Running on adrenaline

it is undeniable, i have had blogging withdrawal symptoms. it's just the combination of being too busy and lacking the motivation that has led to this.
and as the exams are all going to be over i'm starting to get a taste of how things are just going to get more hectic from now on.

one good example was yesterday when i had to work, finish the corrections on my last essay, head to jacques reymond by 8.30 for dinner
which i must admit was one of the best dinners i've had in Melbourne and for $230 a head it was quiet worth it.
plus kim was being in the once-in-a-lifetime generous, who would give up on the offer?
wah wah lounge for Phreac's second event then back again to the uni books.
slept at 4 am

woke up at 8 am to hand in the final essay and start work at 9am.



plus tonight:

dr. john's farewell dinner at 6.30
drinks with fai (coz i've been ditching him numerous times this past week)
and then Se7en for more partying

i think i'm becoming damn champion
running on 150 bpm

yet i still don't know which direction i'm heading towards...

Finally at the stairway of adulthood

contrary to popular belief that i would spend my 21st drinking till the sun don't shine and my liver cries alcohol, i actually spent it very quietly

most of the day was dedicated to house-hunting.. because the second option of living in melb uni's shiny relatively new tram stop just doesn't seem as tempting somehow..
maybe the lack of walls and amenities has something to do with it

a small note to the aussie government:
good for you.. your currency has gone up
so what about the students like me??
you know the rent has increased so much it's getting difficult to look for a decent place without wondering how i'm going to pay for the place without resorting to some dire means like say.. robbing the bank or prostitution..
i'm really that desperate..


and also getting dragged by Beavers to Box Hill to some rock-climbing equipment sale there..
although i haven't been to that place in ages i amazed myself by still being able to recognize the roads : pat on the back for me..

he paid me back in milk tea, takoyakis and my fav egg tarts..
all is good..

reason for the egg tarts : i like this specific portugese ones from this specific shop in box hill and only there..
the prob is the portugese ones always run out so fast
so i'm left with the cakey-based ones..
just have to deal with it i suppose.. better than nothing..


also during the house hunting i found a few great things:

1: beard papa opened in melbourne
it's at the corner of elizabeth and flinders st
i really like their passionfruit cream puff
i'm going back to try their chocolate souffle soon


2: i rediscovered my fav jap restaurant
they relocated a few doors away from their old place.. i was actually prancing in front of the shop when i found it coz i can't stress how much i love the food and how sad i was when they moved

seeing how excited i was the yucky-bear made reservations there for dinner..
( for him i think it's coz we had our first date there so he's like yay too)

i have to say, the dinner was soo good!!
i really love the food there.. and it's not too pricey too
we had ebi tempura (they make it in a special batter so it's different), okonomiyaki, sushi + sashimi moriawase, jap meatballs and chan-chan yaki ( a salmon specialty there )
accompanied with umeshu ( cold plum sake - which is super yummy) and this special jap tea
and for dessert: green tea and sesame ice cream
omg so full!! but everything is so yum!! i'm really not exaggerating about this place
i do think it's that fantastic


thank you smelly-yucky for the dinner. you so champion ok..

3: new pair of white flats
i wonder how long it's going to take me to wear out this pair... white and me just don't always go hand in hand..
i was tempted to buy 2 pairs but he stopped me saying think about the purpose.. you use flats more than heels anyway..
the puppy-wide-doe-eyed look doesn't work on him
i'm still dreaming about the second pair.. very cute open-toe black patent-leather
only 60.. but i can't really throw the iwannasave$plan out the window

when i have enough$ i suppose
men just don't understand a women's need for shoes..
i only have 10 paris ok!! so don't blow the situation out of proportion

also i got a phone call from home! yay!!
i think it's been at least 2 months now.. that i've talked to family
we sms a lot but rarely talk on the phone..
it's good just to hear family again it perks my spirits up and it's just fun
plus we talk for hours after so long and it's just really great


and..
loads of love to all those who gave me birthday wishes and presents!!
and especially to those who attended my birthday dinner at shoya + golden monkey 2 weeks ago, thanks one more time!!

and also a special one to the housemates for the spanish dinner at robin burns last night
again, thank you so much guys!!! i really appreciated and loved all of it!!


