12:35 pm - ha! so it was cold this morning..
|
I'm not a wuss and acclimatised to Brisbane weather!
When I got up at 6:40am this morning in my summer nightie, it was 10.8 degrees and I was cold... I thought, toughen up Sydneysider, it can't be that cold!
But given the typically drafty queenslander I was staying in... and now the temperature recorded... YES. I was cold and it's OK!
current mood:  sick

8:08 am - Hail to the bus driver man!
|
The bus driver this morning was so awesome, he saw me trying to run in heels up the road and stopped at the bus stop for me before I even got there to hail him :D
And then he dropped me at the bus stop that is the closest one to work :D
Hooray for awesome bus drivers! :D

Is totally rocking my world right now :D
I'm trying to resist the temptation to bust a move because a song I dance to a hip hop is on randomly.. haha Thanks Tony for showing me this site :D
I woke up this morning with super energy and feeling skinny... managed to bounce out of bed, washed my hair... got into work early.. and forgot my lunch! :D
I'm getting a haircut today... at cadillac barbie.. which is like the Doppelganger Hairdressers of Brisbane, so this is going to be interesting! Going to try and be less conservative.... maybe. haha

8:21 am - When your lover says I miss you in the middle of the night...
|
You run to him right? Or in my case... you ride. I'm a silly girl sometimes. :)
I had a pretty horrendous ride in this morning. I left Chapel Hill at 7 and got to work in Spring Hill at 7:40. I stalled 5 times (my chain needs greasing... grr.. and i keep flooding her at the lights)... and sat in bumper to bumper traffic on the Western Motorway, going not much faster than an average 40km/h.
In QLD bike riders go up the inside or the middle... but I thought "no, I'm a terrible rider, I need to practice my slow ride"... and thank god for that, there was a cop car sitting at the end of the motorway, who'd nabbed 2 riders.
I'm so tired now and i've a headcold as well. :(
current mood:  exhausted

8:33 am - How can they get it so wrong...
|
When I was in Sydney, the BOM was pretty much accurate for that day for their predictions. Even the day before you knew that what they said was going to be right.
But since moving to Brisbane... i've discovered they just cannot predict the weather up here. It's supposed to be a shower or two all week this week. But its absolutely bright and sunny and just the odd cloud? WTF?
Even the radar show's no rain:
:(
I could've rode my motorbike into work. No doubt it will poor down this afternon, but GRRRR.
current mood:  annoyed

7:34 am - A bit of sappy goo to start the day...
|
This one reminds me of mine :)
About a Boy
When a boy is quiet ... millions of things are running in his mind.
When a boy is not arguing ... he is thinking deeply.
When a boy looks at you with eyes full of questions ... he is wondering how long you will be around.
When a boy answers ' I'm fine ' after a few seconds ... he is not at all fine.
When a boy stares at you ... he is wondering why you are lying.
When a boy let you lays on his chest ... he is wishing for you to be his forever.
When a boy wants to see you everyday... he wants to be yours 4 ever.
When a boy says ' I love you ' ... he means it.
When a boy says ' I miss you ' ... no one in this world can miss you more
than that.
Life only comes around once make sure you spend it with the right person....
Find a Guy .. who calls you beautiful instead of hot...
Who calls you back when you hang up on him..
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep...
Wait for the guy who ....kisses your forehead...
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats...
Who holds your hand in front of his friends...
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you...
Who turns to his friends and says, ' That's her!! '

4:18 pm - Sometimes I wonder... Is anybody out there?
|
I do suppose that if things are going well, then nobody really needs to talk to me. But sometimes it's nice to know people are there and that they will share my happy moments. I'm proud of how far i've come.
Love you miss cass for being so awesome today! *hugs* And Kath for being my lil ray of msn sunshine in the day :D Don't know what i'd do without you two!
And April for always replying to e-mails!
*falls asleep at desk*
current mood:  grateful

5:01 pm - Harriet passed the test...
|
She's all OK to ride!! My assessor was a chick and she had even less clue than me, we spent about 10mins looking for the engine number... gave up rang the mechanic.. then spent another 5mins with him on the phone but I found it eventually :)
I'm thoroughly exhausted though it was extremely stressful with the hills and i'm really tired and lacking in balance. Going to wait until 6:30 before I ride home though, it's just not worth trying to negotiate the traffic. Plus I have to do this scary bridge thingy at the end of Ann St and it's going to be interesting!

