timtams ftw!!!

July 6, 2009 by jaded

as you know, i’m like the 80s baby so i grew up on stuff like cheese crackers and tim tams and cherry coke and fido dido’s 7up and atari and gameboy etc.

but that’s not the point
point was, the tim tams that were available then were expensive and treasured treats and they only had the original ones.

then through the years after i moved to nz in 2001, there were tim tams with caramel *yucks* and then later on in the mid 2k, there were cherry tim tam ala blackforest and something else that i forgot..oh oh they had mint and dark chocolate..

BUT MOVE OVERRRRRRRRRRRR
and plz!!
make room for

TIM TAM CRUSH cookies and creams (YEAH!!) and honeycomb (like eating the cadbury’s picnic chocolate bar but this is full wafer cookies!! )

i will put up pictures later when my laptop doesn’t feel like dying on me but omgwtfbbqdeliciousmadcandie!

i’ve been eating these 2 flavours for like 1.5 weeks now…
still not sick of it but i am about to get sick of it T_T” but it’s so good, how can i say no?? *gluttony is my sin*

ok how’s things?
sorry i’ve been missing a little bit. i had a mini vacation. big one coming year end. been busy looking for my new replacement laptop (like finally i got my ass into G to look for a new one but actually, it’s my bf that is looking for me hahaha so lazy T_T”)

met up with my friend from wellington!lmfao. we’re all camwhoring like crazy. went to this quaint little cafe called buchon in kingsland! pls go support them cos i think they are very awesome. i didn’t try coffee because i am a snob but it’s ok la…i will always drink my instant coffee or the 3-in-1 kopi putih(white coffee) or macker’s filter coffee…seriously, like, the best. XDD

i am now on the last leg between deciding the macbook pro and the asus range..so plz plz plzzzzzzz lemme be decisive though asus looks like a winner XD (sorry chynwey) well cos carrying mac stuff in new zealand and esp when i am asian is like carrying a louis vuitton bag around (be it fake or not) and it’s shouting for ppl to rob me. NO THX! T_T” crime is very prevalent these days esp when it’s recession and hard times ><

moving on.
go to buchon if you want to practice your french. i think i did very well but got some free lesson off the french waitress….but so good la… lololol

roasted addiqtion packed as usual but it's all good. so much little retro shops there though….wish i could've bought some junk but alas, it wasn't so cos i ain't parting with $80 for a piece of junk clothings and boots esp second hand stuff XD

kookai was having a decent sale. well decent this time cos i bought some clothes hahahahaha quite cool la…. i normally don't buy stuff from them cos they like sale always the same endless stock or it's made like kinda weird..but what do i know, i ain't no fashionista.

cannot wait for brunooooooooooooooo *dies*

ok right. this is just a mini update. will be back to blog like at the end fo the week. will come back later to put up some pictures from buchon and from the timtam packs!

hope ya'll have a good week ahead. xox

work politiks

July 1, 2009 by jaded

dear boss

if u cannot handle women, please don’t hire them until you can
1) treat them with some respect
2) stop saying shit that might be potential towards harrassment suit

alright
it’s not big secret that my workplace (the most famous one to date since i work for some famous ones in the north island) anyway, no big secret lar we got some fucked up internal management and now they all trying to do all kind of weird shit.

then over the weekend, my friend lost the plot and had an outburst and like caused a scene and then the head of other dept. won’t tolerate that bullshit and had a word with teh so called assistant manager.

assistant manager went on a power tripping trip, you see?
darling, if you never had it, then you cannot lose something you never had it to begin with, right?
wtf
don’t just demand respect when you under shitload of stress and cannot manage it and take it out on others?

and if you have brains and eyes, use them. don’t take the opinion of other people, who may see things differently, than you, as the one absolute truth because you cannot decide, which is, the absolute truth.

that i believe is the truth because
i saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears.

so the drama ensued the next working day because my nolongerbutlosttheplot friend couldn’t hold her mouth. you know, i didn’t tell anyone bout her crap cos it would mean backstabbing cos it was supposed to be 3 of us that are friends but obviously, i don’t sway my thoughts for anyone and that, causes a rift.

