Rohan, you're an ahole. I'd comment on that Post, but your annoying word verification is gay and won't work on my phone.

hey guys. I FINISHED TODAY! along with a bunch of others. atm i'm on the train heading towards the city (very slow though- there was a huge delay at ewood cos some person had to be chucked off the train. mildly interesting no doubt:) so yeah. Cannot wait until dinner, I an half starving to death having not being able to keep stuff down properly, i've avoided unnecessary pigging out on junk like I usually do. Bah. Hopefully dinner won't turn out to be a gastronomic disaster for me and the unfortunate people around.

wanting a blackberry RIGHT NOW! Bah humbug. Old asian lady speaking loud canto is asking for a huge ass whopping atm. Shut up on public transport if you're not going to decrease the volume. Being able to understand what she is saying is quite annoying, because she's talking about a drama I was going to start watching tonight. Plus, it's a tad distracting. Zzz

later alligator!

Goodbye Skrzynecki

After taking an entire lesson or so learning to pronounce his name, and another day or so learning how to spell it correctly- and an AGE learning to write it in cursive without adding an extra "y" or "z" or "i", I can finally stop caring about his name.  Whoever the hell thought of putting six consonants together should really learn to spell/read.  By proper English err pronunciation, this work cannot be annunciated properly.

Anywho. My dad has been worried about me for the past week. He thought it was strange I was so relaxed.  Honestly, after writing over 10 different AoS essays, I was pretty sure I had most of the points in my mind today.  I've been a cool as a cucumber :) alot of people have!  Not memorising an essay paid off. I've never been good at memorising- I don't recommend it either, and today, not memorising an essay but writing off the top of my head paid off.

The fact that we had to write about ONE related texts did put me off a bit (I'm sure it put everyone off), because I felt like I could have outshined the rest of the state - I had prepared well for this new AoS, and I guess I'm just disappointed all that effort wasn't required.  This is why I really hate english sometimes.  It's like biology. You learn an entire section in the greatest detail hoping to nail it in the exam- and it doesn't appear in the paper.

But yeah, disappointment aside- just be glad they didn't ask for three (I KNOW- 100% unlikely), but I prepared one just incase?  I was also super glad that the Section I was NOTHING like the Knox (?) paper. The one with the bald man... Haaa. Yeah.

I wish I had a better night of sleep though. I went to bed at around 12- was hoping to go to bed earlier, but I just wanted to read over everything twice before bed. Couldn't sleep. It wasn't nerves- it was just.. eugh hard to fall asleep in this weather. Too hot to be in the blankets and too cool to go without. I didn't dare open my eyes to look at the time at all- so I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating when I say I couldn't sleep for hours.  But I did in the end- and at 4.54am I was suddenly WIDE AWAKE. Why?! Normally I'd be in deep sleep at this hour. WHY?!  Bathroom? No. Thirsty? No. Too warm? Nope. It had cooled down alot.

Then I heard it.

My dad left his bedroom door open, and I could hear his snoring. My door was shut and it was LOUD AS. So I creeped out into the hallway and closed his door- and went back to sleep.  Slept like a baby until 6.45am when I am awoken by a text message.

I get out of bed and read it.

Don't know whether to scream or laugh.

Sorry Cabbage- I really, really, REALLY love my sleep in the morning and sometimes I'm unsure as to whether I'd choose my morning sleep over friends.  :D Thanks for the gluck text.

Luckily enough- I was sleepy enough to fall right back into my slumber and slept until 7.30am.

WHT-

Got to school- waved. Half ambushed James (Z) - we were both unaware- I think we scared each other. lol. He was just lurking in the bushes and I happened to be walking past to greet the ex-birthday girl Lis. Handed her the equivalent to a box of roses, 3 easter bunnies, some Pepero, and some Lindt chocolate PLUS a hungry hungry hippo called Alice- exchanged hugs, complained about waking up, and boasted about being calm, etc you get my drift. Pre-exam hyping up time.

Skip Exam. Some BORING things happened- supervisors are kinda weird.  I wish the school were more organised and would dish out a bit more money for extra supervisors...

After the exam, there was a complication in our column and sim and I were one of the last few people to leave the hall. It was already something like 11.47ish. Atrocious. We sat there for AGES waiting for the supervisor and she just NEVUR came- except .. before we left of course.

