it's always better when we're together

i love lazy summery days like this one. it fills me with such a heady intoxicating feeling of impulse and freedom, almost like i've drank my fill of sunlight and warmth.

work is getting increasingly stressful. i feel like i'm treading thin ice and it's about to crack under me. it's ironic really - i took the job for experience and in the hopes that after i finished my term of work with her i'd have a decent referee to use in my resume. so right now, to upset her would be like negating the very reason i took the job, and yet i'm determined to stand my ground on the message that i refuse to schedule the rest of my life around work. so really, my choices are, do her bidding (even if it goes above and beyond the call of duty for a part time job that pays peanuts) in the hopes of a favourable reference, or refuse and.. well.. basically turn my efforts up till now into nothing.

sigh. at least chinese new year is around the corner, and nothing puts chinese people in a better mood than chinese new year.

i went to the springvale festival a couple of days ago with melonar & bena. regrettably i'm quite addicted to those delectable bread rolls and i would've eaten more than half a roll had there not been the promise of asian street food from the smells wafting in the air. it was pretty crowded, hot and smelly just like how a proper asian festival should be. also dirty, so some of the food we came across appeared slightly.. unappetising. *thinks of snails* melina proceeded to literally suck snails out of their shells with a loud slurping noise..

and i won this ridiculous purple pony that could quite well be charlie the unicorn's cousin (the youtube one) i was rather happy about this all day - i've alwayyyys wanted one, everytime i go to a carnival-ish sort of place i lust after these things. and i'm really the sort of person who never wins anything (no really, never. ) it doesn't matter how many people are in the competition, even if it's just me and someone else, i never win. i have the worst luck in that department ever. so after losing the first couple of times (i won't say how much we spent on it) i decided that i was sick of the whole losing streak and that today would be the day i went home with a purple pony.. and I DID!! it was strangely exhilarating, although the rest of the day was spent apologising to people i bumped into whilst carrying the fairly large pony tucked under my arm.

good times.
