So I havn't posted since before the september holidays.
First off I went to west end on the tuesday and got quite a nice meal for a very low price got ice cream and go the core component of my costume for ann's 21st :) I was looking for ward to it (and it didn't disappoint)
So fast forward to the holidays. The party was on saturday and I was basically cleaned up my room on the day got on a plane, jumped on a train and went there, all up about 5 hours of travel that is commitment...it is much less that if i had decided to drive..and i don't have a car ;p So the party was pretty much a huge meet up for high scool peers some of whom I haven't seen for a few years so it was quite nice
I think the party was great because pretty much everyone came in costume, met a couple of new people, had good food, tried new drinks, had a pinyata, got a prize for 3rd best dressed, lots of joking and generally having a great time!
I got a ride with Helene on the way home and she told me that the car was about 9 months old...but still had the new car smell..amazing!
So the next day I don't remember being too interesting, mainly catching upw ith family and helping around the house :)
The day after mum took me out to lunch and i remember how good the food is in sydney but apparently there is some good food in brisbane which is quite cheap (more on the gold coast as aunty veronica told me a couple of weeks ago) The next couple of days were quite boring, just chopping down banana tree, mowing the lawn and backyard, blowing leaves around etc
Wednesday was a bit fo a family get together and we got crab at a resturant ^^ it was quite nice from memory but dad says that they cooked it wrong...it was so so much better than any crab i had in brisbane though :P
The next day I would like to call the day of 3 dinners. First off I decided to go to UNSW because I have barely been there or looked around the place or anything. I figured I would bump into enough people so I told about 7 or 8 poeple I was coming. I caught the train with hanson to UNSW and he had to go to class so I walked around for about 5 minutes orientating myself finding a map and lisa texted. I met up with her at the law library and we went to roundhouse for lunch (woke at 8 30 caught 9 30 train, got to uni at 11 lunch at 11 30) insane it takes 3 hours from waking up to getting to where i want to be at uni...uq takes 45 minutes form waking up to being where i want to be, so much difference.
From there lisa had a class so i decided to go exploring around, it was about 10 minutes before ben called me after his test and i met up with him. we were determined to go find people but didn't find tony or leon. we went into a staff only part and when we heard the door open we quickly left nad spoke broken mandarin as we went ;p After this, we managed to bump into minh chau and michael. from there we went to roundbhuose again and got wedges.
Ann decided to skip a lecture and join us for an hour(she invited me to gold class yay), hanson came by after his tutes and tram even dropping by for a quick hello before heading off with her law buddies for a presentation.
so I had 1.5 lunches and a breakfast so far. At about 3pm hanson suggested a macca's run and we went to the bus stop and kind of abandoned the idea of a macca's run in favour of going home. On the bus Ben was being sly and checked out a girl and said in our broken mandarin, not bad. I was trying to contain my laughter because she could probably understnad mandarin ;p
Getting home took about 2 hours because there was little delay etc, got picked up from the station etc. So we decided on skype that we would go for dinner and drinks (lemon lime bitters yeahhhhh) At 6pm when i had planned to go for dinner, there was only 1 other person up for it in the skype conversation so it didn't happen. I had dinner at home and jumped back on skype and the conversation was raging with dinner options :P I called up a few people and we had a group of 6 and went to a steakhouse. I had the worse calamari in my life it was crumvbed and tasted like bread....i understand why it is a STEAKhouse now :P That was my second dinner. After that we went our separate ways and it was about 9 30 at this stage, i dropped off a few people home and went to allen's house as we had arranged for pizza.
I went in and got him and we walked tot he pizza place. It was quite empty as you can imagine at 10 30 pm we ordered our pizzas and ate while catching up, not too much had changed in the last couple of months aside from allen reaching president of the unibuds association :)
he also planned to pick me up from my place and drive to uni! that saved me about an hour of travelling :) we got to uni and he hung out with me for about half an hour before he went to class (since he was late already he decided to skip a lecture-i make people skip lectures ;p). I met up with hanson and minh chau after exploring for a while and they took me to another on campus resturant called the white house based on the colour scheme of the house ;p
we got wedges adn they gave us free pizza yayayayayya, also i had some cider. Afterward I went exploring again and went to the abs buiilding where i met david and allen. we chatted and decided to go grab lunch. david however was pulled away from other friends he had promised to have lunch with earlier and I lisa didn't want to join allena dn i and would rather we joined her, wasn't going to happen ;p
we decided on going to a thai place and the pad thai (signature dish) was missing the sauce. I didn't realise because I hadn't had it before but that made sense afterwards ;p After that we went for ice cream at passionflower and they only cahrge another dollar to put the ice cream in a waffle basket ^^ I saw allen's nibuds assocaition place and he left me after that. I continued to explore the uni fro about an hour and jumped into a few lecture theatres to check out if they were better...some were some weren't (newer ones were way cool) I met up with tony and ben to go for dinner with ann and tram. chun texted me back and we joined us for dinner yay!
we met outside the movie cinema before heading off to din thai fung. didn't have time for a long drawn out meal so had the yum cha style meal and it was quite deleicious :) I had wanted to go there since dental convention and it happened yayyy!!
Afterwards we went to the movie and got our tickets and headed up to the gold class section, it was a completely different atmosphere gosh I felt sophisticated but certainly didn't look it :P
the movie was quite good but the novelty and the seats and tables and completely different atmosphere i felt was worth it, made the movie ruby sparks a nicer experience.
went to a board game place and had a tonne of fun we oprdered some igloo thing and there was ice cie cream some strawberry sauce and fruit. it was quite nice before thw hole thing melted ;p we played jenga and i had a blast!! at about 10pm though we had to go home as ann and tram had concerned parents ;p
when we walked out it was the first time I had seen rain in about 3 months and i didn't like it ;p.
The last day was saturday and I helped dad out with some guttering nad laundry spin thing problems and we got everything done yay! bought concrete, guttering downpipes and stuff for christmas time when i come back :)
i woke up and got a text from jetstar delaying my flgiht by an hour. it didn't matter just had to tell aunty sisana dna duncle mark. the plane hourney was quite interesting because the guy netx to me was talking tot he guy diagonal from me and they converstaion was interesting :) yay to no boring flight ^^
brisbane airport has changed a bit so getting picked up was annoying but id di get picked up in the end. my room was as i left it and it has taken a while to get used to brisbane again...i'm not even sure i'm used to it yet even after 4 exams ;p there is only 2 assessments left in the semseter before the final!
In brisbane, ben helen and i went to sunnybank for lunch once and afterwards we went to a dessert place which was quite nice :) Jenny's birthday was a sleepover, elaine came and grabbed blankets and pillows form me :P
had mooncakes, and aunty susan is getting much better now, she has more energy and gets tired slower which is excellent!!
so we have a presentation tomorrow and it is impromtu so i am procrastinating of course :)