shit lar…
so much drama.
we talk bout shit outside work over drinks but that’s that you know…if you wanna do something mainstream, i will wait for the cause to be something unjustified then ok, i will do something. but till then, if i dun need to do shit, i won’t lo.cos no benefit or satisfaction for me also? haihz.

like really
i thought my so called friend was honest cos i mean, u can’t just cry on cue if u so transparent like that but then i got to witness that she a bit mental on saturday – bring in everythin that was unrelated to the issue and worst, i had to sit there n take it in from the boss n her having a go at each other when clearly, my friend got some mental problem….

haihz
DON’T LOSE THE PLOT AT WORK PPL
it’s very damaging……
ask for time off or just leave while u still have dignity.

i’m free, for real, when my friend comes to visit.
well i hope so.
not entertaining anymore phone calls from work after hours
i mean, i’m not getting paid to be responsible after work
and nobody appreciates anything i ever do
so there isn’t any point to go on, anymore.

these days
nobody cares bout ethics
and nobody gives a crap bout principles.

i’m reverting to the “it’s recession time so if u want to open ur big fat mouth, then open your big fat money filled pockets to me also.”

i <3 transformers

June 24, 2009 by jaded

mannnnnnnnn i jsut got out of transformers and while i was in the cinema,i just realised, how much of a big kid, I ACTUALLY AM!

squeling and oohing and aaaahing and cringing and OMG-ing n fidgeting and and and and
T_T bumblebee SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE can fight so chun now! and of course, the epicness of the entire movie is..OPTIMUS PRIME!

i really think they could do without the sam n michaila kissing n i love you shit cos it’s dam forced scripted for hollywood content. won’t win oscar for story line but maybe CGI lar hahahahahaa
SO CUTE AR THE AUTOBOTS!!! I WANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT all of them T_T (the deceptikonz are fugly so u guys can have them T_T)

lolololol
my feet’s so soreeeeee right now
i could barely stand up cos it was another long ass day in hell
sianz to the 11111
i need to quit and run and leave because
1) it’s unhealthy
2) i can’t be bothered anymore
3) i don’t have fear anymore of some sort of “retribution” because if i live like that, i’d never be able to live.
ie . scream at someone now, maybe retribution later would be somehigherups screaming at me. whoah EVEN STEVEN! but this circle will never end.

moving on ~~
there’s nothing to eat anymore in this city.
so boring.
my weekend is coming soon…so close..yet so far… T_T “
hope you guys make it to friday and have awesome time in the weekend!

one more day left to book my ticket and run away for good…

am i being overboard?

June 21, 2009 by jaded

i asked my boss to use the BCC function in future when massive email staff. it’s because it’s my personal email and the one i use the least (not h0tmail or yah00) and also my other friend (who was on the mailing list said to not give it out too!)

and also because
they didn’t give us the

staffname @ workplacename dot com

DID THEY PROVIDE THE WORK EMAIL?
they didn’t
so
they infringe my privacy?
yes
i’d say so

i’m only anal because the other 8 person on the mailing list is a hotmail user.

oh yeah
SP4M time B4BY!!!11111

“i see no problem with why can’t other staff have our contact details?”

-the boss’s response

hey man
our email links to our facebook??blogs????craiglist???myspace??friendster???bebo????

if we wanted to add our boss on our fb
sure man
if i wanted to MSN my boss, sure thing! FTW!
what if those other hotmail users are famous for chain forwarding emails?
oh yeah…great man..hit me up! *sarcasm*

felt like asking my boss
oh why dun u massive email out our private addresses and also our bank account details and our wage rate?
fucking morons.

so was i wrong to voice out in an email stating for future, just use the BCC function?
i don’t think say

they, thought it was.

i’ve never held a job where the boss says, if you have a problem, come to meand you guys work it out and it’s all sweet.

but this one, but when you go to them, it’s like suicide. always, the boss blames m for every thing.
boss blames me for noob’s mistake.boss blames me we close late and i shouldn’t get paid if we dun finish in the time frame he set.
boss blames me for not reminding him of my day off even tho i told him 1 month ago, 2 weeks prior and the week itself.he says i didn’t write it down but i was there by his side, while he was  doing his fucking roster. it’s my fucking fault someone calls in sick and it’s my fucking fault nobody respects the geezer. if i didn’t need money i’d have gone but i work all kinds of jobs just to make ends meet…shit.

