Wow, what a sad week it has been. This week, I said goodbye to someone who i have known since I was in primary school and is now going interstate to follow her fiance who will start work over there . I also said goodbye to a fabulous girl that I have known since my first year at uni, and who is now off interstate to follow her dreams . And I also said goodbye to the someone who makes my days go round, and who showers me with his hugs and kisses, and who is now off to the goldfields to finish his mining engineering studies.

*Phew*.
Not everyone has "left" officially yet, but the impending anticipation of departure, the culmination of three farewells, and the knowledge of so much time and distance between friendships and relationships - that's enough to make anyone cry.

I wish all these lovely people the best in their steps to their own dreams and independence!

I got the job! :D I spent the entire day today stressing, and ordering Bryan to go next door to the building next to his office and demand that they give me the job... but they didnt' call at all and I was starting to cry and get upset ;) But after I got home from work, I received a phone call offering me the position that I so desperately wanted *hurrah*.

Just looking back at my new years resolution, I had three career objectives 1. To move from the insurance industry into the mining industry (tick!) 2. To get a job that utilizes my brain (tick, i think!) 3. Get a payrise (tick!) ... so my three career resolutions have all been met. So far, so good :D

I will be handing in my resignation tomorrow, and hopefully they wont make me stay the full 4 week notice period :S Otherwise, I will have to act as professional as I can, and avoid any animosity :D *YAYYYY* I AM SOOOOOOOO HAPPY!

Weekend

I've also noticed that a lot of my recent blogs have to do with eating out.. hahah maybe i should masquerade as a food critic in my spare time.. *lightbulb* ... Anyways, on Saturday night, Quan and I went to D'Tandoor in Leederville for a night of Indian food. We had a table in their courtyard, and it was just perfect out there - the weather, the lighting, the lack of mozzies :D The food was yummy, but much too filling for two people, and if you dont' like chilli peoples, don't order Vindaloo! :D

Young at heart

And on the weekend.. I went to Ikea and after strolling casually past the kiddies section, I came across the coolest cutest thing I had seen in ages.. A TREASURE CHEST! haha.. having absolutely no need for such a thing, I spent approximately 5 minutes talking to myself (much to the shock of some random onlookers) trying to convince myself that I had "had" to have it.. and my lack of restraint and incredibly impulsive nature got the better of me...

I present to you ye old treasure chest :

In just over a week and a half, one fabulous wise member from our group will be leaving to pursue her dream as a kickass lawyer in Melbourne .. and so, we decided to have ourselves our "last supper" as a fivesome. *sobs*.

The idea was to have dinner at Yahachi in Subiaco, but when Jess and I started reading the menu, we were shocked that they didn't have any main meals to order - WHAT KIND OF RESTAURANT ONLY HAS ENTREES AND DESSERTS?? *hmmm* ... a little embarassed, we decided to orchestrate our escape, only to realize that Jess had left the restaurant her phone number when making the booking, so she had to apologise anyways *oops*. There goes dinner...

After trumping our hungry tummies through subi in our high heels only to be told "sorry, we have no tables", we finally made our way to Social on Station - a nice little swank restaurant with decor very similar to Cream in East Perth and where waiters were rather perve-worth ;). The food was nice, the service was great, the atmosphere was funky, and the company - priceless.

After dinner, we went to Cino's to Go where we were greeted by rude service and extremely slow coffee (don't you think the phrase "to go" denotes a sense of fast-foodism? *hmph*]. On the way back to Shaz's place, Jess and I made some interesting conclusions

1. Perth is not a safe place to be at 11pm at night, two girls by themselves, with strange alcohol infested drunks roaming around.

2. Half naked boys jumping over walls denotes sneaky little boys trying to avoid getting caught by either the girls parents, or the girls boyfriend/husband.

3. Never sit in the interrogation chair.

Anyways, quick update on job C - i had my second round interview on Friday, and now playing the waiting game (again) till Monday or Tuesday. *fingers crossed!*

I feel as if I am perhaps getting a little greedy. Situation:

I received a job offer from A and decided to reject it, really truly hoping for a job offer from B.

I received the news on Friday that I got a job offer from B. This was what I so desperately wanted at the time. However, on Thursday I had another job interview, and now I so desperately want job offer C.

I wonder if I'm becoming a little greedy? Should I have accepted job offer A, or at least accepted job offer B ? Could it be that my streak of luck is running out (fingers crossed it's not!!). Or am I grasping for things that seem better than the last because I don't want to commit to something.

Argh... yet another week of the waiting game.

Richard is the type of nice guy that everyone loves to be friends with. He is polite, considerate, and for some reason, always the brunt of everyone's elses' jokes. But anyways, last night Richard threw himself a little farewell party at his family's restaurant - Lotus Garden Chinese Restaurant - in Padbury. He threw a lovely little party with yummy food and made sure everyone was well fed, and well drunk. We had heaps of koon-boo chicken, squid, prawns, all kinds of yummy stuff (read : the food is yummy there!) ..

You see, Richard is starting in his new position as an engineer at one of the big mining firms. He will be flying off to West Angeles (a couple of hours from Kalgoorlie) for his first week of orientation. All for his friends as a farewell thing...

Now here's the kicker. Richard is FIFO. He is flying out for a week,.... and returning to Perth after that week.

... I love excuses to get together and eat :) Thanks Richard! You're a champ ;)

I hate the waiting game. Waiting to find out whether you got in, or you got rejected. On Sunday, I spent something like 8 hours of my day in a group interview, presenting teaching demonstrations and doing an English quiz. I was invited back for a second round personal interview, and I can honestly say, i sucked ass. :( I'm hoping however, that the recruiter was so impressed with my Sunday teaching demonstration (which he seemed to be) , that he'll forgo my monday session and think to himself "this girl is great given the opportunity to prepare" and let me go to Japan! =D

I have to wait until Friday, but my chances are looking slim .. although I still have a little hope following what I can big-headedly say was a great performance on Sunday .. Here's hoping.

Taryn's 21st @ Royal Bar

Last night we headed out to Tansawa Tei in northbridge to celebrate James' 22nd Birthday. I always felt as if this boy was a whole year younger than me, but in actual fact, he's only 2 months younger than me! ahhhh how joyous it is to have a december birthday as you get older :D

But anyways, there were about 15 of us at Tansawa Tei and had a lovely time debating evilness and digging into Sean about his 40 year old chickie ;) The place itself had a nice ambience, and was nicely decorated. There were indoor fountain type things, cute little japanese ornaments and oriental fans, and a rather japanese feel to it.

The service itself was a little tricky to deal with - unfortunately, the waitresses were genuinely fresh off the boat japanese and hence, spoke and understood very very little english. It was so difficult to order drinks and to request bits and pieces when they didnt quite understand you.

The food itself was yummy, but none of us were particularly well fed - even the boys after a 6 course teppanyaki meal! I ended up starving after my sushi moriawase, nibbling on quan's teppanyaki mean (yes i eat a lot) and so Tram and I ended up getting dessert, and then going for dessert again later at Il Gelato's! hehe
But anyways, if you're looking for a nice japanese restaurant to try and don't mind small servings, head down to Tansawa Tei :)
