    The Scariest/Funniest thing happened to me tonight...

    After coming home from buying batteries, I walked into the lounge room and just like some horror movie, a ski mask psycho faced me and I screamed....
     
     
    Some photos to mark the moment:
     
    (...ofcourse its only my mum with a facial mask)

    First day of University...

    As I walked towards Monash Caulfield, with every step I took as I crossed the road, my memories of summer disappeared. I was back. It felt like I was always there, like the summertime me was someone else. Indeed I feel this way when I go to work at Monsieur and different me again at Bosini. I guess its that feeling that when you are at a certain place for long periods of time, you dont really imagine life outside it.
     
    So I looked around at my surroundings and sure enough, everything was the same and that was comforting for some strange reason. Gloria Jeans was still next to KFC. The Caulfield plaza was behind the carpark. You can see the Coles sign up above. Sushi Tower with all the fobs milling around the tables was there. The smell was distinctly Caulfield (and no it was not the smell of horse shit 2 all the stinky fobs in da world). MONSU was everywhere, the walls looked the same, the lighting was the same. It was as cosy as ever. Homely too.
     
    I rounded up the usual suspects. I went to Fresco and got my juice, logged into my portal and checked my email. I ate sushi and sat on the fob tables. I took the shuttle to Clayton and there was home X 2. Was gonna go into the aiesec office but didnt have time. Went to the Arts building and saw the lifesaving coffee bar, went down into the weird toilets (that has a glass door) . Back to Caulfield. I went to the train station.
     
    Checked out the Student union stalls and again (like first year) wanted to join everything. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I probably already was a member of all of them. Although this year I joined MAD and Esperanto (well I am hoping 2) which I hope will broaden my uni experience. That being said AIESEC will alwayz be my first love and I shall dedicate myself most 2 @.
     
    Caulfield is home~Monash is home~ AIESEC is home~ Heidelberg is home~Work is home~ Home is in front of a computer~ Computer is engine for internet~ Internet is use for MSN~ In reality MSN is really home....
     
     
    Ok im just random and crazy right now...

    Awkward moments...

    1. Your sitting opposite a guy on a train who failingly tries to pick up the girl next to him, for about 30 minz and you try not to laugh cuz he can see you.

     

    2. When you are realli tired, everyone starts to look like one of your friends. So you stare at them, prepare a smile and something witty to say whilst you continue lookin at them with this weird face on and as they come near...you realise its a stranger who is now lookin at you funnily....

     

    3. You accidently touch your bosses ass as he bends over..then he turns red, you turn red and you avoid glancing his way....

    Spring cleaning my comp..i found this...itz hilarious!!!

    George Carlin's View on Aging

    Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

    You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16! "You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!

    And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21... YESSSS!!!

    But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You've BECOME 21, You TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.

    Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away! Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone. But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!

    After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; You TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90's, you start going backwards; "I was JUST 92."

    Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!

    Monsieur vs Bosini

    Customers: Demographics.
     
    Monsieur (Nth Balwyn):
    • Mostly the old women have a cap and cake whilst the younger ones get a skinny latte and a small biscuit.
    • Corporates come in to order cakes/ catering for watever business function, they are ususally a bit panicky and more fussy than others. Some are really professional though and you just wanna do business with them to see what its like.
    • Young mums come in and order a cap for themselves and a babychino for their little 2 year olds- its cute beyond words...I hate the mums who buy smiley faces for their kids to eat at the shop....its always such a mess..
    • Mothers come in to order their kids 21st cakes. One woman srsly asked me once: "My son wants a realy manly cake, not the lemon chantiliy thing that I bought for his bday last year"  
    • You get a variety of people coming in snobby oldies, builders, young rich chicks + couples, office workers, nervous husbands, cute old couples, cute old ladies and mean old men, teachers from bhs, Mr Armstrong...

     

    Bosini (CBD)

    • Funky Myer workers who are on their coffee/smoking break
    • 20's to middle aged people
    • Taxi drivers
    • Corporates come in groups...they dont smile much.
    • Some really weird people
    • Just a really random bunch of people..
    • Coffee addicts

    Atmosphere:

    Monsieur

    • Very quiet, sometimes lonely, sometimes dead.
    • Customers always come in when your doing something important
    • Am able most days to have a set lunch break
    • Your on your own, its like you are your own boss and thus its really relaxing...you can do whatever you want

    Bosini

    • Bustling, very busy sometimes. The dead moments gives us alll a chance to catch up on our cleaning tasks etc..
    • The big rushes are predictable and your adrenaline goes up..its really fun
    • Cause there is lik always 3 staff on...one person is able to leave the cafe to do other stuff like- buy extra stock for store, go into our shed (which is in a really kewl alleyway dat has like gypsy cafes, artful graffiti, stinky bins) to do kewl things like fry snitzel. Run up to Curlys (another cafe they have) to trade stock...a nice little walk..doesnt feel lik your even working..
    • Your with two other people and so its not lonely...you can talk and joke and backstab mean customers...

    Coffee + Food:

     

    Monsieur:

    • Awful coffee....disgusting....we don't clean the machine properly, the beans are crap, most of us don't know how to make coffee properly, the beans are unfresh. (I hope mandy never sees this)
    • The food is the best of the best- everything homemade and delish...made true to the french standards..

    Bosini:

    • We don't use the best beans but that is probably the only flaw in the coffeee. Everything else is fab.
    • The cakes there are shameful..the food their is nothing special...its all very ordinary...every cafe in da ct have about all the same kind of food standard and cakes..its all very not special...but its alrite...da taste is alrite...i guess its cuz I am comparing this to monsieur who specialise in cakes...

    The Regulars:

    The biggest difference is the tip jar. At monsieur we don't have one (even though we should) and at bosini we do therefore anyone who gives us a tip is automatically a "good" customer.

    The best: Bosini: This old dude called Peter comes in every day and gives us a 50 cent tip. He comes so often that we all know him..Monsieur: There are a few. At the moment there is a pregnant chick who comes in for decaf cap. She is really beautiful and has this nice foreign accent...so you think her man  would be really lucky. Shes still so skinny even though shes like 4 months already...She tells me all these pregnancy stories which scare the shits outta me..and then my boss comes in and they trade stories...its awful!

    Whats it like?

    To not have the internet....
     
    Life is different.
    Communication is harder.
    Cannot access .net and am pretty far behind in AIESEC.
    You get behind in doing all your online billing and uni enrolments.
    You go to someones house and the first thing that you think is: Can I use their internet?
    You dont even remember what you do on the internet but it seemed like so much fun.
    You are out of your comfort zone.
    You go out more and get a life cause life with no msn is just not fun.
    You get addicted to sudoku.
    You start to watch the Bold and the Beautiful again and you realise how cheesy it is.
    Instead of blogging you write in your journal.
    Then you realise that journals are not safe and tear up every page and separate every word haha.
    You do gay things lik...go for walks at night..in the park..alone. Then you get freaked out by the noises and run quickly back on the main road.
     
     
    To not have the computer....
     
    You dream about writing a long essay on Microsoft Word...not that you would normally.
    Instead of playing the sims, you make up small stories in your head that you can use later on..when you get your computer back.
    You train all the way to Glen Iris just to look at your computer..but you cant be stuffed connecting it so you watch tv.
    You dream about a laptop and plan out ur finances to buy a laptop.
    You dream about organising all your files on your computer and then cleaning your disk.
    You watch endless television
    My eyesight has improved
    My energy levels have increased
    Get more sleep