Exam buddies (Sim, Rex and Xining.. ooh Cat I guess) who are basically people who sit around me during the exams and while we're waiting for the supervisor to come, we sort of have some silent discussion about the exam question.  Hot topic- one related text, etc. And the essay question- which made me think a lot more than usual. It wasn't as straightforward as I'd hoped, but at least it was just one related text? I sound like a hypocrite, but I mean that in two different ways- but now I'm just confusing myself....

When I was finally free, I think I had a stupid grin plastered on my face which somehow gave my dad (and probably Richard's M) the impression I super aced the exam.  Super aced is not exactly it- but I was happy I was no longer stuck in that miserable JC Hoskin Auditorium. Exams in the hall suck.  Richard's nose blowing echoes.  Thank goodness we didn't have people eating M&Ms (lol Janet! Our convo this morning!).

Wow, I'm feeling quite verbose today.  When I saw my friends, I just couldn't shut up today. Really. I had this urge to butt into people's conversation (stopped myself-luckily. lol) and to just jabber on about something unrelated.

AFTERWARDS, M, D and I went to Ewood for yumcha.  Samantha.... you should have joined your mum, because she & some other R09 mothers ended up sitting on the table next to us... I stretched out my ear and heard some juicy gossip- not. I wish I could stretch my ears. Gad. I watched fantastic 4 recently- and its hilarious. My cousin thinks I have really bad taste in movies. He's probably right. eehh.

Then I see Michelle (L) while we're grocery shopping and she tells me GAZILLIONS (3 other people) of R09 folk went to Cafe de Macau to have lunch. :(   At that point I was screaming "I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT" in my mind. Earlier that day, my dad and I were talking about where we were going to have lunch- and I was thinking of suggesting Cafe de Macau- but I didn't and let my M choose.  Even boring places seem extremely enjoyable with friends. ♥ you guys. Not seeing you lot 5 days a week makes me an utterly stupid talker/babbler when I do see you. D:

Go home- have a serious talk with my parents about booking my freaking airplane tickets because they're being sold like hot potatoes and all the GOOD FLIGHTS WILL BE GONE. Called up a couple of places ( I thought I was fluent in cantonese- but freaking asian travel agents use freaking hard words I've never heard of before ) and found out ALL THE GOOD FLIGHTS ARE GONE.  My dad is also very against M and I leaving on 21st Nov stopping at TP.

I'm annoyed. I don't see what's so bad about Taipei seeing as I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE. Forgive me for sounding retarded, but for once I want to experience something bad MYSELF. (and he sucks. when we were in tokyo, he said 100 yen shops were a waste of time, so we didn't even get to enter ONE STORE)

He doesn't trust asian airlines (except cathay & singapore) either, so he cancelled M's temporary booking- and booked for an expensive ticket that will take us to HK -> Shanghai. I'm annoyed. I didn't even want to go to SH.  Going overseas with D is usually all about visiting relatives. We spent 3 weeks in SH once, and freaking hell- had dinner at home like 6 out of 7 days. MAJORLY PISSED OFF. There are plenty of good eats in China- WHY, OH WHY DO WE HAVE TO HOT POT EVERY NIGHT.  I don't even speak minimal SH. Infact, I only know Xwords. lol. How do you do, thanks, telephone, toilet, SH, the address for our flat in SH, don't drink alcohol and don't smoke. THAT'S IT.

It is also cold, smelly and people on the roads drive like they are in some kind of super speedy race (don't keep up with racing. V8? ISNT THAT A JUICE- forgive my ignorance).. When the taxi drivers are turning a corner, they swerve.  When they are changing lanes, they swerve.  When they are driving in a straight line they freaking swerve.  My life is always under constant threat in Shang-hai. I am afraid of crossing the road (heck, I'm paranoid in safe SYDNEY).

Gosh. Not only are the taxi's scary.  Fights on buses... Swerving minibuses *cry*, cyclists who endanger the lives of motorists and pedestrians... The list is endless.

In China, I can't even buy a freaking tram ticket without being looked at funny. In HK I can haggle and pretend to be a local. (not really- haha apparently I dress really differently. weird trendy people in Asia)

But going back to what I was talking about before (lol... derailed...), I'm spending 2 wks in HK, 1 wk in SH (thank god) and maybe a week in Beijing. WOO my first time. However I'm leaving Syd 5/12/09 which means I'll miss the first proper item on the itinerary. boo. Coming back 10 Jan 10 I think. Just in time to suffer in the heat and kill my sun-deprived skin. (the sun does not shine in China... You can see it, but you can NEVER feel it- and it looks orange.. instead of like.. like. like looking into a lightbulb.  Thanks ozone. Thanks.

