Happy Birthday Baby Sis

I just finished preparing and cooking for my sister's birthday. oh and

 "Happy Birthday dear Sister of mine" :)

Should be ok this year, previous years I dread her little birthday get togethers with her friends as they run a muck around the house and that drives me completely INSANE. This year she's growing up (and fewer friends coming over this year) so it should be alright. *fingers crossed*

Last Saturday I sent what felt like a billion job applications and emails, giving me a head spin. I knew that 2/3 of my emails I sent I probably wouldnt even get a response. I was surprised when I did get 3 responses in these past two days. Although 1 was a rejection, a very polite one I suppose though, LoL. The other email was informing me that they had called me but couldnt get through, I did try calling back this arvo but he had already gone home :(. The third was a phone call yesterday from a chocolate cafe thats a 20min drive from my home. I've got an interview with them tomorrow, so psyched.

I've got to admit, for the past few weeks, I really didnt feel like working, therefore the lack of effort. I mostly skimmed ads, assuming that they wouldnt give me a chance because of my lack of experience and what not, but really I just didnt want to try. Now that I've almost maxed out my credit card I think its about time to get a new job,and heaps of birthdays coming up, dream trips that I need to save up for and petrol money that I need to fill up my new car that I'm so totally getting next week *girly squeal!*. Yay yay yay. :)

Best news of all,my beloved camera is coming back from it trip in Vietnam next Tuesday! Thats one week away :) oh and also Ken is back, woohoo.

"I want to be yellow like The Simpsons"

I bought a new necklace from Monster Threads on Sunday when hanging out with my sister in the city. Love Love Love it!

My sister's got on an iPhone...????

Experimental photos with my sister's iPhone (because my Nikon is on holiday...)

Pastry Photography

I miss my Nikon camera :( I hope it's having a fantastic time in Vietnam with Ken.

So it looks like I can't get a pastry job without having either some experience or being enrolled in Tafe to be an apprentice, dratz. So, I'm going to be jobless for a while. I'm planning to do a bunch of short courses and hopefully that'll increase my chances in landing some kinda temp job. So far I've signed up do an RSA course and a Barista course.

I plan on enrolling into Tafe to do a patisserie course. I have to admit, that for a while I did see Tafe as a place where you'd go when you can't get into anywhere better (ie Uni) but lately it seems like if I actually want to learn something, Tafe is my best option. Of course Le Cordon Bleu would be awesome but its way expensive and I hear its just as hard to land a job with that diploma as having none at all. Sucks major. Also I dread studying. The theory, gah the theory how I loathe you. On the plus side I can get exempt from half the subjects since I've already completed my Advance Diploma in Hospitality Management.

It sounds like I have my head wrapped  around studying again (and I can tell you, it was no easy choice, studying isnt my forté) but actually I'm stuck between staying in the hospitality industry or changing my career to photography (which is what I wanted to do in High school). I would study both...but both courses start at the same time. I want to go to a private institution to study photo imaging but the fees...so darn high...  

The thing is, I still love pastry and I still want to know everything about it, just in a hobby sort of way. Photography was a hobby of mine behind working in the kitchen, but it seems now, they've reversed.

Anyhows, everything starts in JULY, so I've got a few months to make up my mind.

In other news; I bought a Treeson blindbox at Via Alley and a new Instax Mini 25 camera. Yay :)

"Just smile please"

That's the best photo I could get out of my brother...I tried.

It was such a gorgeous sunny day today and since I havnt a thing to do (i.e.still unemployed) I thought it'd be nice to take my lil brother out. So I took him to the city, hung around Circular Quay, went into the Museum of Contemporary Art then shopping for a bit before we had to dash home before my mum got home from work. Fun fun fun.

Good news, I didn't spend much at all, yeah!

Also my previous boss, the one from the bar just called me and asked me if I could help him out with a shift at the bar tomorrow. I couldn't say no of course, since I neeeeeeeed moooooooooney. So looks like I'm back at the bar tomorrow. I hope I'm working the night shift and not the day shift.

I need a job :(

I could cry. I just checked my net bank and my account says "overdrawn", gah! I just applied for another increase to my credit limit...but I still have to pay credit card bill that's due over a year ago. I suck. I need money. I need a job.

Ever since coming back from Vietnam, all I've been doing is searching for jobs, buying newspapers, applying online, sending countless resumes everywhere but no luck. I'm still unemployed. I have the choice of going back to either of my previous jobs temporarily, but it's so hard to go back...I've thought about it, and its just not worth it.

I havnt been job-less for over three years since leaving high school, I've always been working, either its full on full time or just 3 days a week. It's hard just sitting at home wasting my time away doing pointless things. Plus I've lost a lil bit of passion for baking at home...it was sad when I came to that realisation. I know that when I was working, all I could do was complain about how much of life I was missing out on, but with no money and everyone else either at uni or working or just far away, whats the point?

It's really hard for me to keep asking my mum for money, I'm not a kid anymore. Although I've been borrowing my brother's money to go shopping, I know I'm terrible..

Gah, what to do? Someone give me a job :(
