so i am back in brisbane which basically means a daily post from now hahahaha
since the 8th i've done a few things, so 8th was basketball and crash my place. 9th was natalie's birthday and i embarassingly woke up late...i woke up when i should have been on a train well on its way to the city hahahaha but i made a call and caught up with them...an hour later :P they were looking at movies and went to buy junk food for the movies unfortunately there wasn't enough time to do that so we went to the lindt cafe and got the cake and it was beautiful. even the bag they gave us was so so nice i just kept touching it hahahaha
so we got the cake and went to the restaurant that we were going to have lunch. it was pizza and personally i didn't really like it since the bread part was sooo sooo thin and i think the choice of toppings was alright but yeah...ok but not amazing. after lunch we went to galaxy world where i shouted everyone games :d not that we played that many but yeah got a few down, played some racing some ddr, some chance games and got me some tokens :D was going to play dodgems but it was 6 bucks a head....crazy expensive!
after that we went to teatime and i got a vanilla milk tea and it was alright but by about the 5th sip it got kinda boring hahahahah
ooooo i forgot to mention on the way to market city which was where galaxy world was i stopped by at mappen and got 2 bottles of bluberry tea and got everyone to try it :D and told them how amazing it was :D only 6/8 had some hahahaha i also stopped at 85 degrees and got some more cake :D too bad that i won't be able to get any unti l the next time i'm in the city :( same with the lindt cafe :( they need those in brisbane! i would totally go there once a week!!!!!!!
so anyway after galaxy world and tea time we took some capitol photos before going home because a few people had work at 5. so we met up with adam and we did the crossword on the mx. even though i am quite sure half the answers we got were wrong we still felt a strange sense of accomplishment hahahahaha. so after that adam and i got off at fairfield and allen came to pick us up :D we crashed his place for about an hour and pretty much watched news and played connect 4 which i started off as terribad and ended up alright :P
we had pizza for dinner too but this pizza was amazingly good. it was a new establishment and the guy gave us a free garlic pizza cos i was talking to him while he was making the pizza hahahaha :D so we got 2 really nice pizzas and the guy said that we could customise our pizza at no extra cost. it was such a laid back nice family atmosphere. really a lovely restaurant!! shame there weren't too many people. while we were eating a random walked past and allen burst out, you know that guy, i knew him from primary hahahaha
the pizzas were good especially since they were walking distance from allen's place hahahaha.
so afterwards allen and adam stayed over at my place :D we watched modern family and played cards. that was a really good night of fun :D i haven't played cards in such a long time, it really was nice :D
the next day was my going away party which i organised hahahaha. basically i was really glad i told people to come after lunch because i woke up at 11 and by the time i had breakfast and everything someone came, at 11 30 hahahaha. despite the fact that he hadn't had lunch i still let him in :P next person was lisa who i had called earlier to ask her to buy some food for after we got out of the pool and we were wet cold and hungry :d she bought what i had asked her and she pretty much saved the party :D:D otherwise we would have had to have rice :P
so the beginning of the party we were just talking for a lot of it before chun and allen decided to jump in the pool which i had been cleaning for the past couple of days...that i had been home hahahaha (chinese new year). it was quite clean i must say myself hahahahah. lots of fun...especially when they kept pulling me underwater hahahaha! played gridiron, football, cops and robbers and some made up games in the pool. tried to play volleyball but the football is not the right shape hahaha and the other balls were deflated.
i had put some lasagne in the oven before i went swimming and when i came back in it was the right cookedness. it was sooo good and everyone was ravenous except for those who didn't swim hahahah
made some nuggets and pies to go with it and it was all finished! no one wanted fruit though hahahahaha didn't have to cut up any watermelons :P
so then we talked some more whilst we let it digest and then threw water bombs at each other and jumped in the pool agian this time with twice as many people. it was at this opportunity that i decided to bring in a hose hahahahah the cold water made the pool seem sooo much warmer :D so that was good...except when i got splashed hahahah
so after i got out of the pool at 6 30 we ordered pizza. mum and dad made side so quickly it was amazing like the cut up potatoes for chips, deep fried it, made salad and rice all in about 20 or 30 minutes :D i'm so lucky to have them!!