Should stop now. I've written enough for 2 essays (wild guess).  Today was fun, minus suffering the PMS rage of a certain female in the house. It was terrible. During dinner I was burned with a particular someone's eye-zap. ZZZ. Damn you MENSTRUAL CYCLE (I hope some of you shuddered reading that. I chortled imagining the shuddering. *creepy smile*)

ZZZ HAVE FUN WITH MOD A B AND C. ♥ mod C. :) LOVE IT

Stuck into it

PS (I know this shouldn't be at the top- but it's important)- LEONA ZHANG WAS IN DOLLY MAG. ULTIMATE LULZ. ;D;D;D;D

HELLO EVERYONE.

For once, I don't think I have anything in particular to blog about. I have nothing really important to say (not that anything I say is ever important)- but all day I've just been thinking about economics... food... economics... biology.. food.. japanese... mm japanese food...

My internet was supposed to be uncapped this morning, but I had trouble accessing it in the afternoon so I spent most of that time studying.  I realise it's actually not that hard to focus on the big desk in my room (the one D normally takes up) because the area is so big and I can just sort everything into piles.

I am a space hog.

I love nothing more than a BIG, WIDE, CLEAN area for me to work in.  There was a time when I used to take the table cloth from the dining table and work on the clean wooden plank- but M forbade me. She said I took too much time putting everything together again when it was time for dinner.  Honestly, I think a work table without a computer and annoying wires/cables is the optimum place for study- which is why the dining room is my favourite location.

Today M, D & K went to Bankstown.. or Blacktown.. or some place like that to get a haircut (apparently there is a good stylist there.. I just get mine cut at Ewood- Medusa. lol) and I had the whole house to myself for several hours. It was great. Well, it would have been better if my back yard neighbours (you know what I mean right? The people who share the same backyard fence as you..) didn't hold a party today that started at 12pm and ended at 9pm. FAR OUT. Who the hell holds outdoor parties that last 9 hours. :( 

Normally, I love kids. But during HSC, I'd love nothing more than to shove a sock in each kid's mouth. It's so disrupting and piercing and euughh.

Oh - actually I have something to discuss now :) Brainwave.  (btw, anyone tried Grainwaves? Are they any good?)

Loss... Death.. Grief. Whatever you want to call it.  Do kids know it?

I remember my Aunt passed away eons ago when I was nothing but a hyperactive midget.  I knew what happened to her. She wasn't playing hide and seek, she wasn't going away on a trip, I knew she had gone to a crematorium in a box and had been turned into ashes.  I thought every kids knew... but apparently not.

I witnessed a sort of naivety I had NEVER imagined before. It was humourous at the time- no doubt; but in reality, I guess it was a bit sad.  A little kid passed away, and the funeral soon came up.  The kid used to live with his group of cousins (seriously- ALL THE SAME AGE) and they had grown up practically brothers and sisters.  When the rest of the kids noticed he wasn't around anymore- there were questions, "mum, where is he?" "Dad, where's Ryan?" but pretty soon afterwards, they stopped asking and I thought they had forgotten about him already.

At the funeral, Ryan was carried in a white coffin, and like alot of traditional funerals, the lid was left off to let other people see his face one last time.  Vincent was playing outside, but was watching through the windows and suddenly he started making a huge racket.

"RYAN! RYAN! MUM! MUM LOOK! RYAN IS IN THE WHITE BOX! WHY IS RYAN IN THE WHITE BOX!"

The other kids started joining in, asking similar questions until Vincent's mum went outside to hush them up.  Later on, when they carried the coffin into the hearse, Vincent asked "Mum! Why are they taking him away?" no one answered him. I hate it when adults do that. TT__TT; seriously- for once, this kid asks a very valid question (he always gives me Ben10 pop quizzes) and no one replies.

After that he starts crying quietly which is unlike him. Vincent can be very sweet, but he's usually LOUD and obnoxious and very rude for a little kid (lol), and when he cries- he bawls loudly. D was worried by this, and asks him what's wrong.  Everything thinks he realises Ryan won't come back and has gone to a possibly better place.. but what he said shocked everyone and I think made everyone laugh.

He said, "Ryan won't come out of the box to play with me."

Maybe it's just me, but .. eugh. it's so hard to find the right words to convey what I'm trying to say.  Normally I'd believe NEVER to underestimate how much children understand- but I guess you shouldn't forget how naive they can be. It's cute, but sad. In this case- slightly morbid.

Children do forget though. I think Laura, Ryan's little sister, has sort of forgotten about him now.

