Amused by Random Things

umbrella holding

2007-04-25T19:12:00.000+10:00

how come no matter how i hold the umbrella, the back and side of me still gets quite wet? honestly, only the top of my head (i.e hair) is protected..

on the other hand, loving the beginning of cold wintry weather because i get to wear my boots around uni =)

fly undone

2007-04-24T23:50:00.000+10:00

if you see somebody with their fly undone, do u tell the person?
apparently, there's an unspoken rule

girls can always tell other girls quietly, up to them if they want to tell guy

but guys can't tell guys cos then it'll be like- why were u staring at my crotch?

Because it happened to me the other day on the train and I was wondering- do i tell them or not? I did and the lady thanked me but I was thinking to self ( is she secretly also thinking- damm girl made me feel embarassed?)

what do u reckon?

2007-04-20T21:33:00.000+10:00

i was walking around the main quad area and the view outside the classroom window was amazing! makes you really appreciate how gorgeous our campus is ...

trench coat for winter

2007-04-19T19:30:00.000+10:00

can short people (i.e below 160cm) wear a trench coat? i saw one in just jeans and in big w.. gorgeous .. red.. but wearing it to uni seems a bit over the top..

what do u think?

a bit of everything

2006-06-24T02:17:00.000+10:00

exams finished (won't do well in them but at the moment ... i m just glad they're over... please nobody tell me that i'll do fine and to not worry.. i just know cos well i didn't study super well for them)

but i think i'll do alright in all the subjects overall

secondly

party tonight.. and i learnt.. tequila is really good! much much better than vodka...
i was 'high' on 5 tequila shots for about 2 hrs ( not drunk cos i remember everything about the night including the stores, going to Kogarah Woolies laughing my head off and refusing to hand the checkout person my 5 lemons all at once, for some stupid reason, i was counting them out to him? lol =p and hugging cookie monster tightly in front of the kogarah town centre toilets and liquor land, picture me giggly-usual level TIMES about 50.. ) and then afterwards.. i was just a bit tired and slight headache and then completely fine! seriously! the only after effect -- super super thirsty for the whole night

thirdly- so many things to look forward to
dinners esp Julia's lunch =) ,
jaime- barbecue somewhere? sylv mentioned something but she wasn't entirely sure either,
joining chinese at tafe with ben ( I hope we end up on the same level!)
hopefully will fit in with busy next semester

PLUS shopping and
just being on holidays and hopefully being able to work heaps at GJs

and soccer! it's just been great! i've been so buzzed from the games =)
is ''aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi'' really that cringeworthy?

finally
secret 'guilty' albums i like ( i think that's the expression?)
shakira! how catchy is 'Hips don't like' , even more catchy than 'Whenever, wherever'
britney spears! all of her albums

name calling

2006-06-18T22:46:00.000+10:00

LEEARNA

it's the first name i've ever seen that spelling before , another variation of my name

i just saw it today and it definitely looks like it should be pronounced

lee-arn-a

the way heaps of people call me

but i m Lee-ann-a

i've come up with the story that my parents spelt my name wrong on the birth certificate and left out an 'n'

but i still prefer it with one n

Leanna and Leeanna both look kinda long =p

back to studying for chem..

just breathe and think.. come this Friday, it will all be over!

quotes about self

2006-06-13T18:08:00.000+10:00

australian SOCCER.. i've read so many articles today about last night's match... and i watched it from the beginning.. was too upset to watch the middle 20 minutes (about 20 minutes before australia's first goal-- i was swearing and just shaking my head ..''oh no!! australia's going to lose! please no! at least let it be a tie! ''

mum actually sent me to my room and told me to calm down.. then i came back out and I am stoked- tim cahill scores! i was so excited!! hugged kenneth so hard! 2nd goal.. shrieked so loudly i woke dad up and third goal.. WOW!! =p mum was like -- i went in for 10 minutes and they scored THREE goals?!!!! and today , walking to uni, on the train, at uni, every 2nd person was talking about it... love australia! and weetbix!

and i really like this article that Kofi Annan wrote, please click here

and all the articles about soccer uniting people.. i don't think it's just soccer.. i think it's all sports =)

on a completely different note...

