so i had a work meeting today and it was alright, nothing much happened, just the usual reminding of the runnings of the store. other than that, my day has been quite boring just lazing around and watching tv shows. i've been meaning to go out on an op shopping adventure but i have been quite lazy and oh yeah i haven't found the time as well. yesterday i went shopping with Y but i didn't really buy anything, just a couple of books because it was cheap. we signed up to the borders vip club because you get a $20 voucher so everyone get to that stat. Y went dodgy and took a couple of cards but i only took two. so i cannot wait to spend the voucher, also i haven't received some of my books i ordered yet and in a couple of days i have to email them to complain, i was really looking forward to reading Hilary Duff's novel, but the thing is, the whole time i'm reading it, i would be wondering if it was Hilary who wrote or her ghost writer, but i like to believe that Hilary wrote all of the book, and the ghost writer edited the novel.
on sunday i had the Christmas work dinner, which wasn't too bad, i'm still the quiet awkward one. i ordered a chicken parmigiana and it was so so massive, i wish i had taken a photo of it, i only ate a quarter of it because it was just so big. actually their portions are pretty massive, so it was pretty good value, but we didn't have to pay for the food anyways. i felt kinda bad because the waitress asked us if we liked the food and i was like "yeah it good" even though my plate was practically still full. i don't really like it when people ask how the food is, because i will always say its good unless it was really really bad.
i was looking forward to having an op shopping trip tomorrow but my manager called me up to ask me to work, so i'm really itching to go op shopping. at least on friday, i am going to badminton in the morning, and if i get asked to come in earlier, i am going to grow some balls and say that i can't work. i mean, all of the time that i have been called in for extra work, i obliged because i really had nothing to do anyways.
i'm looking at my work timetable for december and i am working like crazy which isn't too bad, because then i would be saving up heaps of money, i'm trying to beat the amount of money that i made last year because uni really eats away with my money, with all the going out and stuff.
So hopefully i can go out somewhere and take some photos so my posts aren't so boring :)

can't think of a title.
Sorry for the lack of updates, its been a hectic week after finishing my exams on tuesday.
so ok, let's go back to tuesday. the exam was not too bad but it wasn't great either, kinda suffered from a mental block so that wasn't too good. after exams we went for dinner at Red Silks, which i have never been too. the food wasn't too bad but it was a bit pricey. my friends and i shared a six person banquet which we didn't quite finish. tis was quite fun but i was excited for my wednesday.
so wednesday was the day that i start back at work, it wasn't too bad but i had to adjust to spending a lot of time on my feet. time went by went a bit slow because it wasn't that busy but it was okay, i was a little impatient for what was going to happen that night. so i got home and Y and M were already there, they were early but nonetheless i was very excited to see them. so they bought some stuff for their costumes, so we were painting the ties with gold, because wait for it... we were dressing up as Harry, Ron and Hermione for the 12am viewing of HARRY POTTER. i'm not a harry potter fan fan but i love getting swept up in the craze and its fun when you're with friends, also because we haven't seen each other for a couple of weeks. Also we watched the latest episode of glee together and it was pretty good, the miniature characters. after that, we went to safeway to stock up on some food for the movies. it's so fun shopping with friends, we got a big bottle of coke and decided to bring some cups into the theatre with us. before we left to go for the movie we watched a quick running of the sixth harry potter movie to catch me up. so we all got dressed up and made our way to the cinemas, when we saw the carpark and it was packed, we got a little worried. we arrived at around 11 and it was pretty packed and we were scared that we weren't going to get good seats. so we got tickets and lined up, the theater was pretty crowded but we got some seats at the back, wasn't too bad at least we were at the front. we were like, "next time, we are going at 9." oh yeah when we arrived, everyone looked normal and we started to feel like losers, but that feeling died because we were buzzing about the movie. a couple of other people were dressed up too so it was ok.
so the movie was amazing, even if you're not a fan of HP, it is still really good but thats really my opinion. the plot was close to the book (according to my friend and now coz i am halfway through the book i agree, its weird reading the book after the movie) and the extra stuff gave it a really exceptional touch. You guys just have to see it for yourself and tell me what you think of it. i might want to start reading Harry Potter again, darnnn why do i get soo into HP when in six months it would be over which btw i cannot wait to watch part two.
So we went home at around 3.30ish and had a little photo session outside. we were taking photos next to a tree until M saw the biggest slug on the tree which made us all feel instantly dirty and grossed out. but we did get some good photos. but for the next movie we are going to have the most epic costumes with robes and whatnot.
And the next day i also had a twelve hour shift which was not too bad because i can use the register now, and i got to work inside the store for half the shift which was so much better. you can move more and lessen the monotony of working with just the perfumes. now i've got a couple days break until i start work again. i'm going to actually start my holidays and go out and have fun. however my legs ache a little so hopefully that will go away soon.

