My dad arrived at 20th of June, and I've been doing my best to take him around Wellington, although I've been sick as and the weather has been pretty bad. It's been ok today though, but I'm really sick... trying to be brave, and not to be too much of a drag. Tomorrow we're going travelling north to Taupo, Rotorua and Waitomo. It'll be great! hopefully I'll be a bit better in the days to come, and hopefully the weather will clear up a bit as well. we were going to go to Kapiti Island today, but the weather wouldn't allow it, and I was sick, so we're going to rebook it for another day. It should be a cool trip as well, if we can pull it off before my dad leaves.
Please, let me get well before long!
So far we've been all around Welli, up to uni and all round town. It feels a bit crazy to have my dad here, like another world meeting my world... It's pretty cool though. Now he can see all the things that I've been talking about. :)

Moving date: 3rd of July!
This is a picture from the party on Saturday, one of them that is. Saturday was wiiicked, we started off at 7pm with a bunch of tequila shots, and kept on prepartying through the all blacks game. We won! Anyway, after that, at about 11pm, George took us all to a house party. Which was wild... we stayed there for a while, and then ended up somewhere else. Good luck? yea, goodluck bar. nice. I stole my first ever beerglass here in Wellington, which was an event.. heh.Last night we went out to send off Jason, he is leaving to go back to USA soon. I don't know him that well, but we have had some good times. :) I am still completely blown by the fact that he proposed to his girl.. He got her up on stage, played "Little wing", and then he got down on his knee and asked for her hand... what a cutie pie.
hrrm
I seldom edit what I write when i'm drunk, but last night, I think drunk happy Tina had a small visit from drunk mean Tina, and what would to me read: "I hate you", would to others read: Ai heeeit jo...

Respect to Ghana
I am done with my exaaaams!!!
And on Tuesday my dad comes to visit me!!!
So much to plan, so much to do, so little time, so much fun!
Had a good time yesterday, watching rugby and partying like hell. It was good as, after all this time, I really needed to let my hair down and have some fun. Good ol' fun! Now it's time to start organising, getting ready to move out, that is, maybe clean my room? After all, my dad is coming so it should look nice. Even though I know he doesn't care about mess. So, I have booked the places for Kapiti island, I have booked an appointment to have an assessment for how much it would be to get my tattoo removed (yeowtsch), and the next step is to book time for dinner at Hede's for me, Jo and Manuel. Our date, the three amigos, the three musketeers.. (a lot of good things come in threes!). I want our flat! but I guess we won't get it before the last week of June, or first week in July. Ah well, MY DAD IS COMING TO VISIT!!!!
Oh, and R-E-S-P-E-C-T to Ghana! I lost $80 on you guys, but it has taught me an important lesson: NEVER underestimate the opposing team. I wish them good luck in the WC. (Oh, sidenote: I may have lost $80, but Pun, Trong's flatmate, he lost $1000. *edited: a couple of hundred* That has to hurt.)

days go by
I've been shot down, my daydreaming doesn't make sence to me anymore. I have to find a new set.. Thank goodness that HGL will be back in my life before long. HGL! Brace yourself my dear friends, once again he shall be in my thoughts, and probably on my blog-pages.
I'm feeling bad cause I haven't been to the gym for ages, and I feel all fat and ugly. Of course that is the normal, but not gymming does not make matters any better. I have to get back in the game.. This job and the flu has kept me from my beloved gym-room. I've been ignoring calls from my job both today and yesterday, my conscience is horrible because of it, so probably I'm working tomorrow *grumble* Would much rather like to stay in and study, but alas! I have to be a good girl and go to work, since they are being slow in finding someone else.