censorship
dictatorship

absolute control and bullying

i’d have moved back to asia if i wanted this kind of flax.

well my fault
cos i work for an asian boss

up and about

June 18, 2009 by jaded

i watched 2 movies today
and one yesterday
they were

State of Play feat Russel Crowe and Ben Affleck and Robin Wright Penn (i love them both – mr and mrs penn even though they’re breaking my heart up with divorce)

Dead Space: Downfall – i think it’s from an xbox game and so they released a prequel of the events in form of anime for the game. very gruesome and yeah…not my cup of tea…

these 2 movies – they have something missing in there. sigh. i can’t find the link but something crucial yet very little is missing from the movie to link the epic/climax part with the ending.. but oh well, could’ve been me..i could’ve been dense and therefore couldn’t understand the cause and effect.

then i watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and i was blown away.
for one, i cannot believe jim carrey was capable of acting the TOTAL OPPOSITE of himself (on/off screen)
secondly, i thought Ethan Hawkes wrote it but i was wrong. it was that tosca under the sun or something like that..shit..
thirdly, why the hell am i 5 yrs too late in watching this movie?

it was amazingly good!i actually like kate winslet in this movie. i hated titanic and the last one i saw with her, she played that german lady who was illiterate or something..i forgot..the one where she had an affair with the boy…older version played by kevin costner i think…oh well…

quite good. how i wish i could forget a lot of things too but then it’s intricate you know, this thing called memory. the brains sees everything but you are only aware of a few things. they can be stored there forever and you will never know until something brings up that event to mind even it if was a minuscule item.i forgot where i read that but it’s true. your eyes, they see everything but what do you, really see at the end of seeing? only the ones you were attentive too, i guess.

oh yeah i have an exam tomorrow. shit i’ve not even done anything bout this and i have to go in and open my mouth for 10 minutes and say something and then answer questions. am i going to die? why, yes i believe so!

and it’s freezing. i have 3 layers of flannel on and i am still unable to feel the heat. i’m sleeping on top of the electric blanket thing and still can’t feel anything. =.=

monday’s dinner

June 15, 2009 by jaded

first and foremost
i want to make zhong next week.
secondly i don’t know if it would be a success or not because the last time i help rolled these mofo was in the late 1990s when i was living wif grandma during zhong season..yeah man..my grandma made n sell these during seasons (my friend’s mom was the festive bakers…) boy was i plump when i was a kid.

so in order to make zhong next week hence this influenced my monday night’s dinner. i decided i wanted to eat it(the zhong/bak chang) ala msian style – with sambal belacan like grandma make but of course i can never replicate what my grandmother makes because it is simply impossible but i can only try to reach 70%. but i went ahead and made it anyway…it’s not as good but i’m sure next time it would be better! (the first try i forgot bout it and burnt it…but here’s a warning? when you want to cook this dried sambal belacan, then well you need to have powerful hob over the stove and also close all the doors and open all the windows else you will quite possibly die from the belacan’s smell……)

Photobucket
(btw i burnt this cos i forgot to mind my pan and it wasn’t blended properly and i was hungry..it looks like shit that’s for sure but it tasted good!)

i guess it wouldn’t matter anyway if it didn’t turn out really well as i’d hope for because it’s all done with care n love and my bf would just makan anyway XDDD he’s really getting used to msian food and i’m kinda over taiwanese food for a bit because it’s getting too bland. so instead of complaining, i take things to my hand and decide to cook nasi lemak since 2 weeks ago i made chow kuey teow in a simple style using cheong fun cos no more hor fun..but hor fun n cheong fun is same materials just cut/rolled differently but noodles is noodles so yeah… oh yeah i didn’t have a food processor so i did it with a juice blender..omfg..i want to buy one but i dun cook that much so i guess maybe a mortar is more suitable but nz house flooring cannot take that mortar crap..

so here’s the pictures
i made nasi lemak~~ yushhh`~~

the rice is really made like traditional but i forgot to salt it wtf…

Photobucket

sorry it’s not very original because i cbf to go blend spice n cook from scratch! i bought brahim’s rendang sauce packet for $4 and then thicken the gravy myself lmfao!

