Alright already..i'll update, i'll update! =)

Right then, to stop those pesky two year olds Doris and Linzhi from complaining i'm going to post. Hahaha...

I apologise to my loyal readers (that's if i have any) for disappearing for a while. I normally blog when i'm at work but i haven't been able to do that solidly for almost a month.

Do you all recall the work permit problems i had a little while back? I had to stand down from my job while it was sent to Auckland to be processed. Anyway, when it finally got sorted, after numerous faxes from my boss at Massey (take note, this is an important part of the story)asking Immigration to speed things along so i could come back to work, there was a conditional clause on it. I am to work for Greenstone (the company i will be working for in Auckland later on this year) in Hamilton til the 3rd of Sept before going to Auckland and continuing. Now, the whole reason why my boss was rushing my application was so that i could continue working at MASSEY not GREENSTONE. In my application, i had to attach a copy of my contract with Greenstone and it stated clearly that i was only starting on the 3rd of Sept. Can you feel my exasperation? Yeah, i rang up Immigration so many times trying to talk to different people hoping one of them would give me a way out of this mess. They all said the same thing, you can't work at Massey. I was so upset and spent the day on the verge of tears but i had a chat with my boss and suggested i go in to the Immigration branch in Palmy and talk to some physically. I wasn't suppose to be at Massey anyway so i took the 'day off' and left. So i spoke to a guy when i arrived and he listened carefully to my situation. Then, he prescribed a SOLUTION...yes there actually was one but nobody bothered to tell me. All i had to do was apply for a Variation of Conditions which is a letter from Immigration saying i can work for someone else before i start working for Greenstone. Can you see the spotlight-shining-down-from-heaven-on-me type of scene at this point? LOL I wanted to freakin kiss the guy...finally someone who tried to sort out my mess instead of telling me that it existed. This piece of paper saying that i can work didn't come cheap though, $120, but as long as i can work, i can make that back in a day's wages. WOOT WOOT! So, in conclusion people, i am back to work now, full steam ahead despite this little ordeal.

Man, my arms and shoulders are so sore. Last night, we - Toby, Me and our flattie Krystal decided to have an Eyetoy battle after watching Memoirs of Geisha. There is NO corelation between the two activities...so i'm not sure how or why we started playing but it was SO MUCH FUN!! For those of you who don't know what Eyetoy is:


The camera is attached to your PS2. The games you play require you to use your body to hit, move, balance things. See, this one here requires you to slap away the enemy as they come towards you from all angles. It is extremely satisfying as you forget after a while that you look like a complete dork. In my case, i get very excited and forget that the game requires movement but not force. Do you know what i mean? In order to hit something you just have to gently slap instead of adding force. So yeah, that's my arms are sore. =)

OOOoooh, great news people, now that i have my job back i can afford something that i've desired for a while now...Introducing the most beautiful piece of technology in my universe hehe..
I had saved up for a while and placed an order and everything but the very next day i found out that i had work permit problems so i thought i'd better hold off in case i need some spare cash. So, now that i am earning again i can get it!!! Yes, i am ready and willing to become a Mac Freak...I can't wait to get rid of my Acer...Bring on the Mac Revolution..

Anyway...i just got my haircut on Tuesday. My hairdresser Cat decided that my hair was long enough to be a bob so she did a very Posh Beckham type cut, keeping the assymetrical look on the front etc. I'm too lazy at the moment to describe it so instead i'm gonna show you my girl Dori's new haircut. She looks like a foxy lady in this one...but hands off, she's mine and Linny's hahahaha...

I promise i'll post photos of me sometime but don't get your hopes up because i'm no where as pretty as that this sexy mama...hahaha...

Better get back to work eh..hehe..loads and loads of love to my girls!! xoxoxoxoxox