so after dinner we talked some more but it was quite clear that a lot of us were exhausted so we just watched some bad television before tony pulled out his macbook and we watched some community which the main character makes very interesting :D
about 8 o clock a lot of people left and that was when i pulled out a mattress and lay down on it hahahah. we didn't do much more, didn't play singstar like i wanted to, didn't play band hero but oh well toooo tired :P
at about 9 most people had left and i turned off the lights and adam and allen were staying over again so we just talked and some people came back cos they had left something behind whether it was a funny book, some clothes from swimming or a phone recharger...it was something :P
so i went to bed at about 12 rather i fell asleep at 12 and woke up at about 9 and i had a train at 10 01 a palindrome!
so i woke up on time! yay and adam and allen came with me to the station but they didn't catch the train :P they got some food or something i dunno hahahaha so i went to concord west and waited for more people to go bike riding. i sat there for 15 minutes before jenny and catherine came. and we waited another 10 minutes for annabel. from there we got a ride to bicentennial park with cathy.
at the park we walked to thebike shop and met maddy and tram there but waited for ruo and sriviti. we hired 4 single and one tandem bikes :D. i was going to ride single but none of the girls were tall enough to ride the tandem so i took over that and ruo was in the back cos she didn't know how to ride a bike i made it quite the adventure for her hahahaha. the first down hill we went on we practically travelled at about 1 km/h because she kept tleling me to put on the brakes :P turning around was quite a challenge cos the tandem was quite long. the most fun part was when i went on potholes and she pretty much screamed every time hahaha i know that was terrible but we didn't fall off once in the 4 hour bike hire. the most tiring part was when i was racing cathy and annabel and i just went full power beat them all but didn't know where i was going so had to wait for cathy. beat her YEAH then waited for annabel cos cathy went back to the picnic area
so we went in a really dubious place and it stank so we turned back and the hill was not favourable to us hahahaha
i wet myself...in the fountain cos it was a hot day before watching the girls play some of the games they played in high school which were strangely drawing...as in i could pay attention to it hahahaha they were simple games whcih made you laugh,....when someone made a mistake :P
oh i forgot to mention the subway i got looked gross by the time i was eating it but it still tasted nice. yummy chicken and avocado :D
so i went home and i don't remember doing anything for the day
then it was the 12th. i'd had so much fun and it was quite sad to leave sydney but i am determined to make brisbane comparable hahahahaha so i came back on jetstar and we had a spot of traffic getting there but it was alrgiht still early :P the airport was rainign when i left and coming to brisbane was a superb day absolutely stunning, very little evidence of the flood except for the broken pontoons
settled back in played some games. sorted out some things looked at mail went out of dinner at the golden palace which was quite nice :D the fish was yummy, the salad was ok, jellyfish salad and the quail wasn't too salty yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum! soup was probably the best dish folllowed by the eggplant :D
so i got home had a shower and did stuff til about 1 then slept
woke up at 9 but got out of bed at 9 30 ::P stupid sun and traffic hahahaahha
i had breakfast before reading some dental stuff and falling asleep again and again hahahahahah probably shouldn't read in bed :P
we went to visit gik gong int he nursing home and he was sleeping. i met lotus for probably the first time and she's in kindy and she was laughing at absolutely everything so adorable :D
after that we went to aunty olivia's palce and she gave aunty susan a computer but forgot a keyboard which meant we couldn't press f1 meaning we coouldn't see what software was on it :P
we had dinner of raost pork which was quite nice and i unpacked my things before playing some games and chatting on msn
anyways time to head off to bed took me about 50 minutes to type this up omg...1 already hahahaha