Photobucket

cucumber too expensive and my other half said anchovies/ikan bilis is too salty and unhealthy and blabalbalbala (mostly he cannot tahan the smell) so i didn’t buy..omg HA MAI IS $11.50 for 200g only WTF i had to mix cheap ass ha mai (dried shrimp) with the expensive stuff…the cheap shit is really SMALLLLLLLLLLLL……

sigh..

and it cost me $20 to buy all that stuff/herbs to make the belacan for my zhong and nasi lemak..my bf noted i guess it was cheaper to eat out but then i figured i ain’t paying $20 for a small rounded container of belacan when i can make this n eat it everyday until i get sian for $20… he got nothing to say….

country road got sale again!! got some pretty nice stuff there i must say and i did score something at 50% off….so freaking happy but i couldn’t leave the shop with the 2 same tops but in diff colors cos someone was making noise -___-”

XDDDD

i hope you guys have a good week ahead! i got one more paper to go then i’m off for a month..should’ve gone back to asia ARGH ….

epic tragedy

June 13, 2009 by jaded

i often wonder if my life was like a tragic story
because i may not be stricken with absolute poverty
or famine or some form of abuse
but i am enslaved to some form of tragedy

anyway
i wondered what would happen if say,
one day
i wake up and i just did what i wanted to do many yrs ago
buy a plane ticket and go off and see
how i could live/survive with a few miserable dollars.
but i might just end up dead in some alley with my organs on the black market..sigh..
moving on

so i was so tired yday
my legs literally gave way and my body couldn’t even carry me
you know, like i couldn’t even feel my legs?

i woke up from bed and stood my feet to the ground
then after 2 minutes of finding coherence
i got up and stood on my feet
but only to fall back down
with a loud thud and rolled into the closet…

it’s like EPIC PHAILURE

because it was so loud
everyone who was sleeping came rushing into my room
and my bf who was moonlighting on WOW came in to find me on the floor like a dead person which shocked him -_-
i was very much alive but unable to move..

but really tragic because
i couldn’t get up or move
i didn’t get water
and got carried right back into bed
and fell asleep

so much for getting up to get water!!!!!!!

argh…
i’m really tired of my life right now..
i think my leg is going to do that again tonight
if it does
i think
i have to go see doctor…

i spent quite a bit of my life in the doctors’ office and hospitals as a kid because i was just plain weak….

i wonder how my adult life gonna be
but cannot be that weak right?
i mean
i roll on grass and i work dam hard
my hands coarser than a labourer man wtf
sigh….

i hope ya’ll have a good weekend
dymocks in queen street having a 40% closing down sale
i went to get books
i want to get more !

take care and keep warm~

global.local scale

June 8, 2009 by jaded

so ok
i am a slacker and i pretty much, deserve this but WHAT THE F*** MAN!!! nobody said anything bout interviewing anyone to write this mofo 1.5k worded essayyyyyyyyyyy

DUDE!!!! INTERVIEWING PPL IS PRIMARY FUCKING RESEARCH not SECONDARY~~ cos i gotta process that shit
that, is too much hard work for a 101 paper . i’m trying to graduate man…pts paperrrrrrr arghhhhhh should’ve done japanese or something….

WHO WROTE THAT FCKING EMAIL gotta be out of their mind
like how i am going out of my mind.

i sure as hell remember reading “discuss” and “impact of chosen event on a NZ business” – as in you paraphrase what you see when shit happens o that business.
ie. big meteor shower befalls a town.

that, translate to
on the night of xx in the yr xxxx, a town with a population of 8 was destroyed very swiftly by tons of meteors ( abcd, yr xxxx) that had befallen that slumbering town in the middle of the night.

ok, i am not creative but it answers, the question :
shit happens and the result? shit splatters.

man..on a global scale, i am, insignificant
on a local scale, i am still insignificant.
like nz – on a global scale, they exist but they are not prominent (lol look at the griffith’s article bout how key got done over by obama~i think his article is newsworthy hahahaha )
on local scale, they still work but..not good enough!

i going nuts trying to read on climate changes impact and also the NZ/USA FTA…..

i’m really stupid as you can see
but anyway
the person who has been hogging my requested book from the library by H.J Chang for 2 months, i hope you feel very good about yourself because i needed that book for my assignment too!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
