well i knew what was going to happen

so thats what made it a bit 'meh'

i also came up with a bit of a theory today

sort of relates to above

just so you know

me & emma went book shopping today

so this is how this theory came about.

well,

my theory is

those who like reading prefer better storylines and substance in movies

vs.

those who don't like reading as much like the effects, or don't care about the story line as much

this is generally

and its just a theory.

but it sort of makes sense.

also,

i realise.

i have a lot of theories.

:)

pigeons. risking their lives, day by day. (prose) #118

(technically, this is semi prose, so its true and i saw it today. but i'm writing it in a more dramatic way)

all is quiet,

not a soul in sight.

but there stands a small figure

upon an iron track.

innocently pecking,

finding its daily food.

all is well.

everything is safe.

alas!

here comes a train from a distance,

but the bird, senses no danger

continues to peck for its food.

the train comes closer still,

yet, no recognition from the bird,

not even a flinch.

closer and closer it comes.

still, it continually trots along the track naively.

even closer still, the train is almost there

oh no, dear bird;

please do move away.

oh no, dear bird;

please don't get hurt.

oh no, dear bird;

the train is much too close.

fear sinks into my heart,

as the train is about to collide with the bird.

but joy!

at the last second,

it flies away.

making a lucky escape,

to live another day.

the end.

panic attack #117

had a mini panic attack today
maybe even a full blown one
it was really weird
cos i hadn't really had one that bad before
i usually just get really anxious, or nervous
where my heart races
but its usually just over uni
or exams or whatever
(yeah, my mini breakdowns slash freak outs before exams are quite frequent. just ask jacky)
but this was different
this was like heart full on racing
feeling jittery
and it felt kinda difficult to breathe for a while
and even slightly nauseated
and it lasted like 20 minutes
but no,
it wasn't over uni stuff though
more important stuff.
but still, i have no idea why i had a panic attack over it.
because it wasn't like i was confronted with it or anything.
it was the strangest thing.

hmm.

i cheat. #116

whenever i have nothing to say
i cheat.
i post random videos i like
or
random cartoons
to fill space.

this.

is one of those days.

anyway, the first time i watched this.

this made me laugh so hard.

you've probably seen it already

it was all over youtube.

but its just the fact that

grown men, who are in the army,

so they're meant to be quite 'manly'

grown mean dancing around like lady gaga

makes me laugh.

though the beginning gets boring after a while.

but the best bit was the beyonce bit

where you see their costumes.

HAHA.

jogging bare #115

jogging shirtless when its nearly winter
ok?
or just being a douche?
i say douche
i think there's a special time and place to jog shirtless
that is,
during summer
only if it is really hot
or you're jogging next to the beach
i don't know
jogging just to show off your body seems like such a douche-y thing to do
to me
yeah, i saw someone do that today
and it was around 5 o'clock
meaning it wasn't even hot
but the guy was buff
so i assume he did it to show off
hmm.

BYE!