ewwwwwww.
Then i went to sleep at around 4ish because i had work at 10 the next day and had to wake up at around 9. so i was a bit sleepy and tired at work but i got through the day even if i was a bit slow and out of it.And the next day i also had a twelve hour shift which was not too bad because i can use the register now, and i got to work inside the store for half the shift which was so much better. you can move more and lessen the monotony of working with just the perfumes. now i've got a couple days break until i start work again. i'm going to actually start my holidays and go out and have fun. however my legs ache a little so hopefully that will go away soon.

the story of us
Need copies of Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows stat.
I realised that i needed to read three books before wednesday night. i don't think i will have time. ok so i kinda already knows what happens in the five book and i downloaded the sixth movie. hopefully that will catch me up, i want to make the most out of this Harry Potter experience i as i can, even if i'm not a hardcore fan. its not too hard to get swept up in the fever. seriously i can get myself into anything if everyone else is, unless its something that i really don't like. i was thinking of getting the box set of HP but it doesn't come with the original covers that i wanted and plus its $85, which is pretty cheap but i'm not sure i want to spend all of that money in one go. ok so heres the game plan, try to go to highpoint tomorrow(today) to buy a copy, if i cannot, then on monday before my exam, i will wake up early to buy a copy, get to caulfield racecourse early and start reading my brains out. i don't think that is a really smart idea because i might be a little stressed out just before the exams but its just a plan for now, and i hardly ever follow through on my plans anyways.
yep thats pretty much an update of my life, am currently cramming some PHS info but i'm not too worried. just wait till tuesday and then summer holidays for me :) although i have work for the rest of the week starting from wednesday. hope i can still remember how to sell perfumes and actually sound legit when i make recommendations, i don't think customers believe me when i say a perfume smells nice, i thinks its my tone. even though i would like to be working at the back with medicines, working on just the perfumes is less pressure packed. hopefully i can get to use the register this time, i hate it when its busy and a customer is looking at me and waiting for me to serve them but then i just stare back at them. its not my fault i can't serve you. deal with it.
and so its not a image-less post, here's a photo from the past. i like how it squeezes everyone in, that didn't make any sense, but looking at it makes me feel nostalgic even if it was only 5 months ago.
just for kicks, you guys can play a guess who game. ok so this game is highly bias and i doubt i have any readers that i don't know in real life so it shouldn't be too hard? or you can just totally ignore me.

Slow Decay
so very lack of substance today (yesterday). i spent most of the day lounging around watching daria. i have been going on a downloading spree and after exams i have a list of shows that i want to download. they are mostly childhood cartoons like pepper ann, rugrats, arthur and sabrina the teenage witch. except because they were made before the time of digital stuff, its hard to find the files to download which is really a bummer. I've watched half a season of daria and i can actually appreciate it now because i can fully understand it. the last time i watched daria was in primary school, so i couldn't quite understand it but now i do. i cannot wait to start reliving my childhood :)
can't wait to watch all five seasons and the movies, i have a feeling i will go through it pretty quickly, luckily there are other tv shows i can watch at least.
Oh yeah, i had a major breakthrough today, i think i am ready for my physiology exam, i suddenly realized that i know most of the material and i just need to touch on a few things. so that made me feel not too bad, but i am still a bit iffy about PHS, most of the psychology stuff i can make up and because i did psych before it won't be too bad, but there is so much stuff to remember. hopefully i can get it all it in my head.
well off now.
Love squealer.

this is absurd.
helllo.
i would really like to go to spotlight now because i got a voucher but it ends on sunday and the only thing stopping me from going is that i have an exam on monday which i am so not prepared for, darn that guilt. anywho i'm hoping that i have studied enough so i can go to spotlight on sunday, now i just have to explain my absence to my parents and why i would be going out on the day before my exam. i hope i can sneak out, i would be able to stock up on some fabrics in time for holidays sewing sessions, also because of the voucher, i can spring for the more pricey fabrics which is always a bonus :)
i went to school for a study session this morning, tis was normal except everyone was filling a little dead. I didn't have enough hours of sleep so i was feeling a little dead too. My mind felt weird, kinda feel it wobbling around in my head, also kinda hurt a bit. it was such a good day today so it was nice to be out, i would have stopped by spotlight but i was hungry and wanted to go home and plus i was tired.
so i was in a mood for fried stuff because i haven't eaten much fast food lately and so i had really bad cravings. i decided to make some nachos chip, kinda inspired by lord of the fries except way less healthy. i think lord of the fries is relatively healthy, or is that just something i have been telling myself to believe. also after the chips, i made some icecream cookie sandwiches, to really top off my unhealthy meal. it was all pretty yummy, but now i feel so bad because i haven't been exercising lately, but i told myself to exercise and diet after exams. the weather is warming up so it would be nice to go for runs in the good weather.
now these are my tickets, boy i feel so rich and powerful having this, totally invalid and superficial feeling though.