The HANDBAG
Soundtrack: Bodyrockers - I like the way you move
Okay, this deserves an entry.
It's been a while since the Hurricanes vs Crusaders final, but something happened on the following morning that has gone down in history here in New Zealand. Tana Umaga and Chris Masoe from the Hurricanes were out at a pub, and apparently Masoe got annoyed at this guy and hit him. So, in comes Tana, heroicly, beating Masoe around the head with a woman's HANDBAG, to try and calm Masoe down. The result: Masoe started crying, and they were both kicked out of the pub. (for more detailed description of the incident, click HERE.)
Well, this was random enough in itself. However, the story does not end there. The woman's phone was broken, and Umaga replaced it. So, the co workers of the woman persuaded her to sell the handbag and the broken phone on TradeMe. She sold it for $22.750!!! The auction had over a million page views, and over 3000 unanswered questions, HAHA. The story has been all over the news for the last few weeks. There has been no official statement from Umaga.

My my my. These rugby guys of ours. I am glad that the All Blacks' season is back, this year I'm catching one of their games when they come to play in Wellington, All Blacks vs Springbooks. Wuhu!

1. How did you meet #14?
He was mine and Joanne's random flatmate this trimester, who sadly moved out very quickly cause he got a job as an RA. Nice and random dude.

Haha, yea, she's pretty nice. ;) She's taken though!
7. Tell me something about #7.
She's a little fire-cat, I met her at my folk high school. She's fun, kinda crazy danger chic, but I like her a lot. Currently she is studying to be a journalist, or something of that kind.
8.Do you know anything about #12's family?
Heeps. ^^ She lives now with her mum, dad and a younger sister, I met them all when I went to visit her in Singapore earlier this year. Her dad scares little kids when the mums are not watching! I was hoping for some "live action" when I was living with them, but he behaved quite normally. hmpf. I guess you could say that Kwee is a part of her family as well.
9. What is #8's favourite?
Animals!! of all kinds! Furry and nice little friends. :)
10.What would you do if #11 confesses that he/she likes you?

12. Who is #9 going out with?
Happily living with her boyfriend for years, Christian.

Ages ago!! How is Europe?!
15. Who's #2's favourite singer?
UUuuh, some boyband front figure I imagine?? hehehe
16. Would you date #4?
HAHAHA. Before I got to know him I would have! Nooo, I'm just kidding. He is really nice, I probably would not date him though. He is like my brother, it would be too weird.
17. Would you date #7?
I'm more into guys... anyway, she's taken.
18. Is #15 single?
As far as I know.
19. What's #10's last name?
Askeland! How are you Odny? haven't heard from you for a long time now!

21. What schools did #3 go to?
I don't know much about him.. he's at Vic uni now though.
22. Where does #6 live?
He lives with my course coordinator in Wadestown!! Normally he lives somewhere in Germany I think..
23. What's your favourite thing about #5?
He is really nice, on the surface he seems like this really dodgy guy, but he has got layers. And he is amazing at getting beer.
24. What do you think of #13?
A little cutie, a tortured soul sometimes.. I hope she is enjoying her time in Europe now, and will be able to relax more upon her return that what she did before she left.... she has got an amazing capacity to stress. It's a gift. She is selfless, her heart is true, and she will always be a beacon of light to her friends.
25. What do #4 and #19 have in common?
They like movies, they both live in stafford... they are both foriegners and they both like beer.
26. What special qualities does #17 hold in your life?
She is a good friend, and always has something nice and encouraging to say no matter what's up. She is incredibly optimistic, which smudges off on other ppl. Which is nice. :)
My gosh that took long!!

Meditative tapes
Soundtrack: Thomas Dybdahl - make a mess of yourself
My friend Diego gave me these soundfiles to help me sleep and to help me concentrate on my studies. Apparently they are sounds that activate your brain in different ways... I've allways been a bit sceptical to tapes that are supposed to enhance this and that, and hypnotice you into sleep and all kinds of crap. However, I am going to try it tomorrow to get through a chapter that is hard and boring. And tonite, I'm gonna try the sound-sleep one. Hopefully, they can do no harm. So, Jo: If I am being unusually odd the next couple of days, call a therapist or something. Hopefully I won't be brainwashed into joining an UFO sect or something....

