You are an idiot!

freaking contract

I have been rather occupied lately.

Grumpy's mum & dad are here for holidays. Yes, the out-laws.

So far so good. I have been on my best behaviour, lol.

This is us at the Belgian beer cafe.

On Friday, I worked in the morning, but had the rest of the afternoon off. We headed out to the crazy beautiful Yarra Valley. It was Grumpy's birthday too. I have not had the time to get him a present. I am such a bad girlfriend.

Grumpy's mum & I.

Us again. Note: shadows - Grumpy snapping our picture against the setting sun.

Now on to something else. My work visa to Dublin has been approved. Which is fantastic, yet scary at the same time. On Friday, they advertised my current job in the Melbourne office. The thing that shits me the most is the freaking contract. Where is this contract? I have not seen my contract yet or signed anything. But I should prepare myself. I would probably be leaving in about 4-5 weeks. OMG. Can't believe its all happening.

I have been going to the Buddhist centre recently - Ajahn Brahm is here in Melbourne. I love listening to him speak. His Dhamma talks does not put you to sleep. And - he loves a stir. Don't we all? His topics are quite controversial at times.

Had a meditation session this morning. First timer. Ouch my legs.

happy when I don't go to work

I pulled a sickie today. It wasn't planned. I woke up, fed the dog, ate my breakfast, I even packed some cake I baked for Miss Whats-for-Lunch. The next thing I know, I'm in the toilet suffering from a crazy tummy ache.

Rang my team leader - I'm not coming in today. "Hope you get better, Jules" Yea sure whatever you wanker.

I lie in bed, crouched with my little puppy beside me. Then the sms-es start coming in.

"Are you OK Jules?" Miss Whats-for-Lunch asks.
Then she goes on about how she feels she is such a loner, buying toast downstairs at the cafe by herself just because I'm not in today. I assure her I'll be back to do my normal duties again tomorrow.

And then I get kicked out of my room, because Grumpy is trying to sleep, and all he can hear is my mobile phone going off and a lot of texting. But I thought I was the one that was sick?

I email Mum, to tell her I'm not at work today. This is what she emailed me back "Yes, go see a doctor and get an MC. I feel happy when u don't go to work and face the shit in the office."
Mum, I am so glad we are all on the same page.

I made an appointment with the doctor. And Grumpy... my Grumpy, has volunteered to take me to the doctors.... only because he is feeling lazy and is taking this as a 'sleeping in' opportunity. He calls his work to inform them that his girlfriend is 'really sick' today and needs to care for me. Lies lies lies.

After I collected my medical certificate, we head off for a nice lunch. Its one of our few days left of 'being alone' before the out-laws arrive this weekend. We wanted to try this Shanghai food place, however, it is very close to his head office. Grumpy tells me to look 'really sick' just in case his boss is also out grabbing lunch. I try my best.

And when I get the chance, I am the dancing queen....

I am really emo today. Seriously! I'm listening to Abba's Dancing Queen continuously, as I type.

Had a rough day at work. The Absolute Retard I Report To is making my life a living hell. Bad enough Grumpy was not there when I needed him. I had to speak to BFF Miss Drink-A-Lot during my lunch break, just to vent it all out. I also spoke to Mum about it and Mum reckons that I seem to be a threat to The Absolute Retard and that's why she is making it SO damn difficult. If it weren't for a special bone my boss threw at me - only redeemable end of May, I would've been LONG gone.. Mum said to just hang in there and not to do anything silly (like quit now) as it will be a sign of defeat. Yes, don't we all want to be winners?

Ugh, it is so painful... yes I am the dancing queen.. young and sweet... not seventeen though.. approaching twenty f-ing six..

I want to go back to looking at fishes.

Just like Julia Roberts in the movie Closer... looking at fishes in an underwater aquarium... it is very therapeutic...

I can dance, I can jive, having the time of my life...ooh see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen...

No, I am not crazy. I was just at Seaworld last week looking at fishes.


I want to go back to waking up at 8.30am, bright, happy, strolling down the beach...

And when I get the chance, I am the dancing queen....

No, still not crazy. I was just at Broad Beach last week enjoying the sun and sound of the waves.