PS. My blog titles comes from songs so they are mostly irrelevant to the post itself, so maybe now i should really note where the title comes from.

Long Live
hello, haven't posted in a while. my life has been boring.
on sunday night i had food poisoning which didn't really feel good, only had around 2 hours sleep and had to get up the next morning for a study session. The whole day i was feeling really down because i wasn't really feeling like myself but it was alright because i was spending half the day with my friends. when i got home, i didn't really have any energy so i just slept for ages. I tried studying at night but then i was still really tired so for the first time in years i went to bed at 10.45 and slept for around 12-13 hours, woke up, showered and here i am.
i was a bit annoyed because i missed out on a half a day of studying which is going to put me behind, and i feel like i am not going to remember anything by the time the exam swing around. but its only a week until exams are over and then i can look forward to Harry Potter, which reminds me, i haven't gotten around to reading the books yet and i don't think i am going to have time, hopefully i can squeeze it in somewhere.
so yeah that was probably the most exciting thing that has happened to me since the last time i have posted.
oh yeah i start work straight after exams, which money flow, which is very much needed for the summer holidays.
i am in the mood for some really nice expensive decadent cake, maybe a chocolate one.
Love Squealer.

Please Don't be in Love with Someone Else
So today i woke up early to snag some tickets to The Maine, We The Kings and NeverShoutNever sidewaves concert which i am so so looking forward to, the only problem is that its under 18, so i spent the rest of the morning learning how to make I.D cards and searching up high schools. Hopefully our ID cards are valid because i am looking forward to concert even more than Soundwave itself, but only by a tinsy bit. So i have the tickets, and now a three month period to wait and have some anxiety attacks over, lets hope it would all be worth it and you will see me moshing like there's no tomorrow :)
These aren't mine, i got it from tumblr. But i wonder how they got the tickets already?? My is taking about 2 weeks to get sent and the tickets just got from released this morning. Nonetheless, I'm excited to receive these in the mail.
my crappy collage that i whipped up because there is no poster of the concert yet. hmm wonder if i could steal one from an info pole if they ever stick up a poster...
I am in love with Taylor Swift's new album, my favourite song i think is "Haunted." Well you guys should give it a listen if you liked her previous music, its very typical taylor but the songs are a little more mature.
Oh yeah, i was watching the first episode of Hellcats, and at the start they played "I like to Dance" by Hot Chelle Rae and had a mini fan girling moment, but i had to do it internally because it was 2.30 in the morning. i love when things happen like that, when a song you love/like gets played on a tv show, like i remember watching a korean drama and "the Climb" came on in the background, i don't think the music was meant to be there but yeah i had a little spaz.

i am screaming inside
quite possibly had the worst exam ever today. and there is nothing more i can say about it except it was bad.
Anywhoo, don't really want to dwell on that, so i i'll tell you about another thing, I went to the lolly store this morning to buy some racing cars lollies as a treat for the exam but then *drum rolls* i found some relatively cheap heartbeat lollies. so after 3 years, they finally kept their word. See, i have been looking for heartbeats for a while and i asked the lolly store if they were ever going to stock them again and they said yes, but then they never did. so yeah now they have heartbeats. i don't why i am so obsessed with them, they're not even my favourite lollies but i think that fact that they were scarce is the reason why i wanted them so much. You know that thing about "wanting what you can't have" jist.
for those who don't know what heart beats are, they are a hard lolly in a shape of a heart individually wrapped, inside the wrapper, there is the most lamest saying about love. i like the strawberry flavour the best.
this one says "True love...nature's second sun".
ok there's nothing more i want to say. but i just want to bash every gossip girl character, they are seriously annoying and have very breathy whispery/whiny voices. I'm only watching it because i really want to know what happens, even though i can maybe guess, i just have to know.
Off to recoup for my next exam.