1) at work -- a man told me ''you look like lucy liu! nobody's ever told u that? really?? well u do.. and take that as a compliment!''

2) ben says 'you're the epitome of ''girly weirdness'' '(something to that effect)

why is she not cold?!!

2006-06-05T22:02:00.000+10:00

am i just unbelievably unfit (that's what my doctor said when i asked him about this) that i really feel the cold and need LAYERS and LAYERS (literally!) of clothes to feel 'not cold' ..not even 'hot' or 'warm' ..just not shivering.. everyday to uni?

i have a basic long sleeve tee,
a thermal (thin but super warm)long sleeved top
and then an actual top ,whether it'll be turtle neck or long sleeved pretty top

PLUS a jacket (usually fleeced lined)

and gloves

yet.. jennifer aniston turned up TODAY ( in all the rain.. i was SOAKED from knee down 5 minutes after i walked out the house.. the short walk to the station had my jeans soaked cos they were too long and i think i must have been really 'sloppy' and slopping the water up my jeans? .. and then walking around uni, walking from redfern to uni, walking home, walking to uni..and i also had an umbrella..anybody else feel crappy about the rain? any 'wet day' ..woops 'rainy day' stories?)

in that outfit! i don't understand!!!

and even on days when i don't need coffee.. i buy one just because it's cold and i want to warm up..
side note - cheap GOOD coffee outside refern station ($1.50 for uni students.. i buy it normally but now it's so cheap so that's even better =) ..the only downside is it gets cold by the time u get to uni .. i'd much rather buy it at carslaw or bosch so that in lecture theatres , the coffee is still warm....

yoga teacher is a bit loopy

2006-06-01T21:32:00.000+10:00

i got the impression that our (laura and mine) yoga teacher thought we were both from some south east asian poor country..

why do i say this?

today in yoga, we were doing lots of poses that involved stretching our hip joints

me and laura have pretty flexible hip joints ( compared to the two 25+ ladies ( one of them is definitely 30+, the lady with the british accent is a bit hard to tell) and the 50+ old man .. they were feeling the stretch and we couldn't feel much stretching at all even with the heavy sand bags on our thigh muscles. we got to do more complex cross legged poses =p )

anyway, at the end of the lesson.. anne, the yoga teacher commented on us having flexible hip joints and asked whether we sit cross legged alot.. and we're both like..yeah.. 7 years of primary school.. and then she goes something along the lines of '' oh, see, western kids have chairs...chairs are so bad, we should sit cross legged more often''

i had to keep a straight face and go 'yeah, we didn't have many chairs'

i like sitting cross legged....reminds me of 'show and tell' and 'story time' during pre school and happy memories of primary school..

besides isn't that the nautral position people go for when they sit on the floor? or maybe she's referring to the fact that most people work in an office and sit in front of a computer all day?

anyway.. what a weird weird thing to say.. obviously this is because laura and me were both BORN HERE! and we both went to school here- primary, high school and now uni!!

my chinese name

2006-05-26T00:59:00.000+10:00

詠敏(in chinese )
pronounced wing man

wing- [1] [verb] sing; hum; chant [2] the chirping of birds
man- [1] fast; clever; agile; speedy; nimble; sensitive [2] diligent; industrious; earnest; eager

so written in english it becomes wing man

alex u were right!! i didn't believe that it was really used amongst guys until i saw this in wikipedia (thank you laura for the link)

so thanks alex for saying it's cool and telling elie and leon! i think too many primary school kids chanting 'where are your wings, man' and 'come on, FLY!' made me think it was the worst english name ever

Wingman (social)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wingman" is a social role a man will take when he goes to a club or bar with an accompanying male. The wingman provides reassurance as they approach women. The wingman is also supposed to talk with the less attractive woman that they approach so that his companion can talk with the other, this is often referred to as "taking one for the team." Usually used as a lighthearted joke, the social role of a wingman is part of the model of courtship as war in which the object is to "score" on the woman. The implication of this combative metaphor is that if the man scores, the woman has somehow lost.

