I am ashamed~

I didn't write a post for yesterday. This is not good. I know that once drop off the wagon once, I'm likely to drop off again. 良くないよ～

I had a good reason though (I guess). I had a really bad headache that was killing me and all I wanted to do was go to bed. I was trying really hard, lay down and closed my eyes and stuff, but couldn't fall asleep >.< (insomnia? but likely due to the headache as well). And kept getting called out by the parents, sigh...
Had a bit of a sleep in this morning, so I got refreshed.

What I learnt: Don't sleep so late, especially around school time. I know I tell this to myself a million times and I never listen. But hopefully this time has taught me a lesson. And really, wear more clothes when it's cold... sigh >.<

Waitangi day, so beach day :D

I think I'd have much rather stayed at home and slept in today, or continue watching Digimon or something. But I thought, since it was still a week day, I might as well go out and soak up some sun, and leave lazing about for the weekends. I ended up going into the water even thought I wasn't intending to (that always happens, I just want to join in the fun :3). Hanging out with Big Bro kind of sucks now, cuz I feel like I'm third-wheeling it all the time. Luckily I'm better friends with his girl friend than he is, so she's always on my side/prefers to hang with me hehe. Kinda sad that I didn't get to take pictures because my camera is now permanently stuffed T.T I guess I'll just have to rely on the ones other people took...

Today is a prime example of how things don't always go as planned:
- I didn't expect today to end up being a good day, especially since I was quite bored at the start (I don't really mix with this crowd, you see), but I guess going into the water made it better :).
- I also expected to go to Kiwiyo. It's so close by after all, and so delicious + all the others were going as well. Then one of the guys just HAPPEN to spill soft drink all over MY shoes (which strangely pissed me off a lot at that time O.o), so I couldn't wear them to go to the shops and had to dry them out in the sun instead.
- Finally, I made it back into town (was so tired that I was falling asleep on the bus >.<) and was so keen to go home and take a catnap. But after I made a detour, I bumped into my uni club (KAC) friends :o. They said they were going to get some food, so I went with (cuz I hadn't had lunch ._.).

So marks another significant event in my life: Had Burger Fuel for the first time in my life today :D

Chook Royale ('tis a mini burger) + combo

(aioli is surprisingly tasty)

What I learnt today: So apparently there is a fruit called Pineberries O.o. They are a mix of strawberries and pineapples, and the look like strawberries and taste like pineapples.

Tbh they look a little creepy to me... those red seeds... >.<

帰った! (I'm back!)

I skipped lecture again this morning. Seriously why do I even bother? :P. I went to get breakfast though (well it was more like a treat XD). At Moustache Milk and Cookie bar, they have a special flavor that they release every week and this week it was Tiramisu (one of my favourite flavors :D), so I just HAD to try one. It was actually quite good. A double coffee shot is poured onto the cookie, so the entire cookie is soft (so it's easy to poke the fork through) The cream dampens down the bitterness and adds the 'light and fluffy' element to compensate for the richness of the coffee. You really do need the cream though, because the cookie is literally drenched in coffee.

Sure it looks like a cake, but it's a cookie :D with cream on top

(crappy camera quality >.<)

At tutorial today, I managed to race ahead with most of the questions and getting all the answers correct, which means I actually understand what I'm doing :DDD (you have no idea how good that feels to an average person like me). Afterwards I went to pool with a couple of friends, and probably played the best I'd ever played, yet :o. This was most likely due an overall contentment with how the day was going (nothing bad happened), so I was able to fully focus on most of my shots. Even won my last game with my beloved 'behind-the-back' shot.

全体として、今日は良い日だよね～ ^^

Also: Got told that tomorrow was Waitangi day (fail, living here 11 years and not knowing that ._.), so there's no class. Not that it really matters to me, It's not like I go to uni for the class anyways :P.

What I learnt today: Apparently the slots in the post boxes labelled 'Standard' and 'Fast' actually lead to the same letter bag inside. I had no idea O.o. And that they get sorted out after they are taken to the post office (fast post letters have more stamps and a 'fast' sticker on them to indicate they need to be fast posted).

猫ーたんはひどい雨がすごく好きじゃない

今日はひどい雨が降ったから、大嫌い。I think this illustrates me very well where at one point at work, I was so entranced by the rain (because it was raining so hard) that I didn't realise there were customers behind me waiting in line.

It's not that I dislike rain. I just dislike heavy rain. Puddles soak into my shoes (if they're not waterproof type shoes). Everything gets wet, my clothes, my hair, my bag, etc. It's slippery everywhere. It's one of those times where you just can't wait to go home and snuggle into your warm, cozy bed with a cup of hot chocolate.