weekend
Soundtrack: Gurtz - Caviar
I guess this has been an eventful weekend. When broke one's expectations go drastically down, and therefore everything is appreciated a lot more. I did a psychology experiment on Thursday, which gave me two free movie tickets! wuhu! So on Friday we went to see X-men 3. I thought it was pretty all right, it was good fun. Not too much of a story line, but who cares. :) Effects were great. Then on Saturday, Travis was kind enough to lend me money to go to the LOTR exhibition in Te Papa. Yay!! It was pretty awesome, I must admit that I could have spent a lot more time gawking at the drawings and stuff, but since I'm also bringing my dad there, I will do that next time. ^^ I loved all the costumes! Sooo pretty lah... Thanx Trav! Must see the movies again soon. :) Holidays! When my exams finish, I will do that.
On Wednesday (just the day after tomorrow), my paycheck will arrive. No more money worries! ahh.. thank goodness for that. I have to get better at saving money in the first half of the year... this thing happened last year as well. Not good.

dishwashing
I've been working for 8 hours today. And we didn't have that many customers. tomorrow will be hell, there are over twice as many customers... *SIGH* As grateful as I am for the opportunity to make some cash, I don't think I will want the ongoing position. Mopping with a mop that was introduced in the 60's is killing my back. The growing piles of dishes are bringing me down. Yes... I think I can't go on with this job. I just hope my first paycheck will come quickly.
Better get some rest so I can do some last minute mugging up for my exam tomorrow.

hurricanes lost...
As it was so eloquently put in Wallace and Gromit: the bounce is gone from my bungey. The hurricanes lost yesterday. It was very foggy, and not so good to see what was going on on the field, but they lost none the less. We were watching it at the loaded hog, with some ppl, quite a nice little bunch of staffordians and some Germans on the side, hehe. After the game Trong got us some beer because he had put money on the Crusaders to win by 1-7 points.
I've been daydreaming almost the whole day. Tucked safely inside my own little world where everything that I want is within reach.. It's comfortable, but a bit unnerving as well, as I have an exam on Tuesday. Right now I'm downloading heeps of german music, my tactic is to listen to stuff with german texts tomorrow.

The Dishwasher
I woke up. I went to school. I went to student job search. I applied for a job. I got the job. I worked from 7 till 10pm and I will work four days next week! YEE!!! Job!! Money!! No more despair, I can pay my bill and everything, I don't have to fret about my money! Ahh.... Such a relief. I am the new kitchenhand at portland hotel thorndon. It's not a lucrative job, but at least it brings home some cash. I'm quite high today.
Apart from that, I'm hooked on pride and prejudice... I've been watching it three times already! Man... it's becoming an obsession like harry potter.. help! I can't go back to the elizabethan time, and I can't live such a life, with all the beautiful words, and I can't find a guy like that! Not this lifetime at least! What am I going to do?!
It's such a beautiful movieeeee....

I took Manuel's advice and went out for a walk to get some fresh air. Nothing like a walk to clear your mind, get things sussed in the brain. It's time to take control of my life. I've switched off my cat, from now on it's my own job to bring the cash. I shall go to student jobsearch tomorrow and get a job of some sort. At the same time it struck me that my exam is in only four days.. time to take action and rehearse some German. If my test today went crap, it's only because I didn't study enough for it. Hard cold fact. I have packed up my moon piece, from now on I'm wearing the dragon around my neck for a while. No piece can help bring beneficial change, that is my job as well. I have to change things around.
For now I'm gonna give a f that I'm getting red spots all over. At least they treat me well, they don't itch that bad, and in fact most of the day I don't notice them at all. Just give it some time and see if there's a change. At least if I die my parents can sue the doctor that "treated" me.

nothing.
Everything is going wrong nowadays. I'm feeling pretty low at the moment. I'm sick and I spent $60 that I don't have on a doctor's appointment and medicines that didn't fix anyting at all. My money will take forever to get here, and even when I get them I have to wait another half week before I can access them because my netbank sent my visa card to the wrong address, it was sent back and now they're saying that IF the card comes back to them they will send it to the right address... *sigh* I got a B+ for the easiest assignment this year, and I did bad on my test today. so good bye to the only A+ that I ever had the chance to get. The worst of all is that most of these things are not only probably, but most likely all my own foult. I don't know what it is that I've got, but I know now that it isn't scabies, and it's not an allergic reaction because I haven't been eating anything unusual, it's probably not bedbugs because I have steam washed my entire bed, and still I'm getting red spots everywhere. I've done so much for nothing. I'm really tired. I feel like a song by Nick Cave. I'm going to bed and I'm staying there untill June.

