1511O9 - Christine N.'s 18th & William 哥哥's 33rd Birthday.
1311O9 - Pui yi 姐姐's Birthday.
1O11O9 - Julie K.'s 18th Birthday.

I apologise for not blogging lately and no, it is not because I've been so busy that I haven't got the time to blog about my rendezvous with friends. On the contrary, my schedule have been quite ... empty =.= . Not that I prefer it that way, but there's not much I can do if I don't have that much $$$ on me *sigh*. Hence, the job hunt. Of course I haven't stayed at home for the entire time. For example, I went celebrating the conclusion of Kelly and Minhky's HSC exams, along with Vicky, Danny and Joes. We went swimming at Cabramatta swimming pool and unfortunately, Vicky seem to have jinxed us because right after she said "it could be worse" it started raining LOL that silly Vicky! Next was Parramatta to eat and watch a movie. And again, another Vicky moment occured; Vicky suggested that we'd go visit Eric while he works but once we got to the stall, he was absent. Vicky gave a call to him and apparently, Eric works at Bankstown and that he never said that he worked at Parramatta O_o' LOL! D'OH! Anyways, although initially there were some disagreements about what movie to watch, in the end we ended up watching 'The Time Traveler's Wife.' Apparently, the book review is quite good. Although I haven't read the book myself, according to Kelly and Vicky, the movie didn't seem to suffice in expressing the storyline effectively. They also said that if you haven't read the book, you wouldn't really understand what is going on for the first 30 minutes of the movie, or so. I agree. Even though I haven't read the book, I can tell that parts seemed to be missing from the movie, similarly to 'Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.' Even so, I thought the movie was quite sad and that they had managed to capture the compassionate atmosphere well. I almost cried xO! Keyword: almost. I think I'd rate it a 7/10 =).

Unfortunately I had family commitments, so I couldn't attend Julie's 18th birthday party xO NOOO! But I'm glad that she had heaps of fun that day =D. I could've came over at night, but I was just too tired, so I didn't. For once, since the holidays started, I actually slept before 12 AM LOL! Anyways, it was my cousin William's early 33rd birthday dinner. Yes, it sounds like a large number, but damn does he look young xO! I guess it's a good thing about Asians, we just look young most of the time, no matter how old we really are xP. People say I look young too... but I wonder if it's because of my looks, or because of my height.. =.= I think it's my height =P. Anyways, we went to Golden Star Restaurant, as usual, and the menu was the same as before however, there was an extra dish of fried squid. Apparently, the dish was something they used to like to eat when they were young. I didn't try it of course. The reason? I don't like eating anything with tentacles, except for jellyfish =). Although I'd eat almost anything with mango, octopus and squid are an exception to this =). After dinner, William, Marina, Edward and I went out for dessert at Ice and Splice: gelateria e pizzeria. I had a 'Cinnamon Belgian Waffle' which includes cinnamon and maple syrup, white chocolate gelato and whipped cream for $8.50. Thinking about it just makes me drool xD. It may be a bit expensive, but boy was it worth it! I feel kind of bad for making my cousins shout me all the time, but seeing that I'm the youngest, I guess it's okay. I shall shout them back when I have the money next time xD!

I could've signed out in one day but Mr. Mahony sure had a busy schedule as the principal. I also wish that I could've sold all my text books as well. What stingy students xO ngeh, Asians, what can be done. Yes, I'm stingy too, but I guess I usually just buy stuff at the original price, rather than bargaining for a lower price. Hms... maybe I should learn how to bargain. It can't be too hard, Asians are just natural at this! Maybe I should rephrase my sentence - I shall learn to be a successful bargainer.

Anyways, that's about it really. I've been wasting my youth away by rewatching dramas and reading manga *sigh*. Yes, I'm THAT boring. I'll be continuing with my job hunt, so ciao for now =). Hopefully, next I'll have more exciting news to share.