so bascially a helper =p

2006-05-26T00:10:00.000+10:00

on youtube,

somebody posted a link on up that shows a tiny portion of the evermore concert on friday at the seymour centre
it's not very good quality but isn't that pretty cool? lol.. i 'm just thinking..is it illegal to record somebody's performance and they don't know it and then show in it online?

well enjoy it while it's still up then..

click here for the link

this was the very last bit and see all the heads bobbing-- they're all the people got on stage and i was terrified that girls would cling to jon, the cute lead singer.. i was part of the audience, clapping loudly =p

Cate Blachett

2006-05-21T20:52:00.000+10:00

Anybody else excited?
i love Cate Blachett and she's got THREE movies coming out and they all sound HEAPS GOOD! i hope they are ( i hope it doesn't turn out like Nicole Kidman's 2005- after winning oscar.. she had Birth, Bewitched (that was a bit dissapointing..really really like Bewitched TV Series) and Stepford Wives and they were alright but not spectacular or box office hits)

'' Cate revives her Elizabethan role

Photo: AP

By Miranda Wood (from www.smh.com.au)
May 21, 2006

CATE Blanchett is set to reign again in the role that catapulted her into the Hollywood stratosphere.

The actress is reprising her acclaimed role as Queen Elizabeth I in the sequel to the original 1998 film Elizabeth.

Blanchett's performance as the English monarch was so powerful that pundits were astonished when she lost to Gwyneth Paltrow for the Best Actress Oscar. But the NIDA-trained actor now has the chance to set the record straight.

Looking every inch the part on the set of Elizabeth: The Golden Age in Cambridge, England, last week, Blanchett has again whitened her face and donned the Virgin Queen's red hair.

She has also shaved her hair back from her forehead by about three centimetres and has bleached her eyelashes and eyebrows.

Fellow Australians Geoffrey Rush and it-girl Abbie Cornish are also starring in the sequel.

A mother of two young boys and married to playwright and film producer Andrew Upton, Blanchett agreed to be in the sequel - based on its script and cast.

She has said that Shekhar Kapur, the director of Elizabeth, had long been trying to convince her to revisit the role, but she felt "I'd been there and done [it]". Her mind was changed, however, when she read the script and was told of the cast, which includes English star Clive Owen.

Elizabeth made Hollywood sit up and take notice of Blanchett.

The Melbourne-born actor has since starred in The Talented Mr Ripley and played the role of the high elf queen Galadriel in the Lord Of The Rings blockbusters.

Last year she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for playing Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator.

She also won the AFI award for Best Lead Actress last year for her performance as Tracy Heart, an ex-junkie in the film Little Fish.

This year Blanchett will star on movie screens opposite two of Hollywood's biggest heart-throbs - George Clooney in The Good German, and Brad Pitt in Babel. ''

EVERMORE

2006-05-20T00:42:00.000+10:00

Oh my gosh!

i saw evermore tonight at the seymour centre (quiet and pretty setting-- no moshing, no weird drunk people, nobody smoking inside, the band were clean cut and drinking water.. everybody sat there nicely tapping their foot and whistling )
i wish more bands held their concerts there but it is really only suitable for bands like 'evermore and sarah blasko' ( quote from Johanna and i agree completely)

Band consists of Jon (vocals, guitar), Peter (bass, keys) and Dann (drums).

they are SO talented.

