Work Less, Live More


My right arm is so sooooooooooore. Not from work but from playing Wii. My goodness. Not playing that again without doing some arm warm ups.

I just got back home. Spent the whole day at the city, doing some shopping. Bought that piece above, a new top and some shoes. All on Credit, so bad. Totally forgot I didnt have any cash on me...almost couldnt get home. Luckily I found some change hidden in my bag.  I don't spend much up there so I don't see the need for carrying cash.  

Work is tres BORING. already over it. Could be because I'm just cutting cake all day and night. Tomorrow, I get my hands real dirty. Woop Woop. Oh and I visited my ex chef this arvo and he told me that this restaurant was looking for a pastry chef (experience not required) Frick! could have cried then and there. it's ok. I'll work for a another 7 or so months and move down to Melbourne. At the moment I'm just in cruise mode, not worrying so much, trying to have fun.

Watched the World Cup final at the Darling Harbour. I have no idea what I was thinking, I don't even watch soccer and to be there in the freezing cold, I must be out of my mind. It was fun though. I was late that morning for work, chef scoulded me, that wasnt nice. Lesson learned.

Going to take the baby sister out now, then hopefully catch up with Jenn before I go back up. Peace out.

"Speak Vietnamese!"


Home! This ends my first week at the new job. What a relief! I'm so sleepy at the moment, stayed up half the night, sitting on the cold wooden floors of my new bedroom doing my assignment due tomorrow (sorta tried doing it on my warm bed the night before, but that resulted with me waking up to a bunch of dfhkgkdfgshhjghajgriqwyrtiyg all over the screen.....)

so the new job....at the moment...not much happening, the usual 1st week introductions. I'm going to be spending 2 weeks just slicing cakes and plating them. After that, I get to make cakes, finally! it's easy to lose track of the days there. Everyday is the same routine, wake up at the same time, eat at the same time, do the same thing at the same time as yesterday and the day before that and the day before that! Though it does mean that time does go by a lil quicker when things just flow.

I'm doing a lot better now than I did the first couple of days. Also the first couple of days were just confusing and tiring. Majority of the staff there speak the universal language of chinese. So it gets a tad tiresome being new, not knowing what to do and unable to communicate with anyone. Like I said, I'm getting better and I can just get on with my tasks now and ignore all the chatter.

Everyone is super dooper nice. I still miss everyone at my previous job. it's so different in comparison. Maybe I'm just used to working with guys than with girls. They are different...apparently. I'm at home for this evening and packing in some other stuff to bring back to my new accomodation. I got a assigned a twin bedroom to myself. and it's pretty dull. So I need to bring some more of my junk to make it feel a tad more homey.

Back to work tomorrow. I'll be working with Kristine (maybe). I hadnt gotten a chance to work with her yet. I also need to get myself a laptop 'cause this week I had to borrow Kristine's and Ken (a co-worker)'s laptops this week to try and complete my final report. Must have been really annoying for them.

Ok I can't keep my eyes open anymore. so exhausted....and I still have to see Pipe...give him my assignment to hand in :(
