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.

:)

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.