Hm. I don't know how to end this post now. I don't normally write about this stuff I think- just found it a tad interesting.

Mmm. But a day of malfunctioning net, economics, bio and jap, left me lots of spare time to think about stuff I haven't thought about in a long while.

I can probably conclude that I was the smartest kid around. Unfortunately, I can't say the same now. XD

Hope you're all studying well! Hopefully I'll be able to visit KURA again this coming Monday :)  Have a lovely Sunday everyone! (PHO TOMORROW!)

Little Luxuries

Because it's holiday time- I get to enjoy the luxury of sleeping in and spending at least 30 mins preparing/having breakfast. These past few days, I've been having an egg & ham sandwich with a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk- it's kept me going until lunch. No morning tea break- no snacking :O The wonders of eating breakfast. I normally skip cos I love my sleep in the morning and wake late everyday.

Question: Does anyone use the back of a spoon to spread stuff- ie like a butter knife to butter bread?  A couple of years ago, our family & 2 others went on this camping trip up on the Central Coast. In the morning we had breakfast and my duty was to butter the toast. I instinctively reached out to grab a spoon and proceeded to dip it into the butter and used the back of the spoon to butter the bread. When the 4 kids from the 2 other families saw, they were like "wtf lol" and thought it was ridiculous.  The fact is, I've done it my entire life.  I rarely use a butter knife to butter bread.  I think spoons are really useful because they're super versatile.

When I was at Singleton last year, I was again laughed at for being a spoon kinda person.  My knife was made redundant. I never needed it. The edge of my spoon could cut, it could scoop, it could stab (I'm a master-spoon user) and well, it could shovel really well. I used it for porridge, cereal, cutting up puts of potato and pumpkin, scooping up peas, etc.

IS IT ONLY ME?!

WHAT I LOVE SPOONS!

My favourite- sunny side up eggs.

1.  Melt some butter in a hot frying pan.

2. Crack an egg onto it.

3.  When it looks like the egg in the above picture, sprinkle a right amount of salt onto it.

4.  Switch off the heat.

5. Use a ... what are they called.. a flat wooden spoon? (I used a fork) to flip it over and let it sizzle for a couple of seconds.

6. Serve

Or in my case...

PLONK IT ON SOME BREAD :D

I eat this every morning now. 2 slices of buttered white bread (I gave up on wholemeal- left a funny aftertaste), 4 slices of honey ham, generous amount of mayonnaise (mm), sunny egg with pepper. :) It's a great combination.  Egg= good for brain :D excellent choice of food before exams.

Other brain foods are nuts and berries.. but I haven't had those in a while. Should stock up on those next week. Bahaha.

***

I was going to say something about Chupa Chups.. But I've temporarily forgotten, so digressing...

War paint

ISCF End of Term- Capture the Flag. I decided to tag along after spending some time at school studying that day.  It was fun. Haven't done so much exercise in one day. (I have been playing with my dad's dumbells {shuddup} every night now, and seriously, I feel stronger than ever hahaha)  I keep forgetting to bring my camera to important/fun events so I'm stuck with my shakey phone cam.  At leasat you can still see Edward Scissorhands :D and Sam's pandas :D  Actually- I have a similar toilet photo taken with Sam. I'll find it now..

R.I.P Silver Canon IXUS.

People told me I looked like a different person that day . D: I LOOK LIKE ME!

This was taken last weekend- the happy day I finally found my dress. Haha. It was awesome. HUGE moon cake. D stuck his hand into the photo to use as a "comparison". *cough* he has a huge hand. His fingers are at least 5-7cm longer than mine- so. Err. yeah. That's how big it is. If you want to see it for yourself- I hope it's still at Sussex Centre in Chinatown :D  It was there when I visited on Wednesday so.. yeah :)

I REMEMBER NOW! I was going to talk about how my cousin was the face of chupa chups like 25+ years ago. Haha. Yes.  I'll have to do some digging to see if I can find it again.  M tells me my cousin V was a really chubby kid and all she had to do was to suck on the Chupa chup, pull it out and say "Chupa chup".  Damnit. I wish I could have been a part of history like that :D I want to be in an advertisement (Not the Bonds Kaleidescope ones.. but I wouldn't mind KFC :D)

Speaking of KFC- I mentioned ages ago that they would have a new consumer product- Krushers or something - the ads are super annoying; but I really want to try the Golden Gaytime drink. I've never had a GG before. Back in the days when I used to be able to choose an iceblock to buy- I'd always choose the Rainbow Paddlepop (they're different nowadays).  Anyway- I was just going to say; Krusher cups were one of D's project and he took the tester batch home- so we have alot of recycled plastic cups.

