| | hey! missed this a little, the blogging. since my birthday ive been away/busy/onthephone or any other msn status available.
that includes appearing offline. heres a quick recap of whats been happening, more for my own memoirs than anything else. Friday 13th - my birthday
got tons of wishes from many many people, and for which i thank you all.
got totally smashed at night, for which i..thank you guys too. haha, even if i dont remember half of it anyway
lost my glasses, thanks to sarveen Sunday 15th - flight
i took off on a plane to melbourne australia.
i like flying in planes, catching up on your movies and tv shows on the inflight entertainment is pretty good too.
land in The Land Down Under.
weather is biting cold but i love it.
tis invigorating.
have my first australian meal; italian and get shocked by the portion sizes.
sister goes mad over aussie boys starting from cute customs officer in airport. Monday 16th - city
take the tram to the city.
love the weather (lotsa sun with lotsa cool winds)
i love the tram system which is just..novel
a reaallly cute chinese girl helps out my mom with the tram ticket buying
i mouth my thanks to her from across the tram and she smiles back at me sweetly.
food and shopping is good
i love the hustle and bustle of the city, with the cold winds blowing and warm benches to sit on
i like the stride of the streets and the sweet jazzy strains of music from the busker who looks like ray charles.
i give him 50 cents. Tuesday 17th - explore
today instead of a tram its a train, which is also pretty cool.
public transportation is fun, cuz it gives you some nice time to either think, relax, work, or talk with people.
or listen to other people talk.
melbournes beautiful now, with the weather and the new buildings thanks to the olympics.
federation square is awesome and with the international arts festival on now, there were tons of things to see.
breakfast is at a small cafe with realllly good food
its so small the plates are on shelves up on the ceiling, the cute aussie waitress had to climb a chair to get them.
note: all aussie restaurants serve water in bottles with rubber plugs. very kitcsh.
now i know why whites tend to be fat.
firstly one portion of food could feed a third world nation.
second they have shops like max brenner and kokoblack where the menu consists of solely chocolate based items.
third they have Suga. you know those little round sweets with words or pictures inside?
well, those are called Suga's and theyre made by hand.
fucking awesome to see.
went to a park at night with my siblings and had fun just running around.
walks in australia are wonderful things, especially in spring.
weather is just damn beautiful, love song lyrics just spout from my head.
i ring up kai young, sylvia, sue zen. Wednesday 18th - food
chinese fried rice at a malaysian restaurant.
once you overcome the shock at the prices it actually is pretty good.
Yeong Cheau Farn as it said in the menu

i could just lie there and read a book under a tree all day.

the clubs 2nd anniversary = free tequila for 2 hours.
soho's a new drink thats pretty damn awesome too.
the layout was nice, an L shaped club with r&b, hip hop but across the way a single room that plays all trance and hard house.