Jon has a beautiful voice. and they're so cute and sweet ( before they left-- they said ''everybody , if u want , come up on stage and dance with us''.. =P i was SHOCKED! i thought all the girls would come up and fling themselves at them but nope.. they let the band keep playing 'it's too late' and they were all jumping up and down.. very cool of the band to let people come up on stage.. )

PLUS they're so much better looking in real life ! esp. the lead singer Jon ..he's not as chubby.. maybe he just photographs chubby? he's SPUNKY! all the way home, i was so dreamy --just thinking about him =P

i personally reckon he's the best looking one but the keyboard player Peter was also nice looking.. lol... he just had very elaborate gestures-- the way he played the keyboard.. and dancing.. a little bit 'gay' =P

the drummer Dann was our age and not very tall but extremely talented! they're just so good!

they had nice tshirts on sale too..must remember- for next time -to bring extra cash

thank you rena for suggesting the little taiwanese place near burlington and the shanghainese restaurant and insearch.. an absolute bargain.. very busy and very small place -- lots of waitresses bustling around us but very nice food and it wasn't super noisy..

$1 bowl of rice ( very big size) and $2.50 for a little plate of vegetables or meat or seafood...
it all added up to $20.50 for THREE PEOPLE! beat that! and we were absolutely FULL!!!

a great night out.. if only i was allowed to go out more often.. thanks sophia for getting the tickets and thank you everybody for the nice night.
and rena and johanna for the nice dinner ( we were walking around for about 30 minutes trying to look for a place that didn't have a LONG line.. tried ramen kan, seoul ria and this place called 'teppanyaki something and cafe' near ramen kan but it only offered teppanyaki and we didn't want that )

hope to have more good nights out soon OR after the exams in our one month long holiday! =)

evermore rock =)

Caramel slices --> late night snacking!

2006-05-15T23:33:00.000+10:00

ever since the little easter break, i've been nibbling on biscuits with chocolate on them, plain cadbury chocolate, mars bars, just anything with chocolate after 11 30 at night.. it's gotten to the pt where i 'm starting to freaking myself out now.. so plan no. 1 (for the next week)

anytime there's a slight want for chocolate- drink water or chew gum instead

i think it started with all the late shifts at GJs.. getting off at 10 , forgetting to bring proper food such as meat and rice or noodles for dinner

this led to eating the food at GJs instead-- marshmallows, little cups of coconut bounty and tim tams drinks or ice chocolates, little cups of hot chocolate and caramel slices ( i LOVE those!!!!!)

becomes a habit and also built up my body's resistance to sweet stuff.. i need to eat more sweet stuff to get the same feeling of contentment?

i think this increase in chocolate esp at night had led to bad skin, crabby mood in the morning and unable to sleep at night (restlessness) so *fingers crossed* the chocolate thing will go away soon!

anybody else going thru a sudden weird 'thing' ?

snow patrol

2006-05-15T00:55:00.000+10:00

ups and downs

2006-05-11T22:27:00.000+10:00

lost the necklace mum gave my last yr as an 18th birthday present.. DAMM! it's somewhere in the house.. i just don't know where!

thankful and loving the fact that i have a good friend who can knit super well! thanks laura =) i'm really looking forward to the scarves =) wasn't today's yoga lesson really peaceful and nice (even though we almost fell asleep?) =P

i have a blocked nose.. i think it was from yesterday's tennis game.. it was really hot when i was playing then afterwards, kinda cold then hot then cold so i left my jacket off and then it started to rain abit .. UGH! hate being sick esp if it involves being sniffly and having cold hands!

finally found the elusive 2nd book in the enid blyton series about the magic faraway tree.. i found it in the post office at broadway.. odd place to find it but i don't mind.. i m just so glad i finally found it =)

all my grey (dark grey, light grey, medium gray --which way is aussie again? with an 'a' or an 'e'?) jackets and t shirts have little holes in them.. on one jacket, the hole can be explained (sodium hydroxide burn) but all the other holes cannot be explained.. i told mum and she was talking to all my aunts about it and apparently.. silverfish or moths are responsible.. so massive cleaning of wardrobe yesterday.. the amount of clothes i have shocked dad =P i had to explain the concept of winter and summer wardrobe =P

that's about it for now.. count down to assessment time and exam time starting soon UGH

weekend review

2006-05-08T21:44:00.000+10:00

james is having a little boy! lol that's so cool.. even though i always pictured him having lots of little girls =) i am so glad it all worked out perfectly.. anna and him are going to be amazing parents =)