Producing recycled materials is actually a lot more expensive than making it from raw materials- and it's sold for much less, but in the manufacturing industry- if you can't make products from recycled materials- you can't do business with all the big companies- ie MacDonalds, KFC, Woolies. You need a specific type of machinery- access to  used plastics, etc D: and alot of smaller manufacturing companies are dying fast. People are losing their jobs and the big companies like V*sy are getting bigger and bigger.  I think it's almost a monopoly market now =___=; But alas, it cannot be helped if everyone wants to be "environmentally friendly".  Only the big companies can survive- especially in our currently state (globally).

Oh I hate being capped. I've been capped for the past couple of days and it's been a pain to surf on my mob- I think I have pretty bad reception in my house, even though I live on top of a hill. T_T;

Anyway- hope you're all studying hard. Alot of you have been updating your blogs, my but I've been trying to load the pages for over 25 mins now- TAKEN AGES :@  I shall try again on Sunday- UNCAPPED BLISS.

CURRENT WANTS:

1.  Fixed up sleeping time- it's so hard

2.  SUCCESS ONE BIOLOGY

3.  DRESSING TABLE- I have too much junk on my work table. :(

4.  To go out and eat. D:

5.  For March to begin already so I have my income, food, friends, hopefully dressing table, and HSC will be long gone by then.  :@

HAVE A NICE STUDY FILLED WEEKEND EVERYONE (before the nightmare begins)

:)

We're a bunch of touchy feely homos

Hi everyone!

I don't think I've ever said SO many "I love you"s and "I'm gonna miss you"s so many times in my life. I don't think I've ever heard it said so many times in my life. I've NEVER been hugged so many times in one week (lol Danny's winning- LOL He just pulls people into ginormous bear hugs. bahaha).

Sentimental September. Where magic happens.

• My first HU-freaking-MUNGOUS group hug (jazzog ♥- I know I complain alot- but I will miss it hehe)
• Bryan clean and shaven. Bryan writing a nice message to Winnie in her book. Bryan coming out of the closet~ so much Bryan stuff has been going on. Bryan showing his homoside hugging everyone in sight.
• Marcus becoming un-camera shy. Good thing too. He isn't unphotogenic or anything ;D
• EVERYONE COPYING WINNIE'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS- WOOO
• People talking to people they didn't really talk to (hehe talk talk talk) in the past.
• BIRTHDAY MONTH :D CAKE, CAKE AND MOAR CAKE
• Lotsa class parties
• Lotsa photos
• Lotsa class photos
• Lotsa teary moments
• Lotsa grade love.

I love you Ruse09. I can't say it enough. You guys have been such a ridiculously hilarious bunch. We're all different, but somehow we're like an enzyme to it's specific binding site- we fit perfectly like a puzzle. I couldn't imagine our grade with other people- I can't imagine being anywhere else. I will miss everyone lots. Damn I'll miss the humour. I think our grade is very based on injokes, cruel jokes and humour. :D We revolve around humour. It's great. :)

Oh gosh- I just wasted some precious sleeping time tagging photos on fb. HAHA It's quite a waste of time :( But I like doing it anyway. It makes me observe photos more carefully.

Speaking of photos...

Here are some from the luncheon.

There's just SO MUCH I want to show you guys- (should check FB) from the luncheon and beach AND birthday bash for Carol and Winnie~ but  just not enough time. I'm feeling DEAD tired today. Super smashed (beer + a day of fun at the beach lol + STEAK AND CAKE RHYMES) tonight.

So yes. Day of luncheon

1 ep of HIMYM before sleep.

I know I always post stuff up late now- D: but i really need to watch himym. HAHA :)

 I LOVE YOU ALL. I REALLY DO. REPLY TO MY FB MESSAGES/COMMENTS/ETC TO MAKE ME FEEL LOVED BACK. UNREQUITED LOVE IS A HORRIBLE THING.

And all you lazy bloggers- HURRY UP AND BLOG. :) And post up old pics :D :D that would be sic.

MUCH LOVE,

TAKE CARE EVERYONE. I"ll see you all in 2ueng HSC haha

Study Schedule

No. I'm not going to post my study schedule here.  Mine is sort of non-existent, but I have priorities.