12:05 pm - Motorbiking Adventures
|
I rode to work in the city this morning!!! Peak hour traffic (yes we have peak hour in Brisbane, only it's actually an hour) was a little crazy, I only got cut-off once and the only time that anyone was a bitch to me was in the carpark where I put the bike! Some woman overtook me???? Wtf?? Rude!
And I had to put petrol in the in bike too. Cost me $7. haha Damn thing gets heavier though when you put petrol in it!!! I still look like drunk charlie when I ride though :(
I also have to stop riding with the rear brake.... poor harriet. Good thing it's a new rear brake!!
I have to take her to the dept of transport this afternoon as they need to sight her for the change in engine. I just hope they don't decide there's something else wrong with her that I can't see and the mechanics didn't pick up! :(
current mood: tired

8:05 am - So tired...
|
Due an unscheduled plan change, I ended up going to gym last night over in Roberston and had the best time! Only problem was I had some much adrenalin going that I couldn't sleep until about 2:30am this morning... and again I had to have a shot of frangelico to do it :\ grrr so tired today.
I've got Blue card induction training this afternoon which is going to be fun to stay awake through & its through lunch!! Seriously who puts training at 12 - 4 and expects people to be attentive :(
So tonight shall be stir-fry, packing and maybe assignmenting if I don't fall asleep, but will probably end up being curled up on the couch watching a DVD :(
At least being at training will mean i'm not on my computer sulking over the loss of facebook & myspace *sigh*
current mood: sleepy

3:34 pm - Day #2 without facebook/myspace...
|
...Argh!!! It's a killer :( Hopefully the cravings will wear off soon.
It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't waiting for an e-mail which hasn't come yet (which I don't think is going to come :()... and if I wasn't waiting for the minister's announcement and was actually motivated to work!
Sooooo many uncertainties right now!!! :( :( At least Sydney people are back at work today so I have people to e-mail and posts to read! But otherwise... i'm a sad bored nonetta :(
Tonight I think will be some form of running or swimming.. hrmm, stir-fry for one, assignmenting, packing & sleep! :)
current mood:  lazy

5:48 pm - Times are changing....
|
Sitting at my childhood desk in my room in Sydney, i've just finished making notes for my Project Supervisor training for work. I'm up for a promotion soon, but there's a lot of work involved in my own time of course; nothing new with KBR. I pause to think about what to do next and glance at my CD collection. My eyes fall on a purple CD by a band named Lewis. I open the CD, and i'm reminded there is a picture of the much younger band members on the inside cover. I glance to the production date noting it's 2001 and my mind wanders to thoughts of how times of changed, what's happened in my life and how i've changed. I realise that really, change for me over the years, has been sheltered from me.
For other people I know, change has been far far more gut-wrenching, earth-shattering and life-evolving. And yet they live on without whinging or complaining, having experienced ife in a way I would never even want to imagine. They are some of the most amazing people I know, my true insipration and have my eternal admiration just for having been such extraordinary people.
As the rain falls on my window, a typical grey sydney winter morning, I think about the times i've sat at this desk, stuck inside studying for HSC exams or completing uni assignments wishing I had a better life. A voice sings to me in my to head.. hold on to the ones who really care..because in a mmmmbop they're gone.. and the urge to listen to Hanson overcomes me. I give in and put on an old CD from 10 years ago, and I begin to think about those extraordinary people. I think of the time one of them said to me he thought I was so lucky because I would always have a home to go home to. The tears begin to fall down my face as I think of the extraordinary people who will always be my home to go home to.
current mood: lucky
