Breakfast

Dinner

I met up with the uni gang last night at a Korean BBQ place to have catch up dinner as we haven’t had a proper one all summer!

I wore my new flats and brought a change of sandals, but when I got off the train, the shoes were cutting me so deeply I had to change almost straight away. Walking was fine after that, was I ended up being the first one to get there (most of us knew where it was). So I took a table for 8, and the waiter showed me to the outside area (some of us liked that, while others hated it).

Whilst on my iphone and ipod, feeling a little bored, DZ and KW turned up. Then it was GT. Another while, AG called to ask where it was (371 and 371 on the opposite sides were quite far away from one another, and that confused both AG and AT, the latter whom I went to collect after many phone calls!). KW went to get AT, GT went to get money and offered to look for AT, and after not returning, I went to look for AT and saw HL and LC were outside looking for AT. Needless to say, all was confusing until we all got to the table.

Next confusing thing was the ordering. W e had 8 people, 2 BBQ cookers, so we splitted into 2 groups of 4′s. We settled on ordering double of each dish, but I wanted to try more stuff (without the repeat cos I figured we could’ve shared), and it was all too confusing until we agreed on ordering for ourselves separately. I don’t know how, but we ended up with mostly the same dishes anyway *sweatdrops* I didn’t get to take individual photos cos the guys wanted badly to dig in! haha typical!

Madang, Pitt street, City

Marinated chicken, Beef ribs, Dumplings

Ox tongue, Pork brisket, Korean “gyoza”?

A repeat! Haha

Side dishes, Soft shell crab

Cooking (I didn’t do it haha), conversing and eating was a joy! Many high times (how I missed them!), many current affairs, many memories brought back while eating a whole week’s serve of meat! And how we finished it, I do not know. But we did without any to spare! It was satisfying =]

Walking out wih a full stomach, we walked to Darling Harbour where we were to play bowling. Couple of people didn’t want to, and since there was laser tag there, we decided to play that instead. So, I was in sandals and a dress, the other girls were in uncomfy shoes… but what the heck! We all did. 3 games worth! Since it was my first time, I was naturally unequipped, and lost miserably. I improved the next two rounds; in fact, we girls team (with Mr AG) won the 2nd round and took victory photos (and defeat photos of the boys) as proof! Ah that was fun!

After that, we parted ways. It’s been fun, and hopefully have a repeat of the amount of fun some time soon!

I believe this was Ichiban Boshi, Town Hall

Edamame

Gyoza

Very spicy ramen

Miso ramen

Determined to get some of the things crossed off of my list, I finally got around to hand-washing some of my clothes.

My long sleeved hoodie top (more like a jumper), 2 pairs of stockings, my shorts…

Not sure what some of the instructions actually meant, I dumped them one by one in the basin full of cold water and added an arbitrary amount of washing powder and started washing them.

I had trouble with one particular; that thick hoodie – I had rinsed it about 5 times with clean water yet soapy water still runs through. Getting a bit impatient, I commented it to dad.

“How many scoops did you use for those 5 articles?” he asked.
“A quarter of a scoop?” (I hadn’t the heart to tell him I actually used half a scoop…)
“That’s too much!”

Oops! I’ll keep that in mind…

I’d a few things I said I’d do in my holidays during the semester. So now that I’m on holidays, there are no more excuses.

Except, I always find myself putting them off. They aren’t big or anything, I’m just… I needed a rest (inner self: true that), doing other things (inner self: do them later!), or just lazy (mum: that’s no excuse!).

Here are a few things that was on my list couple days ago… I’m hoping that posting them on this blog will serve as a lovely subtle reminder. Cough.

• Buy a few things:
  1. Personal girly things (i.e. fash wash… sanitary essentials…)
     I actually did that yesterday with my mum… but that wasn’t because I was bothered… but I was starting to really need it. Blush.
  2. Rubber gloves.
     So I can hand wash some clothes I’ve worn during the semester but never managed to wash. Which is why I’ve been putting this off as well.
     But again, I bought these yesterday whilst shopping with mum, who kindly reminded me of it… Sigh.
  3. Medium envelope.
     To send out the skirt I sold on eBay. But the buyer hasn’t paid yet, so I’ll leave that till later…
  4. Keyboard.
     My keyboard is really really hard to press on, and since I developed RSI studying for my exams, Andrew and I switched so I can write notes on the computer… till I get myself a new one.
     I put this one off initially because I didn’t want to spend money (I decided not to go back to work these holidays… well, not just yet anyway, I need some quality time for myself), but now I’m putting it off because Andrew told me to; he might be able to get a discount, says he =]
  5. Buying a gift.
     Simply cos I don’t know what to get. Perhaps someone can recommend some gifts for a 2 year anniversary…
• Organise a few outings as we’ve been neglecting one another because of uni:
  • My girls.
    We haven’t seen each other for a really long time! And whom I miss awfully! I must take initiative…sometime soon…
  • Jess.
    Whom I had actually called and “arranged” to go out “sometime”… but haven’t set an actual date yet. Oh and it must be on a weekend as she is occupied Monday to Friday.
  • Mary.
    Before semester 1 started, we organised something but something got in the way, so we decided to go out in the holidays. And I was going to ask her, but she (being the more organised one) beat me to it. We’re going out this Thursday night at 6pm for dinner and shopping.
  • Uni friends.
    Because we hardly get to see each other for various reasons (everyone is doing their own thing, we’re taking different subjects because we’re majoring in different things, we don’t gym together from lack of time… etc). And… me, being really really organised, haven’t organised any thus far again.
    I actually just received a message 2 minutes ago from a uni friend asking if we wanted to see a movie and have lunch on the Wednesday.
  • Other high school friends.
    I haven’t seen them since forever!!! I’ll get off my lazy ass soon enough though…
  • My boyf.
    Our 2 year anniversary is on the 14th this month, which is next Monday… but he works on weekdays…
• Check results.
  It comes out on the 10th or 11th July! I can’t wait (don’t need a reminder but it was on my list)!
• Hand wash clothes.
• Decide whether  should go to a few places:
  • Opeth concert (before the tickets get sold out!): it’s during week 6 of the next semester… mid-semester break is between week 9 and 10…
  • 2 Weddings: I know they’re a must, especially since they’re direct relatives, but finishing 3rd year uni with a good average is also very important!

Hence concludes my list thus far.

I rearranged some of the furnitures because I was bored and needed something new with my room… Tell me what you think.

Old look of my bedroom

New look of my bedroom

Jess came all the way from Hurstville to Campsie just to see me ^^ Aw!!

We hung out in my room, having a girls’ chat and all and then went downstairs where Jess and dad talked like they were long lost buddies ^^’

And then AG came~ So we all hung out for a bit at the park…

Oh and our family and gramps went out to have seafood afterwards at the regular place we have it~

*licks lips* So delicious! And expensive ><
