My next buy!

My next month, I want this!

When work gets tough, I turn to....

When work gets tough, I turn to....

• My baby, he is always there for me ( most of the times), supporting me, listening to my whinge and be my punching bag :)


• My home sweet home, my comfortable bed, my computer, my 500 play list songs.


• My Chinese TVB series, that will keep me entertained, and not think of work at all!


• My blog, where I can blog and complain how unhappy I am, and no one will tell you to shut up.


• My GUCCI shoes! I try them on when I am unhappy to let myself know all my hard work and stress is worth it.

The reason why work has been a bitch for these 2 weeks, because of sale pack up and new staff training happening at the same time. A new staff joined Gucci last week, her name is Melissa, I have been training her from scratch and now I am sick, my cough is still going on for nearly a week. It's tiring to train new people, especially when it needs so much energy and enthusiasm within yourself, and having that one person to understand is not easy. I have always like training, and now given the chance, I feel like saying, I am not doing it at anymore. It's harder than it seems :(

Sometimes, in my work place, I feel Asians are always picked on, are pushed around, and the Aussies get away and are always given the leniency. Why is this so? Am I sensitive? This what I have been feeling for the past 2 weeks. When I first started in Gucci, I had to listen to what others say, never say NO or I DON'T KNOW, I was not given a choice to do what I wanted to, and I never whinge. However, Melissa gets good treatments, she is given a choice to do what she wants, is it because she is tiny and fragile, of she is from a wealthy family or because the Aussies are always the favourable? Today, I have tried to talk to her, and not to discriminate her with my thoughts, she is friendly but at the same time, she is smarter than all of us think, but one thing I know for sure, she is lazy. Enough of work, the stories can never end!

Recently, I have find the government pretty useless in Australia, I honestly don't like this country in terms of all its policies, I don't feel I am protected in all ways. The Workplace Relation Agreement tells us we can stand up for ourselves , and have the rights to tell the employer off if the rules are not followed, IE: lunch breaks, pay salary, hours of work, etc. I had the notice stuck on my locker, but at the same time what can I do tell Gucci we should be given at least 45 minutes break? It says we can't be sacked if the employer breaks the rules, and we can file for a complaint. Is it worth doing it and lose my job? It doesn't make sense, when the government encourages us to do it, but yet I don't see any protection and given in a way. My sister works in Subway at the moment, and she is being exploited, and worst of all she doesn't know her rights, she does not get paid for the extra hour they made her stay back, giving excuses she has to finish her tasks, BULLSHIT! She does not have a payslip for the hours she works, she is underpay for her age, and this is has really make me mad, and the only thing we can do is file a complain, but only when she quits! What does it matter then? If she was to stand up for herself, and file a complain, she will lose her job, but yet the government said, she can't be sack! At the end, who is going to protect her? I find this contradicting, and I hate these people taking advantage because we are overseas residents, or because we are Asians!

Last Saturday, Billy's cousins sister's friend was sexually harassed at a bus stop, while waiting for the bus. An Aussie man came out of no where, pretend he was checking the timetable, and then slap her buttock, and left running away. What an idiot and pervert he is! She was shocked and upset, and yet didn't know what to do, and she was afraid to report to the police, afraid her parents might find out. This is so ridiculous! Discrimination and sexual harassment, advertised everywhere, government supporting us in a way, but at the end of the day, I don't see how is this happening. I am so disappointed with this country. I thought it will be a safe one as compared to my home country, but I guess everywhere is the same, is the people that have problems.

Tomorrow my day off, I need a good rest. I would like to share my Gucci collection shoes, one of the things I turn to, when I feel stress with work, or unhappy with life, I cherished them like my babies :)

My new patent wedges, so sexy!

I am off to dreamland for now, till then ciao!

