Mr Murmurs and I had a double date with Ms LC and Mr hydrochloric acid.

We went to Time to Vino at Darlinghurst.

Not many entrees and even less mains (Me and Mr Murmurs ended up ordering the same 2 dishes as the other two). A ton of wine though (Duh, Murmurs!)!

Entrees:

Mains (x2 each):

Chilled at some bar afterwards, catching up

We decided to try something different as we walked past Lebanon and Beyond, Randwick.

Freshly squeezed lemonade

Sides

Beyond special: Lebanese style salad with tomato, onion, cucumber and avocado in a traditional dressing

Shawarma: Thin strips of lamb, marinated and chargrilled with onion and tomato, topped with tahini sauce, parsley

Waratenib: Vine leaves rolls, filled with rice, mince meat and spices, cooked in a special lemon based sauce.

In general, interesting and lovely looking dishes. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my taste; most of them were too sour for my buds. Don’t think I’ll go back…

Had dinner with AG at Medusa Greek Taverna at the City before heading to celebrate DZ’s birthday at Darling Harbour!

The restaurant was loud but nice atmosphere, too cold to sit out so we opt in, great service

Entree: Tzatziki. Yoghurt, cucumber and garlic (dips served with warm pita bread)

Entree: Loukaniko. Country style spicy grilled sausage served on chard leaf salad

Main (special): Pork belly with pomegranate sauce.

Main: Arni souvlaki. Traditional lamb souvlaki served with tzatziki, spicy salad and chips

Yum

Looks perfect with the pictured white gold Singaporean chain I bought for myself after high school (yonks ago).

Had such an amazing day!! All very enjoyable, and it was all because of the loved ones who’d turn up for me!

So thanks to: my family, my grandpa, my aunt’s family, AG, KZ & DC, NM, TW, RK, AC, KW, AT, DZ, HL, LC.

Thanks and congrats to my fellow (now) graduates.

And thanks for all the wonderful pressies!

After a tiring day of walking, we had celebratory dinner at Thai Riffic, Randwick.

After the mani+pedi, I met up with Antigen buddy and Virus friend! It’s been a while since I’ve seen them!!

Had a hell of a time catching up, uncensored! That was excellent!

We had Japanese at Takeru.

After staying past our time of welcome, we decided to stay at a games place to our hearts’ content (Norita)… Rule was, we had to order a drink each and then rent games from them. We had a ton of fun playing jenga, and whacking losers!

One day till my graduation! So excited!

Went to the City for a French manicure and pedicure before meeting up my Antigen buddy and Viral friend!

Anyway. The French manicure was straight forward. They asked what I wanted for my pedicure.

“Meet me on the star ferry by OPI” I stated.

They didn’t understand. So I repeated a few times, and they just brought me a whole lot of purple polishes (since my top is purple) for me to choose. I chose Lourve me lourve me not, topped with an OPI name that escapes me.

One lady working on my hands (let’s call her Ms-Mani), another on my toe nails (Ms-Pedi). Seems nice enough.

Until I heard the Ms-Pedi tell the Ms-Mani in Vietnamese: “It’s so hard to remove her toe nail polish”.

I don’t understand heaps of Vietnamese, but I get the gist of a fewthings. And it was then I started to worry… A little.

And then Ms-Pedi asked me what I had on my toe nails, to which I replied “Absolutely Alice”. They’ve not heard of it before, and no amount of polish remover can get it off! I didn’t recall having that much of a hard time removing it. Sure it was difficult, but it still came off!

So by then, I started to freak out a little and was tempted to ask her to stop… but that seemed rude… So i just sat still, watching Ms-Mani do my French tips.

Ms-Mani said to Ms-Pedi in Vietnamese again: “her nails are really nice”, but Ms_Pedi wasn’t paying attention cos she was having such a hard time.

Then I felt something weird. I looked down. Ms-Pedi had a nail filer, and was filing away at my toe nail. ARGH!

By then, I started to have a mini panic attack.

But I kept calm, since it’s only technically supposed to remove my polish, and I can still see the polish so it’s not going anywhere yet.

She used polish remover, then filed, then polish remover etc etc… I don’t know how many times, and then started to paint my toe nails when most of the old polish was off.

So I just sat there…

In the end, it turned out alright actually. My toe cuticles hurt a little, and my French tips looks nice.

Although it is my second pedi, and as pretty as it was, I don’t think I’ll get another one again.

Save my money for more colours <3

But! I heart this Frenchie!

I’m ready for tomorrow!