weird concidence (well i thought it was all coincidental and weird.. sarah murdoch (o'hare) had a boy on my birthday and named him Aidan (name of my yougnest brother) )

i'm 19 ... freaking out about that because i m still so unsure about where i'm heading with uni and career.. my brothers treated me to wedges ( i think they're better than hot chips .. hot chips come in at a close 2nd) and as much ice cream as i wanted.. lol.. but after wedges.. i could only manage 2 scoops of gelato.. =P the thought was nice though =)

went out on friday night to a dinner and it was really nice even though i only knew 5 people out of the 20ish people there.. i wish i had more time to get to talk to everybody and that it wasn't only dinner.. thanks jaime for taking me out! and johnny for amazing organisational skills..

that's about it for the moment....

cheap dvds!

2006-05-03T22:36:00.000+10:00

can u believe how CHEAP dvds are now?

would somebody , actually anybody be kind enough to buy me Roman Holiday from Target? it's only 12.95! and it's the special collector's edition too =)

anybody know of any other good audrey hepburn movies cos they're all on sale at Target (funny face? paris when it sizzles? war and peace? )but i don't want somebody to go and buy me all of them in case some of them are a 'flop' please don't get me 'my fair lady', 'sabrina'(did we watch it with ms ruck or was it for english? for some reason.. the film didn't leave a good impression on me) or 'b'fast at tiffany's'(got it already..thanks ky! and the group who chipped i =) ) and the movie with jennifer love hewitt as audrey hepburn is sucky.. of all the actresses they could have picked..why would u pick her to be audrey hepburn?

AND here's the proof that sneezes are a great way to pass on your cold! a girl sitting behind me sneezed on my jacket and tonight.. i m already sniffly, hands are cold, and my head aches.. and i've been sneezing quite a bit too.. damm sneezes!

bad day too.. i feel your pain, laura

2006-05-02T23:58:00.000+10:00

i had such a crappy day... i turned up to uni so i could go to 2 lectures and missed ALL of them!!!

first--i catch the 8.14 and the train stops between B.hills and K'grove for 10 minutes for no apparent reason.. except 'driver is trying to rectify problem..train will start shortly' so start reading speech (taking it out of pencil case)
this causes me to get to wolli later than usual .. the next train is scheduled to come in 4 minutes ( so i think.. good..will make it to lecture on time.. it's all the way at bosch.. i have twenty minutes to get there from wolli creek by train (to redfern) and then i'll speed walk) the train is LATE and by the time i 'm at redfern it's 9'oclock and i still needed to print off pharmacology speech for 1pm tutorial

print it off.. it's 9.20 already, still at fisher.. so i calculate by the time i get there.. the lecture will be pretty much wrapped up so i walk to my 10am lecture.. all ready to start.. then realise.. holy crap! my pencil case is missing WITH my speech for 11am tutorial.. start swearing heaps..rush out of lecture.. speed to fisher.. pencil case is not there.. realise.. must have left it on train,, freak out then realise.. sent speech to self last night .. print it off and finally head to my tut.

who the hell leaves their pencil case on the train? at least it wasn't my wallet, phone or ipod but still.. the day left me feeling pretty ick

anybody else have a crappy/ 'eventful' day at uni lately?

we're online

2006-04-27T23:39:00.000+10:00

did anybody know that we're on wikipedia?!!!!

it even has a list of all the head teachers and our 'stringent sock policy'

it's so weird that so much info is on the net ...

freezing!

2006-04-26T21:26:00.000+10:00

winter's nearly here.. it's getting colder with each passing day.. which reminds me- need to save money so that i can go buy winter jackets/tops...one teaspoon have a great range of tops that have a fleece underlayer.. but they're all a little bit low cut for me.. and they come in great colours too ..

anybody else feeling the freezing weather? esp. at syd uni -- the wind always seems to blow right through me - leaving me literally chilled to the bones..

