I'm not slacking off...

Honestly, i've been swamped in almost all aspects of my life that i haven't been in the right head space to write. I'm feeling better today, like i actually know where i'm going so as long as there is a tentative destination i feel comfortable to stop on the way for a chat.

So as you know, the interview with Marketing and Communications went extremely well in the weekend. The only obstacle was my work permit and the lack of a recent full medical check-up. The check-up consists of a nurse appointment, blood test, chest x-ray and final doctors appointment. My nurses appointment went extremely well, the nurse was an absolute gem and we were laughing and talking while we were going the general examinations like height, weight, waist etc. I took the rest of the afternoon off to head into town to sort out the x-ray and the bloods. I can proudly say that for the first time in my life i managed to have my bloods taken without anyone there to hold my hand!! She took 3 tubes of my blood and didn't even leave a scratch, how skillful is that! The x-ray was fun too, they actually don't need you to be buck naked anymore which is a plus. The results from the x-ray were that i am normal and do not have signs of TB or old scars from it either. Good to know right?! So, all i am waiting for now is my final doctors appointment on Friday. Then i've got to get the work permit application along with all the other relevant documentation to the Immigration Office asap. My work permit expires on the 3rd of July so if i can get it in by Friday, hopefully i will be there first application they process come Monday. If it wasn't for my current boss i'd still be waiting for Immigration to even look at my application. I hate the thought that the job at Marketing and Communication starts on the 14th of July so i'd only have a week to finish up where i'm at. I have been talking to my family about it and mum and dad actually suggests i stick around where i am now and not take the position at Marketing and Communications. I've been thinking hard about it all and can honestly say that i am veering towards that conclusion/decision too.

Anyway, the weekend was good...i didn't end up going blonde as my hairdresser, Cat said that i'd need 3 bleachings to start with and we wouldn't know what color we'd end up with etc. So instead she put chunky purpley-red lowlights randomly in my hair. I know it doesn't sound that cool but it sure looks it. The came out really well and the contrast really shows off how healthy my hair is at the moment. When i went to get some colourfast shampoo and conditioner from this salon specialist shop i was talking to the guy working there who was obviously a hairdresser. He made me stand still and walked around me to see the full effect. He explained that they were randomly placed with such style and the detail. Other people look like a bird shat in their hair..HAHAH...i was so flattered!! Oh and the shampoo and conditioner i got smell so gorgeous and for those of you who are thinking it...NO, he wasn't cute, he was in his 30s and very professional. There's a line between flattery and stating the obvious hehehe...

Oh we celebrated Toby's mum's birthday on Sunday and she was absolutely blown away when she realized what we'd gotten her. I will post photos soon but she was so cute...she thought we just used the box!! We spent the rest of the night watching DVDs and hanging out. I made a yummy entree platter complete with cocktail meatballs as well as cracked with pesto dip so we tucked into that while Toby was setting the player up. I also made dessert - Apple Tarlets which turned out brilliantly considering the fact that i did not follow a recipe. I just bought puff pastry, chopped up apples and seasoned them with lots of cinnammon and brown sugar and chucked 'em all into the oven. So yeah, it was delicious with a nice splosh of vanilla ice-cream on top.

AArgh, talking about food is making my tummy growl...i haven't spent a dime on food yet today. I ate cereal for brekkie and made a chicken salad for lunch. I have money so no need to worry but i'd rather be spending it on other things...speaking of which...

I need to know what you think is the better option...My current Nokia 3650 is doing my head in so i am contemplating getting a nice new up to date phone. Go on laugh...say i told you so...i had to give it a try before i knew OKAY?! So the current choice is between a Nokia N70 or an N73.

Feast your eyes:

This is the N70 and the other one is the N73.

According to some reviews, the N73's keypad is fairly cramp but i have a friend who is currently using it and thinks it's just fine. The features of both phones i think are pretty similar but price wise the N70 is significantly cheaper. I quite like how the N73 looks though, it almost seems less chunky and more sleeker than the N70. Please please please tell me what you think!

Uh Oh, Houston we have a problem. I just stumbled in the N72 which is very very cute BUT:

Can someone make a phone that doesn't have such an obvious gender related preference? I think the pink is gorgeous on the back but i don't like how it looks in the front. And the design on the back for the black one is pretty manly. Can't someone make say a pastel green or blue cellie because i seriously doubt all girls love pink & all boys love black?

Let's consider the yet-to-be-considered...i am not a fan of flip phones..but let's look at the N75

I think i'm under the impression that flip phones are a tad flimsy and normally end up quite thick so you look like you're carry a brick around in your left jeans pocket. Lol.

Right then, my sincere apologies to those people who have mistook this blog for a gizmodo site.

I will love you and leave you...xoxo
