something to say

this post is split in two.

first half.
spent last friday with carrie, it was awesome!
went to lane cove shops and chilled at gloria jeans for a surprisingly long time
each person comfortably settled sipping eagerly on a delicious tim tam crush
with a shot of coffee and sitting on big luxurious sofa seats. the room,
airconditioned and empty with a subtle tint of darkness made it the most perfect
place to...well...chill.
bought stargirl by jerry spinelli (i think that was the book everyone in year 6 read.)
jammed and carrie and i learnt 'somewhere over the rainbow' and realised jason
mraz isn't as good for ukelele and guitar as we thought it would be.

failures and mistakes are the mother of success

above is what my dad taught me today, its an old chinese saying
basically today was my second shift and it was SUPER stressful
and SUPER tiring. i worked at quite a busy time (around 12-4) but
12 to 1 were the most busy!
I kept doing things wrong, and i didn't know how to do stuff
and customers complained, and there were customers waiting
and i felt like i hadn't been taught stuff
and bascically i was so overwhelmed and exhausted from
trying to do things right but failing but having to continue anyway
and deal with it in a matter of seconds for four hours that by the end of the shift
i HAD to order a chocolate shake with oreo topping.

i think thats my release. ordering unhealthy doses of maccas food.
i predicit in the future when problems get worse i'll just resort
to eating and buying a larger portion of unhealthy food and eating if after shifts.
i guess i'm just being teenagerish...but the truth is.
and this is the truth. i am a non-humble person and most thing i try
so far in life i generally succeed and i'm not that used to making so many mistakes.
yep. so i lived in a rock hard bubble. i told this to my dad and he said...
"well this world you're experiencing now, its closer to life"
unfortunately thats true... but i liked my cosy little bubble. too bad you can't go backwards.
but my title today, what my dad said, it did make me feel better.
and he said managers much rather you ask a lot of questions rather than none.
it shows you have initiative.
anyways.

yesterday carrie came over and it was SUPER FUN! we recorded
our cover of the song 'my time with you' by david choi and kinna grannis.
and being not humble....it actually sounds pretty good!

on monday i redecoed my room. basically started from scratch. so here it is! took about 2-3 hrss!

late new years

on new years:
  • ate at a random chinese restaurant
  • watched 9:00 fireworks at darling harbour which was AWESOME
  • ate a smartie pushups at like 9:30pm
  • took a tram back to car with my mum
  • went home
  • walked to a bridge near my house
  • saw the 12:00 fireworks
this sounds super awkward and pedo-ish but i saw this cute couple kiss when the fireworks began
and it wasn't a really long pash but it was super cute. ok. awkward rant over.

and maccas!! was alright. there are HEAPS of buttons on the cashier and i had to wear pants 1000000 sizes too big ...at least i got a belt? i didn't leran that much..only how to make drinks and mcflurries :)