Brrrr...

today at uni- a girl walked up to me and my friends ( this was at about 5 and we're all brain dead from a 3 hr physiology tut. ) and asks us about RU486

me- first thought.. r u 4 86? what's so special about 1986? then when 3 seconds later-- hang on, u mean the abortion drug? women should decide whether to use it or not, not the government... (what on earth am i talking about? utter crap! i think i was trying to sound like a feminist? like i was up to date with current issues in australian society? righteous? interesting? )
my two other friends are like- don't know anything about the pharmokinetics of the drug ( i.e how it interacts within the body, etc)

anybody else approached by this girl?

yummy new food- and more talk about work =)

2006-04-25T23:14:00.000+10:00

at work, we're using one company for all the cakes ,tarts and biscuits and they're SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the old ones

the rocky road slice actually tastes like real chocolate
the caramel slice rocks-- reminds me of nestle condensed milk (but johanna-yours is still THE BEST!)
the spinach and fetta roll is amazing-- tastes real good WITHOUT tomato sauce.. i usually just slather it in tomato sauce so u can only taste tomato sauce

next shift-- moving on to all the cakes =)

i worked today and three funny things happened
1) two ladies who were 30+ ( i think they were mother and daughter) ordered:
Two oreo bashes, two custard tarts, 1 pecan tart and two sausage rolls.. WHOA-- i think their order came to a total of about 30 dollars... michael (he's 16) was like- wow it's so rare to see females who can eat more than me
2) a man claimed his coffee was 'scaldingly hot' (isn;t coffee meant to be hot?), bought it back and wanted michael to make it..apparently, he always brings the coffe back if he realises michael didn't make the coffee.. =P why didn't he say so earlier? i wouldn't have been offended.. i know michael make the BEST latte milk =) two thumbs up! this lady lives in dulwich hill and works at rockdale and comes to Kogarah just to get two regular lattes every day =)
3) a weird guy thought that me and daniella ( she's filipino- dark skin, black hair , really pretty and petite) were related and when questioned.. he goes.. 'oh you guys both have black hair''

and i don't think i've actually gained any kgs yet but my stomach looks a lot bigger .. probably from all the late night snacks-- kettle chips, toblerone chocolate and arnott's tiny teddies PLUS all of mum's food that i've been eating since i didn't have uni last week.. UGH

will go on a 'no junk food, only fruit snacks' thing sometime soon

bad movie day + sleeping position

2006-04-21T22:45:00.000+10:00

Bad movie day- great success- great time-great to see everybody again-great cheesecake-

ky was excited that she drove to laura's place ( congrats! you're finally driving comfortably-no more of mum being super nervous?) and she was super excited but then we all burst her little bubble when we all commented that pretty much all of us drove to laura's place too. =P

everybody who was at BMday-- I only watched half the movie and even then, i was not facing the tv most of the time with my eyes closed and hands over my ear BUT i still can't sleep properly at night (it's been 3 nights now).. HAVE to have the night light on otherwise i literally freak out..

highly embarassing and stupid.. but lots of vivid images come up as soon as it's all dark.. so any sort of horror movies in the future-- definitely count me out..

dad's actually suggested i sleep with mum tonight

gigli- definitely WORST Movie ever! even worse than crossroads with b.spears (at least that had a storyline that made sense) what was with the script? and where was the chemistry between ben afleck and jennifer lopez?!

interesting article i found today about sleeping positions.. i can't decide what position i am cos i continually switch (due to bad back) between soldier, yearner and foetus.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3112170.stm

on a completely different note-- HALF of the brightly coloured headbands i got from paddys have snapped =( they were only $1 each cos i got so many and the lady gave me a special price , usually $2.
but then i saw heaps of cool headbands at lugarno chemist today but expensive.. will save up for them..i saw 4 i liked and at $5 each.. i 'm still deciding =P

CHEAP CHEAP chocolate!

