getting back on track :)

So yesterday, I was supposed to talk about yumcha and failjumps attempted at Lis' place- but before I even got up to that, I was tempted by Wii, and left my blog to fend for itself.

I have come back today to continue my unfinished business.

So Tuesday morning, I got up nice and early (not really) to do some washing (running out of clothes haha already!) and cleaning up of my room.  Halfway through that, I see Borbs pulling up infront of my house :O  Picks up Mawson and leaves.  30ish minutes later, I am reunited with these guys + Duncan, Sy and later on Will @ King's Seafood Restaurant for Yumcha.

Honestly- I have no idea this place is called King's Seafood. D:  I go there at least twice or three times a month and I was just oblivious to the fact they changed their name!

Total bill = $111.50

Yumcha with non-chinese people is always really amusing.  Just watching Sy & Will's face when the yumcha ladies push their trolleys past shrieking out various dimsum names is extremely entertaining.  A mix of confusion, anticipation, and of course an element of surprise- those small ladies have really loud voices.

Anyway, after yumcha I left to go to Lis' and the other headed to Meadowbank Wharf to do who knows what.

The last sleepover I went to was in.. year 11 I think, or 12 (also was my first!!) when we went to sim's place and stayed up playing guitar hero.  This time, it was supposed to be a Twilight marathon, but due to technical difficulties, we were only able to watch (more like criticize every scene/ dialogue/character) the first movie before we moved onto Monster in law.  I'm sure I fell asleep during Monster in law- but by then, it was already 5ish.  At 7, I woke up briefly, took some photos and fell back into my slumber.  I don't think I can sleep on the floor very well. My arms and legs/hips have bruises on the side. ARGH!

There was supposed to be a lunar eclipse yesterday. So we went out in search of some sort of lunar shadow or something in the sky.  All we saw were trees (lol Baulko) and clouds and a really nice blue sky. So we took jumpshots.

So incredibly hard with 7 people ;D

Anyway, my arms hurt from playing Wii last night...

Dumdidum.

This morning, Lis treated us to Choc Chip waffles (she's gonna kill me for this, but seriously, Cassian has to marry her for her waffles. HAHA they're so yum!) and then I headed to Homebush for some BBQ fun with work folk.

We had fun- as in TANDEM BIKE FUN- but please tune in another day to read about that. I need to socialise on MSN (yes, I'm back on MSN with a NEW moving dp every week. Please chat to me :).

Hope you all have a super lovely week! The weather is fantastic!

yumcha & failjumps

Hi all,


Hope you've been having a good holiday so far.  My annual leave officially began yesterday and I feel like I've done so much!

But I guess I started celebrating really early :)  Friday night to be precise.  My Friday began with a tsunami of work crashing down on me from early in the morning.  I had planned to finish before 5, but ended up finishing around 6. Not too bad, but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

So before I start blabbering on about Friday- here's what happened the Saturday night during the week before. It was M's birthday, so we went out for dinner. Guess what we had...

Lobster sashimi- YOMYOMYOM

Friday evening began with the trek to Saap Thai- on Pitt Street.  It was a nice celebration for the end of work for the year (and for the BAccs, the end of their first internships!). Congratulations on finishing up work :)  I'm really pumped for the holidays.

Now, about the food- I read a few good and bad reviews about this place.  In hindsight, I wish I had paid more attention to the bad reviews- didn't really like the food they had there. Bosco ordered this real nasty plate of raw soft shelled crab salad.

Freaking hell. Haven't tasted anything so bad in such a long time.  After our end of the table got a taste of that crab, we passed it down the table and told everyone to "try it because it tastes so good!"

Result- everyone screwed up their faces and reached for water!

Dessert =  what else but a Maccas soft serve run!

Then karaoke- to make it the perfect end to the night. We went to Sydney Karaoke (on George street next to that korean convenience store) and when we got out of the lifts on level 2, we were met by two curry security dudes holding metal detecting wands. D:  When our hour was up, he actually came into our room to usher us out :(  Can say I am not going back again. Someone take me to Echobox. I heard their karaoke is good!


Saturday morning I was up bright and early to meet Chezza, Annie and Yun at Bondi Junction.  We were planning on spending a few hours at the beach, but that didn't happen due to unforeseen circumstances.  The weather.  No one actually checked the weather forecast. Bad idea.  It actually wasn't so bad.  We just spent mos of our time eating- or chatting indoors.  Bondi Westfield is so posh :)

Headed to starbucks in Circular Quay afterwards to enjoy a good drink.  Rumour has it that no one keeps in touch with their mentorees anymore.  But I really miss mine :)  Super glad I got the chance to catch up with them again. They're growing up :''') :''''')

Afterwards, we split and I met up with Borbs, Edsped, Joseph, Simon, and Awong to watch Carols in the Domain.

Drinking from that ferral  tap by the fountain...

Alice made fried rice, and someone brought plastic cups and forks so we ate from them :)

Cheers!

TO BE CONTINUED- (at Lis' place right now for a sleepover, and we're playing Wii. it's my turn)

taking photos of food is weird...

Well it isn't.  Everyone does it.

yo what's the haps, homie g

Hi Everyone.

It feels like ages since I've last been here. WHY? Cos I've been so darn busy.

I was here about 1.5 weeks ago. I had come back from retreat and sunburnt like crazy. Now I am tanned like crazy in all the wrong places. I have HORRID and distinct tan lines, but you probably all know about that now. There are photos on fb. I am not kidding. It is that bad.

Timeline after that:

Monday: work flat out. Get home late.

Tuesday: work flat out. Leave early to go to office. Leave. Get home late

Wednesday: work flat out. Leave early (which is 6 = not early tbh). Bosco's birthday bash at essen :D

Note: it's hard to see, but I just wanted to point out he's wearing his old lady korean hat.

Thursday: Same as Monday
Shopped for a dress also after work. Less than 15 mins. DONE. haha. I went to the right place.

Friday: My senior lied the day before. He said I could leave at 2.30 to make up for working over time the days before, but I ended up leaving at 5 anyway.  Hurried back to the office to get changed. Found out one of my friends had booked a night at the Rydges so we took advantage of her big mirror and bright lights to get changed and ready for our black tie christmas party. Following photo was captured by a photobooth machine.  Basically, this event is held for the staff every year for us to take advantage of canapes, free alcohol to get drunk and floozy and for creepy managers to hit on us.  True story.

Saturday: Thanks to sim :) We were able to go to LUNA PARK. Whole bucket load of fun. From the top of my head we went on the following: dogem cars, Wild Mouse, Pirate ship, rotor and ive forgotten the name of the other one.  SO MUCH FUN! Miss you girls :) We should do this again. v soon.

Sunday: Thanks to Bosco, I had another day of free fun at Taronga Zoo.

Thanks Coke! (And thanks SY I stole your photos)

OKAY IM FALLING ASLEEP.

Hectic day.

Will continueeee laterrr

i be back

yo homeeezz

I am back. I am suburnt. And I am damn tired. (but I had so much fun!)

My face is so badly burnt that a couple of random people asked me what happened to my face.

But more about that later.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