OVEN!!
Soundtrack: Underworld - you bring light in
We finally got the oven! So, the whole afternoon has been devoted to baking various things. It feels so great to have an oven! Being able to bake! But now we realise how small our kitchen is... We have to find a better place for it than the table. Big decisions.
Our oven and the first produce. :)
The sophisticated bunch: Eating homemade pizza on the floor, listening to Chopin and discussing German composers.. hehe.
My crew. My lovelies. Cleaning up all my mess that took me two and a half hour to create. you gotta love 'em. Saturday, May 20, 2006

I'm trying to write my essay. I have two days to do it. So what do I do? the last half hour or so I've been taking pictures of my eyes, trying to determine what colour they are. And I have reached a conclusion. The more light that shines on them, the more yellow they are. So I thought I'd just put that on my blog, just so I can have some feeling of accomplishment today too...
Looks like it's gonna be a really calm and uneventful weekend. not entirely though: My hopeless flatmate did the dishes yesterday after cooking, even though I did not ask him to. I think Manuel has a positive effect on him, because every time Manuel is here, he behaves totally different. Hmm... strange. I've already started packing. Can't wait for my dad to get here!! I talked to him yesterday, he's booked the ticket, n he's arriving on the 20th of June, exactly one month from now! I wanna plan a nice little itinerary, so that he gets to see a lot of nice stuff. Definitely gonna take him to Rotorua to see the Geysirs, and he wants to see Hobbiton. ^_^ ooh! Let time pass quickly!

flatmate blues
These days I'm spending and increasing amount of time being annoyed by my flatmate. He's like a brain tumour. So... this post is going to just be a rant about him, be warned, if you cannot be bothered, DON'T read on.
He is like a piece of furniture, always at the same place, which is here (snarl) and always saying the same things over and over and over.... "are you going out?" "Hello?" "what are you making?" "did you go shopping?" grrrr.... Why is it sooooo important to know at all times who is in when you're not even going to talk to them!? every - single - time.. Can't you see that when I'm putting on shoes I'm going out?! YES, when you have four bags of food, you have gone shopping!! C-O-N-T-E-X-T
He never contributes ANYTHING to this flat! he eats and eats, but can NEVER buy bread when we're running out, he NEVER shops! He just sits there, expecting to get everything in his lap! He uses our stuff without asking, taking it for granted that we want to share shampoo and body soap with him. What's that?? I am still not over it, and he still steals my body soap!!!
He can't clean! He can't cook! He destroys our frying pan by using a fork in it, he destroys my strainer by leaving it in a pan with water so that it rusts... He just can'd do the dishes when he's done eating, he does them half way!! AARRGGHHHH!!! He cant even take out the friggin trash when it is sitting on the floor right in front of the door! NOT ONCE has he taken out the trash unless I specifically told him to. And he is TWENTYFIVE!!
He is always more than willing to eat/drink stuff that we offer him, but he never ever gives anything back. Manuel got him beer yesterday, and then suggested that he should get some wine for friday. His response: "I don't like wine..."
Enough. Enough! ENOUGH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH ALREADY!
I'm going insane. Being alone with him just makes me hate him more. Ok, I don't hate him, I just strongly dislike him. Give me the strength to put up with him for another month!
Oh, and happy birthday bloggie! 1 year old today!! :)

Happy 17. May, everyone!
Soundtrack: Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson - Ja vi elsker dette landet
Another year, another 17. May spent away from home. Today's mission: trying to finish my essay, and trying to stay sober and stay away from parties. Missons complete: 0. Peter is leaving tomorrow, and showed up with a whole army of Germans, so again, Norway was invaded by Germany. On 17. May! ah, the tragedy.. Well, thei're nice ppl, so it's ok I think. At least I had a really good celebration, a couple of beers, and then to bed? My essay has now 1800 words, so it's ok. I did some good work today.