I want to go back to waters, sitting in the rock pools.. and not worry about anything but my dinner reservations!

Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine......

No, not crazy at all. I was at the Gold Coast recently and I loved it!

Thank god its Friday tomorrow.

family moments captured

Its about time I posted photos from time spent with Mum & Dad.

Dad, Grumpy & I

- SUDOKU -

I've never really had a go at a sudoku puzzle before. Bought a book for like 2 dollars. Mum ended up hooked and even took it with her back to KL. Out of the 150 puzzles, I think I only did 3.



During the weekends, we would all do something together as a family. Grumpy & I decided to take everyone to the Yarra Valley - as we love it so much over there. Great wine, great food, great views..

This is a picture I took of Grumpy with the SLR camera. I am absolutely hopeless with the SLR. God help me! hahaha

This is a picture Grumpy took of me. Why must he take close-ups?!

I love white wine... I lurrrvee it so much til I can't drink red anymore!

Family picture. Mum likes this picture.

On the last Friday before they left, Dopey was at work, so I took Mum & Dad to Mt Dandenong. Which was absolutely lovely.

This is hilarious.

Mother and daughter. It was such a pleasant day.

We made it a point to have afternoon tea at an overpriced restaurant. Jam, tea, scones..
oh so bree-ish! (I mean, british)

This is us - very relaxed.

OH I can SOOO wish I could quit my stupid job and enjoy life a little bit more!

to be left alone

Isn't it odd - when I am free & available - there is nothing going on at all? No meetings with friends, no one is celebrating a birthday, no dinners, no lunches... NOTHING at all - social life > non existent.

And when there really is something to do - it all happens at once!

Like this week for example, I am completely buggered.

The girls and I came up with a last minute plan to watch Guys & Dolls on Wednesday night. It was good. I enjoyed it. But it was after work and towards the 2nd half of the musical, I was trying very hard to stay awake.

Then yesterday, I met up with a different bunch of girls for dinner and drinks after work at Fed Sq. It was good too. They are absolutely hilarious and I must admit, I had a little bit too much to drink.

Coincidently, my BFF Miss Drink-A-Lot comes down to Melbourne for work on the same day too. I catch up with her after. Have a little bit more to drink, and the next thing I know, I'm at home, throwing up in the toilet.

I go to work today with a bad hangover. First thing happens when I step in the office, my bosses PA comes hassling me to write (by hand... mind you) 10 cheques for clients. Yes, everyone has to do it. We were sent an email yesterday - asking us to come in 30 mins early for work. There has been a glitch with the system, and because of that, cheques can't be printed, so everyone has to write up cheques manually. I totally can't be bothered/ can't be fucked/ completely forgot about it. I'm like "WHAT????" I said to her "Give me 2 minutes" Then I went back to my emails. She returns 5 minutes later, reminding me she has my cheques ready. For gods sake, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! Doesn't anyone find it very embarrassing that a big company like this is sending out hand written cheques to clients? Hahaha but I write them anyways - only because I find it amusing at the same time.

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch knows I am not feeling my best after last night. She has been raving like crazy about some new TV game show, and has been trying to get all of us to watch it on You Tube.

She sends me an email...

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: Jules, did you watch it on You Tube last night?

Me: Yes I did. After I threw up..

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: So what did you think???? Isn't it funny????

Me: Yes it was hilarious.. are you kidding me? OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!! All I can remember from last night is throwing up, and falling to bed straight after!!

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: What?!???!!!

Me: You think I was seriously going to log on the Internet and watch You Tube after throwing up?

Miss-Whats-For-Lunch: Sorry, but I can't sense sarcasm through email!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that, she warned other colleagues that I was to be left alone today. Hehe - only for the best of course.

Going out later again, to catch up with BFF before she flies back to Sydneyland tomorrow.
No alcohol for me tonight.

back to the circus

Just a short note.

It is Sunday night... I go back to the circus (in other words, work. I am very convinced I work in a circus) tomorrow. F*&^!!!

I've had 2 weeks of time off - busy busy busy spending time with Mum & Dad. It was lovely.

Now they have gone home to KL, and I miss them so much already! Bahhhhhhh