PS. Congratulations to everyone with finishing their HSC! Party hard everyone and take care!

breakfast @ city

Seeing that it was the first day of my holidays, after finishing all my exams and all, you'd think I would take my time sleeping in right? *sigh* Guess not. I went to the city with Cindy, Vicky and Michael to eat Pancakes On The Rocks at Circular Quay at about 7 or 8 in the morning hahaha. It was worth it though =D The pancakes were OH SO GOOD xD Cindy and Vicky even made a heart out of Cindy's blueberry pancake =D. In my opinion, I would've just ate it all up, but I guess they were experiencing an artistic moment =). The breakfast was kind of like a farewell outing for Michael since he was going to Hong Kong that same afternoon. Take care Michael =D and have heaps of fun!

AMAZINGLY ENOUGH Vicky actually arrived earlier than Cindy and I HAHAHA! It's karma - she's usually the one who's tardy, now it's her turn to have a taste of waiting for other people LOL! Another thingy that that happened was when we were on the way to the city, Cindy was eating Asian waffles, and she attempted a 'waffle-lmao' joke. Unfortunately, in the process, she accidentally dropped her piece of waffles ROFLMAOS! How adorable xD!

We went walking around afterward and were captivated by the process of making lollies at this shop called Sticky xD! It was so cool! You just can't take your eyes off of it =D. We shall go and stay there longer next time. We had to leave early because Cindy still had her last exam, extension History. Yes, I do wonder why she was out in the morning too, right before her exam. Then again, it was okay since it was an afternoon exam =). Hopefully she did well!

PS. Having 3 people running through the ticket booth is fun xD.
PSS. Cindy's long hair is fun to play with =).

HONEY, I'M HOME ;)

1O1OO9 - Sarina's 18th Birthday.
221OO9 - Lisa G.'s 18th Birthday.

What else is there to say? The title says it all =D! Okay, so I haven't been studying my ASS off 24/7 non-stop, but I did study, and i DID try my best. Now that it's all over, let's not think about it anymore xD! I would like to list down the things that happened during my study and exam period, just to remind myself in the future years for a good laugh. Here it goes:

1. Been streaming my ASS off xO LOL - now prefer k-pop over other language and genres (a phase that may eventually end lol). I also realised the huge amount of talented musicians and comedians out there xO! Good on you guys!
   
2. Went to the State Library for the first time. Couldn't even work for half the time I was there for I was too fascinated and intrigued by the architecture. I'm planning to go there again for a tour =) Vicky did give me one, but excluding the historical context =P.
3. Met Nathan C., someone I haven't seen in a VERY long time and is planning to meet up with again, at the State Library YAY!!!
   
4. Met Jessica P. at my own library and State Library, the least likely places that I thought I would see her.
5. Went to a NOODLE MARKET at night, with Vicky, Minhky, Nathan and his friend =). One word: AWESOME! They were also giving out ferero rocher for free! YAY! The others took HEAPS and gave me some xD how nice! Pepper Lunch was our dinner, then an underground arcade for entertainment before we headed homes. HAHAHAHA Minhky and Nathan kept on tickling Vicky xD Poor girl. I couldn't do much with my petite size xO grrr!
6. Thank you to Linh and My Linh for planning to celebrate my graduation with me, but unfortunately I was already on my way to the formal xO! I feel so appreciated =D!
   
7. Had a day of puns with Vicky and Eric ... LOL! (mathsecre - Eric = massacre ; seasick - Vicky = seesaw).
   
8. I DYED MY HAIR! Yes I did, as a way of celebrating the end of my exams. Well it's supposed to be honey, light brown but it turned out to be dark brown. It's okay since it was the first time I dyed my hair. Hopefully, the next time I do dye my hair it'll turn out more like the colour I want xD. Thank you Vicky for helping me xD! I feel like I owe you even more now LOL! Oh, and we also dyed my dog, Toby's, tail ROFLS! It won't happen again, so don't worry =).
   
9. Kelly persuaded me for just over more than half an hour to swap back our password. I don't know why I yielded to her =.='. I am going to feel so bad if she stuffs up her exam xO!
   

To those who still have their HSC exams left, GOOD LUCKIES !!! Those who have finished, CONGRATULATIONS and PARTY DAMN HARD NOW !!! Those who are going overseas, TAKE GOOD CARE and HAVE FUN !!!