1. Economics
2. Biology
3. Maths
4. English
5. Jap

Hm. I don't mean for jap to be the last priority, but I require the most concentration in the higher ranked subjects.  I apologise for the massive focus on schoolwork nowadays. It just clouds my mind so much now. 8) I'm becoming a bit conscious about work a bit later than everyone else. Whoops but hey, at least I care now.  Hopefully I'll improve enough to bump everyone a bit now. :)

What happened today? No mourning class. JOY JOY, I slept until 9.30 FREEFREE, but got to school a bit late (bio ==) and we went through the basic stuff regarding PFAs in the Search for Better Health. I never realised how short this topic actually was. =.= But nonetheless, still shatloads to revise.  Alot of people think biology is ALL about rote learning.  I beg to differ. There are concepts that exist; and when understood, don't need much "rote" learning. :/  Humdiho.  Sort of like economics. But I'm really bad at grasping onto concepts and I take freaking ages to learn.

DIGRESSING,

Happy Birthday to Aryan today!  Hope you had a really nice 09/09/09  (oh to Callum too).  I saw the prince today walking around blindly, hands outstretched ready to bump into something XD  Toobad it'll be my turn tomorrow.  With my disgustingly myopic eyes and freaking disastrous astigmatised eyes, I bet I won't recover for a couple of days. *sigh*  Also not looking forward to the body fat measurements. 

X: Surely, YOU don't have to worry about that.

:( Skinny people are amongst the most unhealthy too youknow.  ;D  I'm not made of muscle- I wish.  Being ignorant about your own body composition is bliss I think. Sometimes it's better not to know.

Anyway, speaking of muscle, today Dan and someone had an arm wrestle match.  Someone who was there, who was the first guy to verse Dan?
Needless to say, Dan lost. XD  and then Peter challenged Dan, probably making his day worse- and won too easily.  Sandy has video footage if anyone is interested in watching.

***

I keep craving Japanese cuisine.  Next time I'm in the city (hopefully this weekend!), my dad will let us eat at Gumshara Ramen instead of Superbowl. :)  Apparently Gumshara Ramen is REALLY good, and I've never noticed it. Honestly, I thought all t he foodcourt restaurants in the underground foodcourt (off factory st) were really crap.  Bah humbug.

Last night, during dinner, the topic of my birthday was brought up by my mum when I was talking about Tetsuya's. :O She said that we should all go there to celebrate my birthday.

WUT.

*freakout*

:D

But now, the more I think about it, the more conscious I am of the cost.  Don't mistaken this as being stingy or w/e (it's not my money), but eating there, will cost about $400 for 4 people I think.  Think of what you can buy for $400? Sure the quality is great- but I'm sure other respectable restaurants will also have a very nice menu for less.

So today I talked to my mum about this.

B: too expensive mum :/ lets go some place else
M: Didn't expect this from a greedypig like you.
pause, just because I like food, it doesn't make me greedy. T_T; It just means I like to TASTE and SAVOUR the FLAVOUR, D:  I don't hog plates and lick bowls! unpause
B: Think of how many happymeals you can buy with that ==;
M: True. :D  How about Lindt Cafe?
B: YESSSSSSSS
M: This weekend?
B: YESSSSSSSS

>:) So guess who's going to have a very nice weekend eh?

Anyway. Chris Au is tardy- as usual (lol) and hasn't posted up pics from our visit to Catalonia.  But he was nice enough to burn a disk to lend me. 

I've resized some and decided to post some up :)

Fitzroy Street Kirribili (i think it's street :/)

TAPAS

Desserts

The guy who was working there probably refilled this > 10 times for me during the night

Witness my skills with Chris' camera. Note: I tried not to use flash in the restaurant, so pics turned out really dark, but I pshopped them :)

THE BAR. I took TONNES of photos of the bar but all were all yuck and yeah. In the end I used the flash when the bartender walked away. :)

Entre

Er Zucchini flowers stuffed with goats cheese

Forgot what this was called. Negro something.  If you're really interested, it's in the menu!

Smoked duck with truffles and brussel sprouts. The duck was good. *-*

Crispy skinned chicken

Chocolate tart and something icecream. had salt in it

Brie. *shudder* so filling

Churro?? and melted chocolate.

No photo of my dessert- but at least I have an excuse to order it again next time I go. :)

My net is still playing up, so I haven't had a single successful vid upload on youtube. ==; Annoying. I tried so many times.

Humdidum.  Trying again. Can't wait until I get uncapped. I have lots of youtube surfing to do. In the meanwhile I'll just study!

:)

Have a good week everyone.

up for some bio study tomorrow morning?