NotSoLittleJin: good luck for your SPM on monday

i think this is the most i've blogged about for a long time..
i'm a bit bored bear went out for a boys night.. i suppose i should just go back and hit the books..
i'll try to get my hands on some pics from the birthday dinner at shoya + golden monkey the other day and tonight to post up soon..

EXPECTATIONS


when you expect the best
and the worst happens

when you expect for hope
to have it all come crashing down

when you expect happiness
and all you get is dissapointment

when you expect perfection
and all you get is nothing

yes true i wish for something more.. is that wrong?
and when in the end this wasn't what i wanted then i have the right to feel upset don't i?

how long will i take to accept reality and get over it?
i really don't know

either way i guess i have to thank you for all the memories..

cure? shopping
i bought 2 tops on my first good day in a long time to make myself feel better.. they were on sale.. i really couldn't help it..


it's only a temporary cure.. i got a better one.. i'm going to ed hardy tomoro..

i was bored.. so my nail colour at the moment : black
then really smart me realised i had to do hand-wash laundry and now they're looking a bit chipped.. grr...


xx

also met up with DazedDarren, ShivMeister, NH3teapot and damien today for coffee.. i got burned by them so bad.. damn it.. at least they all had a good laugh on my behalf! no pics tho.. from coffee -> dinner @ rich maha -> hush..

first good day and i'm already up around town..
luckily MrsYap isn't here or else will kena for going out so much just after i recovered


bad news tho i still can't find that pair of boots!! that elusive pair of perfect boots.. damn it!! i think i'm just going to ed hardy then.. not bothered looking anymore..

JUST ANOTHER ONE FOR THE MEMORY BOOKS..


the weekend has been short of nothing but great
catching up with everyone was just a blast...

friday night: dinner with kryst + yy + BFFngJJ
i hope that they enjoyed the dinner at coca..
i don't mind admitting that the dinner did put a little hole in the wallet..
i really didn't expect steamboat to be so expensive!! haha.. but it still was a nice dinner..


saturday night : BeefBabes + KwangkingBlob
hehe.. Bobas opened this new place called Hanna in Sri Hartamas


it has this really nice funky new age jap kinda layout.. and it's worth going when the place properly opens. which is tomorrow.. located on the parking lot near the main street as you turn into Hartamas.. the it's opposite the KK convenient store.. on the other side of the parking lot
haha see Bobas i'm advertising your place!!


so there we were having free flo drinks.. then Beef's frens were in Somo so off to Somo for 15 mins before they left then back again to Hanna for more drinks.. lols.. and while in Hanna, Will + BFFngJJ popped by and i have to say although they never met each other before (ie: Kwang never met Beef/Boba, JJ never met Beef, Will never met Beef/Kwang and well Beef didn't meet anyone before) they've heard so much about the other person and they all got along really well!! so it turned out to be a really really great night out for me!!
*smiles all around folks*

must must!! thank Boba.. THANK YOU BOBA!! lols..

*sorry no pretty pics coz the forgetful forgot to bring canon along.. *

SWEET SENORITA WITH LIPS OF CHERRY RED


despite gingy's accusations i didn't elope on 7-7-7
sorry no cuties in kl.. sigh* sad ain't it?
instead i went to laundry on that night with my BestieLor & BeeBabes


not many pics but sweet senorita cocktails thru the night

and on sunday with BFFngJJ to help him get a cake and present for his mum's birthday..

i suggested a manipedi spa treatment to which he happily agreed.. so no need much thinking, pondering and searching.. only prob the silly boy forgot to put money in his wallet.. haha..

luckily i could help.. sometimes i wonder what he would do without me...

and i think my family thinks i'm a bit on the alcoholic side now.. Mims opened a bottle of brown brother's reisling last night and i polished about half the bottle..
in my defense i just like my alcohol doesn't = to being alcoholic!



o and Kryst i picked up a 1/2 dozen donuts from Big Apple and i have to agree that they're pretty good!! haha.. i'm gonna get fat soon.. see people you say the piggy looks like a fake pig-dog.. he's going to be looking like lil' tina pretty soon!!