I do like light rain though, sometimes. I remember back in high school when I danced in the rain. That rush of adrenaline when you can't be anymore drenched than you already are and you're just hopping/skipping around, without a care in the world. One of the best feelings~ (no I didn't catch a cold after, aren't I lucky?)

What I learnt: I finally learnt to take my time with clean up so to take up more of the time I have left at work. Hahaha... (there were no customers, there was nothing to do at check out, it was really boring... >.<)

お休み～

今日はつまらない。三時間の間に、デジモンを見たり、まんがを読んだり、友達と喋ったりしました。それから、アルバイトに行きました。今、ベッドの上に座りながら、このポストを書けます。私は本当につまらない人ですね～

眠い
眠い
本当に眠い
とても眠い
すごく眠い
ね. む. い.
(寝ていく)

本当に眠いから、もっとを書きたくない。
-お終い

What I learnt today: More like what I saw today, my dad shaved his head ._. Like I came home and I was like "Who's this bald man on my couch? Holy s*** it's my dad! O.o"
すごくびっくりしました。

Get well soon, mummy~

Mummy was sick today :( so sick that she had to go to the doctors. (We almost never have to go to the doctors. I've only ever been to the doctors twice since I came here 11 years ago). Turns out she had a really high fever, 39 degrees Celsius O.o. Still don't know what the cause is yet, we shall just have to wait for the blood test report to come in.

Work today was a nightmare. I kept running out of change to give to the customers. I knew I didn't have enough change at first, so asked the boss to change some notes into coins (first ask). I also knew it wouldn't be enough to sustain me through 4 hours, but I didn't want to bother him too much so I didn't ask further. Then twice when I was the only cashier left, I ran out of change again =_=". So I had to go bother the boss TWICE (second and third ask) for change, WHILE making the customers wait because I didn't have enough money to give them. What's even worse is that apparently there was no $10 or $5 notes left, and by the time I'd asked the second time, no gold coins. How is that possible?! O.o. And customers feel annoyed about have to carry coins around, so even more inconvenient. I'm sure even the boss was annoyed that I kept asking him change my notes into coins. Nightmare.
Then on the bus ride home, these drunk retards (I can't think of any other name for them) were being so loud. One of them was trying to shush the others up, but they continued laughing and talking really loud (one of them kept saying "INSTAGRAM!" =_=). I just wanted to tell them to SHUT THE F*** UP. I managed to get off the bus while keeping my composure though.
Man I am NOT a happy girl when it's that time of the month... ._.

My friend just linked me this song, it's stuck in my head now. Although I gotta say, it's a pretty good song :D
Jack's Mannequin - Swim

What I learnt today: So apparently I've been spelling awkward wrong all my life. I've always spelt it "awkard" but apparently it's spelt "awkward". So fail ._. (just like the time where I used to spell available "avaliable". But don't worry, I've fixed that :D)

So much to watch, so little time

I don't even know why I bothered to turn up to uni today. I pretty much skipped my only class and stayed in Ic0 for like 5 hours. Well I had to hand in my assignment, but that's about it. Saw a few of my friends, the usual people playing games haha. Bumped into one of my old friends, kinda caught up (although we don't get along THAT well, so he just kinda pissed me off). Went to La Couronne's again today :D (I think I'm getting addicted to them). I bought a tuna and cheese bun like last time, a peanut butter bun (interesting) and a mexico chocolate, since it was the only chocolate bun there (last one left too). I expected it to be average, covered in chocolate polo stuff and that's it. But I didn't realise it had chocolate in it! O.o. OMG that moment I realised when I bit into the chocolate inside, it was so delicious!!! They should REALLY make those more often! (I think they were only available today)

 OMG chocolate filled! Om nom nom~ (yes sorry it is half eaten so doesn't look very appetising ._.)

I finally finished Digimon Adventures today :D (that's season 1). So happy ^^. Even though I had already watched the last episode in the beginning, I decided to watch it again, just for finality's sake. Now I've moved onto Digimon Adventure 02, wonder how long that will take me to finish XD (season 1 only took me about a week, and it was 54 episodes). Also I obtained Sword Art Online from my friend :D very interested to watch and see what it's like since a lot of my friends say it's really good. I also got Clannad. However when we searched up the plotline, it sounded like it was one of those very depressing storylines with no happy ending, so I'm not sure if I want to watch it.... Especially since I JUST watched a really sad episode of 下一站辛福 ToT. Cried so hard that my eyes hurt and my nose is still stuffed.

What I learnt today: That there are now 649 pokemon (excluding the ones from pokemon X and Y) O.o. And apparently in the game of X and Y, you can catch all the other pokemon from all the other generations. Have fun catching 650+ pokemon, people!
