So many things happened after my last update, that I should update it soon… Before I forget anything… =0)
After 11th June was the 12th of June… 12th of June was a Sunday and yes, Taylor came along.. After service, we were told, by KC, that there was an Oakley sale 
going on at EPIC, Exhibition Park in Canberra… As expected, Taylor and myself headed there immediately… I’ve never been to EPIC, and wow, there were so many exhibitions and events going on.. There were many different exhibition "halls", though I am more inclined to calling em warehouses… There were halls selling clothes, books, fireworks (yes, that is legal in Canberra during the Queen’s Birthday and New Year’s), books, leather stuff and finally… OAKLEY! Hhehehehehe Well.. stuff there were DIRT cheap… I was sooooooo tempted to get so many item but at the end, here’s my bought list… 1 FMJ Minutes for AUD70, 1 A Wire for AUD100, 1 Camo Kids bag for AUD30, 2 Wallets for AUD10 each, 1 pair of pants for AUD30, 1 shirt for AUD20.. Just before leaving for Church in the morning, I was please with myself for not over spending this month… 5 hours later, I’m outta budget already… =0) But it was a good buy…
After leaving the Oakley’s hall, we came across a dog show, after scaling a fence… Dog yupping away, running, jumping, bouncing, fighting, etc… We later tried to go to the Grotheman House Markets but came to realize, they only open on Saturday mornings.. Oh well, we dropped by Civic Mall to get Taylor’s mom a Bday pressie, and we went home… Later in the evening, I went to the Fresh Food Marktets with Wee Shan, Kenneth and Chee Boon… Followed by FIREWORKS… Woohoo! Smelt of gun powder by the time I reached home…
Monday was a holiday, the Queen’s Bday… Woohoo… Took the time to spray my model in the morning. It didn’t quite work as it was too cold and the paint didn’t dry bring glossy but matt… It’s 
recommanded temprature was at least 15 degrees, it was about 5 outside… But nevertheless, that made a good base coat… Started formatting my notebook to realize I’ve got a couple of viruses within.. And I ended up formatting it about 3 times over the next two days… Yeah… I cooked curry with prata that evening.. yummy… but it was a little too spicy for me.. And no, it’s not spicy enough for you LankyDear…
Tuesday was started with a phonecall.. Lawry told me not to come in until 12 as it was really quiet at the carwash… I decided to be productive with my time and since I was awake and already changed.. I headed to school to finish up of my model and submitted it. Now I’m truly free! 
Afterwhich, returned my near overdued book and tried to borrow this book which I have been looking for ages but still unsuccessful.. What happens is, the library has 3 copies of the book, in the system, 2 of which has been borrowed, and another one left.. I FREAKING cannot find that book on the shelves and I suspect someone has lifted that copy… Oh well.. I drove to Bel Mall and deposited Lenca’s cheque, bought our wedding march’s theme, Pachabel Canon CD and headed to Church’s Co-Op Shop… I need new workpants but couldn’t find any.. Oh well… 
Took a slow drive to work, being still early and my phone rang with Lawry asking for me to be there and hour early.. Just nice… Went there, another SUPER short shift… 3 hours… Sigh.. Came home, finished installing my softwares, collected my parcel which Taylor kindly collected for me… It was my "3 row, pyramid studded belt.. Apprarently they shipped it from China… And boy is the stamp on the packaging nifty.. Guess that’s why I caught Taylor trying to lift it off the packaging! Heheheheh So that’s it for that day…
Today is Wednesday… Woke up and arrive @ work on time @ 0830hrs… I was supposed to finish work @ 1200hrs but the regional manager of Mobil came and Steve had to clean *his* car… Apparently, the CEO of Mobil Australia will be visiting tomorrow and that *was* the car which will be used to fetch him over… Wow… Anyway, I found out that petrol doesn’t bring in money to the stations anymore.. It’s the cafes and supermarkets within which bring in the bucks…
Another issue is that I have applied to move to another room for this coming semester. However, the date of moving clashes with my Brissy trip. Knowing that, I have made a formal request for a change of date. Yesterday, I went to the Cooinda Hut, the Residential Office, to confirm my request. Those MF dweeps… They didn’t get that done and now someone is moving in my room when I’m not in… I went back again today to speak to the accomodation officer herself… A little background, I found out that she was on leave for 10 days, her work is backlogged as no one wants to pick her sh!t, she’s quite an a$$hole, etc… Initally, she refused to speak to me and had a counter staff to relay messages… I realized I had to turn on my demanding mode… *demanding/a$$holic/MFCCB mode ON* I demanded to see her. Finally she came out and she gave me 3 options… 1) To get a friend to move in for me, 2) To pay for storage and move in when I return or 3) Choose another room. I flatly refused all three… I insisted that I have had made a formal request a long time back, they didn’t bother to tell me anything until now when I knocked on the door, she was on leave WITHOUT cover (WTF is that?! What a F-ed up organization), I’ve got too much study material (aka juletong wood, sandpaper, paint, upsidedown clock, etc..), etc… She still insisted no.. I offered a suggestion if we could move the *new* student into another room since he/she wasn’t here yet.. She came out with the excuse, "It’s an existing resident moving into UV and it’s not fair to him/her" CRAP… As it is for me… Finally, I told her if I can contact the moving in resident to see if we can work out a compromise, since *she* won’t compromise nor admit it was her mistake… She still said no, unless I put it down in writing.. And so I did, I drafted a nasty letter with comments such as " Christine, after returning from 10 days of leave without any covering officer…", "Christine unable to come to a compromise even when it’s clearly neglence on her side", etc… She read my letter and mocked at it.. She told me, even as I write this letter, I *might* not be able to get it thru.. I knew what she was saying… I knew there wasn’t per se an overseeing officer above her and unless I direct this issue directly to the director of the residential services.. I’ve got no edge against her.. I had to put my tail between my legs to make mention that I don’t want to blow this matter up but you left me no options… She said she’ll check on what *other* possible arrangements she can come up with… I told her I’d wait… She disappeared and I noticed her table was close to the counter and I started remarking to the other counter staff (who are my friends) loudly, "Yeah, I will definitely write to the Director..", "What sort of administration is this?!", etc… Finally, she came back and gave me a compromise, to move in when I return, and before my ski trip which is although 2 days, because of the trip I only have 1 night. Oh well… I’m glad what I’ve learnt in MHA has paid off… I will practice it more often when needed… I cannot always be a "nice guy" and get eaten.. Thanks to Heather and Michelle~
Later in the evening, I cooked some bo bo cha cha.. Didn’t quite take a picture of it as I forgot so.. Oh well, I’ve got some in my fridge.. I’ll see what happens ya… Alrighty, gtg now… Wow… What a blog… =0)