Home sick :(

I miss home at this moment, right now, right here, and I so wish I had my family beside me by my side. Where is that one person when you need them by your side, to care and love you? Why is a call so hard to do? I feel so sick now, feels worst when I am stuck in the room, having nothing to do, and worst fo all, some people giving lame excuses about not calling. You have 24 hours a day to at least make a 5 mins call to ask how am I, but you took 15 minutes to explain all reasons why you can't call and ask how am I? I find this pathetic and ironic. You have been slacking in this relationship, and I can see it but yet I don't understand why don't you see it for yourself. I know in a relationship, is not all about minding who does what, but at the end of the day, I am a girl with emotions, and yes I am sick and is emotional, so why is it so hard just for you to care more than usual.

Every weekend, I try to get my days off just to spend the extra time with you, but yet everytime you made me feel that you are too busy for me and having to put me second. We had this talk before, and yet you cant get the point I am going through.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO CALL?

I am sick!

I am coughing, I don't feel good. I don't want to go to work. I want to call in sick!

:(

Birthday weekend!

Last weekend was the best weekend I ever had,we ate, drank ,sang and most importantly, hanging out with the right crowd :) On Friday night, we had Karaoke at the Glen, I honestly don't sing, but then with the right crowd and some alcohol, I was singing, or shouting, or let's say screaming, but I enjoyed myself. The night out was to celebrate Marcus's and Billy's 26 Th birthday, with a huge cake, but unfortunately we could not not finish it. One late night down, one more to go. The very next day, we had dinner at Sarti, an Italian Restaurant, the food is great, but the servings were too small, but then again, is fine dining. After dinner, we had dessert at Max Brenner in QV, and then headed back to Billy's place for some wine and a Monopoly game. I suck at this game, Chris and I went bankrupt at the first round, we had to mortgaged or sell our properties! We played till 3 am, and realised that we need to get to bed, another late night has drained all of us mentally. The signs of getting old :) On a Sunday, I decided to just sleep in, relaxed and watched some movies, and be prepared to get back to work on a Monday, I had the worst time because I so wanted to continue my weekends.

I miss the weekend, now I am back with no weekends except for some Saturdays, which I really treasure so much, but yet having one person to understand is so hard. Why don't they ever try to understand or think of our feelings and situations before doing something. Maybe if you could ask or let me know in advance, things wont turned so ugly, and I will not be upset. It's all about respect and communicating. You think for your partner first before thinking for yourself. This is how life goes when you are committed to a person. I am just a human with emotions, and not one of your events of lifeless things, when somehow you can be so committed to the things.

Anyway here are some pictures of my last weekend :)

Rain rain go away.....

Melbourne has been cold and wet for the past 2 weeks, it's a good thing, we are short of water and now the water storage has increase. I guess I am not a winter person, I dislike the cold weather, wet surroundings, and most of all it makes you feel moody. Work this week is a ''bitch'', I am really stress, too many things to do yet so little time. I forgot important dates, I don't recall receiving sms, and one morning, I wore my sister jeans instead, wondering why did I put on so much weight! Anyways, I am sorry if I have not been replying every one's call and sms, I was over exhausted and mentally tired.

I have requested to take next Friday, Saturday and Sun day off, it's a long weekend for me, claimed my time in lieu, I need some good rest, a break from Gucci. It feels so good to have the weekends off, I have decided to request for almost every weekend off, or at least a Saturday off. It's good for myself, besides I feel can do more with my friends, not having to worry to work the very next day.

Today, I had a facial, I had to clear all my pimples on my face, hidden ones, and now it's so red and ugly. I will need to wait at least for a week, before it's all clear and clean, the reason why I am staying home tonight. I feel good now, my face feels extremely clean and fresh, no make up, just red spots and scars at the moment. I reckon ever since I took up my new roles as a supervisor, I have lack of sleep and water, mentally and physically tired, and stress, as a result, I am having bad pimples break out. Also, having to put make up everyday, the fact I am working on the front line, being presentable and professional, has contributed to the break out. I will remain positive and hoping it will be much better later. Or maybe I am going through hormonal changes, it's common for females at this age, it proves I am still young :P

I hope next week will be a better week for me, staying positive and happy, sometimes it's hard, but I guess at the end of the day, this is the only way to keep you going. At this age, everything you do seems like a burden, can't be as care free as before, everyday there are different problems, and yet, we still have to get through it.
