seriously... my luck has not been good this past 2 months... had the car accident a few weeks back and now, Auris decided to die on me this afternoon at the petrol station... was on my way to macquarie centre when I decided to stop over at caltex to pump petrol... paid for the petrol and went back to the car and it would not start... and there was a long queue behind me... had to apologise to the drivers behind and went into the store to see if the attendants could help... they were nice enough to come and see if they could start the car, but Auris just would not start... so they had to manually push the car to the side... initially one of them asked me to steer the wheel and use the handbrake to stop if I need to... it sounded easy but when I tried, it was really difficult to turn the wheel... so in the end, one of them got into the car and the other pushed the car... and it did not help that it was boiling hot today... it was disgusting... so Auris is now parked aside, there was no shady area... and I called roadside assist whom told me that they would be there within the hour... so I was waiting at the station for more than an hour before the guy finally showed up... diagnosis was a flat battery... decided to change it on the spot and that cost me $150... I was worried that I might not be able to turn up for work the next day really... and whilst waiting in the store... I saw Angela... seriously it's such a small world... and yesterday bumped into Charlie at Daiso... after the battery was changed, continued my journey to macquarie and it was sooo crowded... did my errands and came back home...
seriously... maybe I need to go pray in the temple soon... although thank god it happened at the petrol station and not in the middle of God knows where or on the highway on the way to work...
other than that, nothing really much happening... still have yet to hear back whether leave for April has been approved, and pong has got me hooked on this Korean variety show called Running Man...
oh and work wise... the new MRT OT has been recruited and she started last week... she apparently worked at Nepean before so alot of the people there knew her... other than that, she seemed nice enough...

COUNtDoWN to XMaS sTArts...
this post will mainly be my thoughts about the Kpop concert... there were as expected alot of asians and minority of caucasians... it was pretty packed, especially in the more expensive seats... it was actually quite hot that day, when we arrived, there were already lots of people there, not only kpop wannabes like us, but whole families there, with young kids tagging along...
did not know most of the bands who came, and I was really disappointed that SNSD only sang 3 songs, and there was some issues with the microphones, which was really annoying... I enjoyed most of the performances... and the good thing was, even though my camera was not the greatest and I could not really see their faces unless I watch the screens, I enjoyed the 3 hour show seated... reason being... prior to the start of the show, there was this man coming around offering a free upgrade of seats to the ones in front, where you are seated on plastic chairs (oh and talking about chairs, the seats in the stadium are really crap!!!) and are at the same height as everybody else, whereas where we sat, it's sloping downwards... so when the show started, people started standing up on their chairs, which meant that other people would also have to stand otherwise you can forget about watching anything... so prisy who had the gold tix (courtesy of a gift) was standing for the whole show, and as expected she was complaining at the end... so thankfully, even though the seats are not great, at least we were not uncomfortable and not tired from the standing... on the whole, I did enjoy the show and glad that I went... cos apparently the SNSD concert in s'pore is so expensive and even then, the tix were sold out really quickly...
that was pretty much the main highlight at this stage... looking forward to my next day off at the end of the month, I have learnt my lesson of not leaving such a long gap between my ADOs, I have been spoilt with having ADOs every month now and becos I had the Oct one during the long weekend, and the next one is 6 weeks later, I am really feeling it... aged care is so tiring and busy... and monotonous really... and after my ADO this month, xmas parties... the aged care one which I did not feel like going but feel like I have to go, is on 2 dec (fri) and the dept one which does not sound too bad this year (bowling, dinner and laser tag) unlike the one last one (thank god I did not go), is on 3 dec (sat). The headache is the aged care party has a traditional costume theme, which I don't have, cos there is no way I am going to fit into a cheongsam... have tried looking at costume shops online, no success whatsoever... and they are all so expensive... it better be good food and company...
oh and another thing which has been bugging me for awhile and I blame this entirely on Ren... awhile ago, he said to me that he has decided to matchmake me with PT 1, despite me explaining and saying no, becos PT 1 is much younger than me and younger than pong... it would be really weird... but no, Ren kept asking me off and on and there were some really awkward moments when PT 1 and I are in the same room with Ren and he kept dropping these comments... and now, for some unknown reason, he has decided that maybe PT 2 would also be another good candidate... so the whole cycle is starting again, me saying no again bcos again, PT 2 is also younger than me and I am not interested... and it just seemed inappropriate... and who knows whether PT 1 and PT 2 knows about this... or is Ren just joking around becos... hey he's got nothing better to do... so now, not knowing whether they know, and I still have yet to gather up enough courage to ask and expose Ren's joke... it is really awkward and disturbing at times... and I so did not have this problem until Ren decided to tell me about this stupid matchmaking thing... damn you, Ren, this is all your fault :( When will I have the courage to confront PT1 and PT 2 and expose Ren's joke ??!!! (I am still convinced this is a joke on his part btw and both of them don't know about this and I am the only one stupidly feeling really awkward here)
and now I have become hooked to Running Man thanks to pong...
