It seems I only blog on my off-days now..
It was my friend's birthday today..yesterday(it's past midnight now) so I decided to go surprise her. Bought a card and 2 small cakes and turned up at her doorstep randomly. Having a car around makes things possible!
Talking about car, I don't think I have mentioned this at all, but we got a new baby. A mazda3 maxx in deep crystal blue!! Technically it's not my car. It's a family car but at my disposal haha. Loving it very much still. The GPS is really good, it shows which lane you should keep too, what the signboards on the freeways say etc. Audio is fantastic, 3 speakers on the dashboard, perfect for blasting anything and everything. Driving-wise..it's pretty much the same as the next car on the street. The engine is a bit noisy though although they did channel a bit of a sports car sound to it..if that makes sense. I can't decide if choosing deep crystal blue was a mistake or not though. Saw another model in that colour at the dealership and fell in love. It's like a midnight blue-black colour..sometimes it looks black(especially under the shade) but it's blue too. It's..a complicated colour to explain. But my point was, the first time it rained and the car was parked outdoors, my heart broke LOL. Shattered by the millions of raindrops. It was once nice and shiny and beautiful and now it's quite...dirty. And visibly dirty at that, because of the colour of the paint D:
I've also been spending too much money online. It's a love-hate relationship...I'm terrible when shopping online, it's like my money rains down from the heavens or something. Is it normal for working people to calculate how much they're spending in work hours...like something costs XX, that's XX hours of work?!! Because I do it....all the time......CONTROL. Control..
Contacted Apple yesterday too because when I applied online for replacement chargers (for the recall), I only received 1 out of 2 (I applied for those 2 separately), and now the status for both of them are marked as "closed". WHY. Started this online chat thing from their support site, the person asked me how can I help you, I replied, person disappeared-.- only to email me back not long after saying they've recorded the case and and happy to continue helping me when I contact them again. If not for the extra "safe" plus I got from the new mac I might have flipped. How hard can counting and posting according to serial numbers be so hard for an established organisation?!! If I can get a mac delivered to my house so quickly after ordering online, I don't see why it doesn't happen for the chargers. Surely there's a system in place, it can't be that hard to post according to what you receive. What's worse, I can't apply for another one using those serial numbers..because it's just not allowed-.- I honestly can't be bothered dropping in to an apple store because finding parking in that shopping centre is 100% nightmare, especially now where I think there still is some construction going on for more shops/parking.
Sigh. As for the study status. Well today's update on that is Nada. Zilch. Reading the law will do your head in if you're not reading it with a clear and alert mind. Seriously. It's written in such a roundabout way with so many unnecessary words that just makes comprehension even more challenging. Because having to sit down and read the law is not challenging enough. I'm not going to lie, it's interesting when you actually sit down and get into it but the actual task of having to get into it is so unappealing atm. The language used doesn't help increase it's charm either.
It's going to be a long day....

It's been quite a restful pseudo-weekend for me but the weather has been so unrelenting. Yesterday was so hot which meant last night was unbearable. Today it started cooling down and it looks like it could start raining any time soon.
Between watching videos and working on my cross-stitching project, I have managed to do zero study. Oops. I'm starting to think I was too ambitious when I bought that cross-stitching set on eBay..I wanted to do something big but I had no idea it would take me this long. It's been months and I haven't even finished a sixth of the whole thing haha. When I've finished a third of it, I'll post a celebratory picture LOL.
Had an extended chat with a friend about work and it seems she really has it bad. The people you work with really do play a big part in how happy you are at your job. It's quite surprising to see some people be so mean when years before, they had been in the exact same position, going through similar things. Isn't that just human nature..we just forget when we think we're all that. Hopefully things do improve for her though. You really get to know what it feels like to be at the bottom of the food chain in the crazy society. Life has so far gone study study study and now work work work.
Sigh.