2006-04-17T17:02:00.000+10:00

my mum went to coles today and came home with literally, bags and bags ( at least 5) of cheap easter chocolate .. slightly smushed eggs, cracked bunnies and really flat eggs ( i want to know how that happened). and She was SO happy with herself. LOL

bags ranged from $1.00-$2.95

and then told me that there were lots of other ladies, not all chinese, who were also fighting for these plastic bags filled with chocolate.

and that solved one of my mysteries. what happens to all the crappy easter eggs and bunnies? they're sold by-the-bag for ridicously low prices on easter monday.

i never knew that:
perfect lindt bunnies, freddo eggs, cadbury eggs, red tulip bunnies, lindt packages and all other easter chocolate-related things are all HALF PRICE after easter sunday!

coles ot woolies

2006-04-17T11:58:00.000+10:00

anybody else excited about this week's specials-- palmolive shampoo and conditioner for 2.50 each at woolies ?! usually they're about $4-$5.

it's weird.. i use to ONLY shop at coles.. and the majority of my shopping with mum is still done there. it's conveniently located near my house and parking there is heaps easy.

when catologues come, i never bothered looking at woolies .

But i've just realised-- i am now checking both catologues cos i m always on the hunt for

-cheap dove chocolate, maltesers and mars bars
-cheap gum and of course
-cheap shampoo and conditioner

and the fact that there's a woolies super near my work place is also cool. but everytime i shop at woolies, i always feel a little bit guilty.

anybody else have that loyalty thing? where they only shop at coles, or only at woolies or they don't care ? and if u guys only shop at a particular place, why is that so? e.g the nearest coles is just so much closer?

2006-04-15T18:04:00.000+10:00

I had lunch at Dixon, Hurstville today with Kelvin and ordered no.10 - ''Spring Rolls with Rice Vercimelli''

For some reason, a picture came to my head. Massive Spring Rolls crammed with yummy Rice Vercimelli.

Instead, a massive bowl of rice vercimelli came with tiny taro spring rolls. i think i ate a quarter of it.

Lol.. it was just silly of me. I should have asked the waiter on duty.

I also went Easter egg shopping with Aidan, my youngest brother. I have no idea why those eggs and bunnies were so damm expensive. I got fed up with the prices, saw 100g of toblerone on sale for $2, usually $2.69 and decided to stock up on that instead. Besides, I prefer toblerone to cadbury chocolate anyday. on another completely different note, I parked BEAUTIFULLY into a little space near coles today and i was so proud of myself. keep in mind, i'm driving a 7 seater honda odyssey.

I also saw Julia drving on Forest Rd today and I really like her car. Hey julia, I didn't know u were on green ps already! =)

I'm so excited about bad movie tuesday!
signing off now

I've been reading so many blogs since uni started and I've discovered that

1)it's a great way to keep in touch with people
2) there are some really witty people out there =)
2) i get frustrated when people don't blog at least once every 2 days and think to my self-What happened to them?!

yay! i 'm looking forward to hearing from everybody and keeping up with the blog

so stuff that's happened lately
-started yoga with Laura at Dynamic Yoga (use to be at hurstville and now at kingsgrove) hopefully it will help my sore back
-i don't whether i'm bored or just completely settled at Gloria Jeans but when i've been doing all my shifts , i no longer run around like a mad crazy headless chook except between 8 and 9pm and there's people in the upstairs section, lots of washing up has to be done, i haven't finished pastry case yet and i freak out a little bit...
-apparently at uni, there are 2 (that i know of but i don't actually know them personally) girls who look like me as in they 're my size, have my features and they also laugh like me ( FREAKY!) - one of these Leanas was so similar in appearance , my friend actually went up to her thinking it was me and talking to her , then realised.. hang on ,that's not Leana and then realised that he actually knew her remotely via another friend
- I m comfortable driving around the local area now by myself.. in fact I';ve been doing it for the past 4 months .. i m not sp0oked out by the silence anymore .. I just crank up the radio really loud ...and i can park!! reverse park, kerbside park and even park in underground shopping centres!
-i m over ebay now .. instead i love op shopping.. if only i could convince myself to buy second hand shoes...
-bought myself a pair of cheap big w ugg boots for home -- u don't have to wear socks! - enough said
-stopped getting excited about mascara.. just use any mascara and use heated eyelash curler
- want to start Indonesian again..
