It's ThAt tiME oF the YEar agAin...

registration... still yet to hear back from them and 1 July 2012 is the due date... seriously, unproductiveness and inefficiencies are the curse of this society...

work... found out that Collette is coming back 3 days/week, Deanna is returning to amputees and Nat is leaving for Blacktown Hospital and Angela's leaving as well... our numbers are slowly dwindling... other than that, nothing much to report, aged care is still the same, busy...

went to Otford/Bald Hill Lookout, temple and Kiama on Sat with pong and prisy, it was such good weather that day, cold but really sunny and nice... we also stopped by the lebanese bakery and had zatar... yummy... went to attend this free workshop at Bunnings about how to prepare walls for painting and it was actually quite useful, next week's topic is on painting... it's hard work and money will be needed to buy the tools we need...  so I am hoping that papa will come and do these physical work... 

with regards to the property, spoke to the agent today and was told some unsettling news, that the tenants are moving out next week and that the vendor is looking to rent it out again if we don't settle soon... so hopefully, things will come through, I really hope that we get this place... cross my fingers and toes... I even prayed about this when we went to the temple so...

 finally watched protect the boss, and it's actually better than I expected, still yet to finish, but the characters are funny and the main male lead Jisung, really acts well, the female lead is ok, but I just don't like her expressions and the way she talks, I really think she has too much plastic surgery done... Jaejoong's character starts off as boring but his interactions with Jisung are hilarious... I definitely did not expect to like the show... no new shows atm, waiting for Big and I do I do to finish, which will be another month to go... so may have to watch repeat shows in the meantime...

DAmN yOU...

damn you , registration, firstly for getting my hopes up that my registration has been approved and I don't have the same problem as Amelia and Tina, now you send me an email before the deadline telling me that I have to be supervised for 12 months and have to retake the academic module for IELTs... I was so pissed and upset when I received the email on Friday... I have decided to appeal this decision, which meant that I have ask huge favour from Kate to write a letter proving my English language skills and speak to Karen asking her to complete the referee report... and hopefully they will reconsider my application... so annoying...

yesterday was another shitty day as well... raining the whole day, dropped pongie off at uni for her exam, came home for awhile, and went to castle towers to exchange the chips becos I bought the wrong flavour, it was so packed, I had to drive around to find a parking spot... and then had to go to hornsby to attend my dental appt, got to westfield, there was a sign outside the carpark saying it was full, but they still allowed people to go in, so there I was queuing to get in and queuing again to access the top parking level, and when I arrived, finally, was then told that I had to go out again becos the carpark was full... so I had to drive around and park on the street... after the dental appt, went to macquarie to wait for pongie, again, same situation, had to drive around a few times and wait around for parking... finally found someone leaving, so I signalled and waited, then came this white car, full of asians, I signalled for them to go ahead and that I was parking, the next thing I knew, they parked in MY parking spot... I was furious, I reversed, rolled my window down and yelled at them... all I saw from them was gestures indicating that there was another car leaving across from the spot, I was like NO, I was waiting for this spot, you assholes... I did not actually swear at them though, which on hindsight I should have, and I was furious enough to go scratch their car or something... I was like don't let me see you in there, otherwise who knows what I would say and do... talking about it now still gives me the shits... damn asians...

其中一个改变人生的决定。。。

finally finished watching Queen Inhyun's Man... yay!!! it was such a good show, one of the best shows I have seen... rewatching value: 10/10 :) long weekend, not doing anything special... watched Prometheus yesterday, it was ok, confusing for me, and a little gross at some scenes, raining all day since yesterday... so we are all stuck indoors today... 

finally decided to buy the property, now waiting for the conveyancer and broker to call me back, hopefully tomorrow, and will be transferring the deposit, and get all the checks done, 10 cooling off days... and after that, exchange of contracts, and becos there are tenants currently, we have to give them 30 days to vacate... and have to sort out the bank stuff, I have got 3 bank accounts now, and it's getting so confusing, cos money have to transfer here and there... once the tenants move out and we get the keys, start of the hard work ie cleaning, painting, washing... still thinking of whether we should be installing flyscreens... after that, more money to be spent on washing machine, fridge, vacuum cleaner, microwave, kettle, etc... and moving all our stuff... the only big items are probably the bed and the bookshelf and the clothes rack... maybe have to rent a van or something, but then who's going to drive, so maybe have to spend more money and get a mover... everything needs money... just thinking about these is enough to result in a headache and insomnia...

I WiSh moNEY wouLd FaLL from the Sky...

finally got my new car... decided to name him Hyungie... it's really good, still trying to get used to the feel of the car, but will always remember Auris... the Bluetooth feature is the best I think... storage space wise in terms of the compartments at the front seats, not as good as Auris...

finally got my registration confirmation, so that's one load off, Amelia and Tina had to retake the IELTS Academic module... thank god... the saying 'the early bird gets the worm' is right... 

bank pre-approval obtained, now waiting to go see the apartment at Waitara for the 3rd time to confirm that everything is working and that this is what we want... if we really get the place, I am going to be very broke for a while... hopefully we have enough money to pay the necessary stuff... so we'll see... 

work wise, nothing very exciting, it has been busy a few weeks ago, but it's settled down now... Deanna has decided to stay in aged care until recruitment can be commenced, so that's not too bad... 3 more months before rotation, looking forward to cancer care actually, I think I will also learn lots... 

watching this show called "Queen Inhyun's Man" recommended by prisy, it's actually really good, I was so sucked in that I finally succumbed to watching it before it ends, and the shitty thing is bcos it's only shown on cable tv, the subs take forever to come out, and I am even resorting to watching the raw episodes now, which I hate... it's really annoying... other than that, still watching running man every week as usual, no other nice shows... long weekend, tomorrow going to see the place cross my fingers and hopefully we will finally own a place... sunday, planning to go watch 'Prometheus', nothing planned on monday, apparently it's going to rain over the long weekend... it's been freezing cold in the mornings and at night recently... it was 4 degrees this am at work...
