Three free taxi rides & three free dinners later...

I'm hella tired.

A few years ago, I went to one of those Christian motivational talks/conferences or something.  The theme was staying strong and sticking to your convictions, or something like that, and the mascot/ merchandise which was sold outside the conference hall was a little match man (matchstick man).  The speaker made constant references to this "little match man" in his talk, but I've completely forgotten the story.

All I know, is I got sucked into buying it.


He's wearing a little t-shirt which says be strong (sorta links in with sticking with your convictions etc).  This toy no longer has any religious meaning to me. But it reminds me that I want myself to stay strong and carry out my plans (not quit whenever things get tough, etc).  And it works. I'm not quitter.


I like his outfit.  But he reminds me of Gollywogs and the Othello Tophus used to draw D:

Anyway, after listening to my friend complain about her crappy job, I feel a bit better about mine because I get to work with cool people, foreign people and lots and lots of friendly folk. 

Argh, change topic.  IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED!!

I'm going to Tetsuya's on Wednesday night!  Eating fusion Jap/French with my favourite French person.  It's gonna be schweet!  But I'll be freaking poor during the weeks after. =_=;  If it's not what it's hyped up to be, I will be disappointed.  And I feel so under prepared!  A few months back, I was starting to have a bit of red with my dinner, but until now, I still haven't been able to enjoy it. D: Does it really take that long to acquire an acquired taste for red wine?  I just detest it.  :( But apparently it goes well with red meat.

Hmm. NEXT POST will be about another dessert place I visited on Australia Day evening.  It's called iSweety House and is near the Mandarin Club on Dixon Street.  Just gotta put it here to remind myself ;D

Anyway, completely digressing from food... LOOK AT MEEE



D's new glasses are RED - ahaha. He's so trendy. Plastic glasses are so light :| This pair must be 2-3 times lighter than mine. Feels so strange.  My own plastic (I don't think Lacoste calls it plastic, but it sure feels like it) glasses are heavier, but are too trendy for work and too fobby to wear out when I'm with friends. Hoho. So I wear them at home when I'm reading books with fine print.

That was a bit of trivia you didn't need to know at all.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.  With a bit of luck, the weekend will be beach worthy weather.  I shall visit Coogee again.

PS OMG LOL PLEASE NO. LAST TIME WAS REALLY EMBARASSING

5 screams of joy:
