Sorry this post is a day late; I was extremely tired last night. Got up at 7 after managing to sleep at 2ish (I've been having difficulty sleeping these past few nights) to cook the surprise breakfast for THE boy* and his siblings. Well, I would feel weird if I only made breakfast for him! :P













I caught the bus, and then walked to THE boy*'s place. I got to the door and gave him a call. He was still asleep (it was 9 am), lol, and I told him to open the door. And ooh!!



I thought the rose was fake since the leaves looked so shiny. Then I touched the petals and smelled it. :)



After he ate, we watched Bleach for awhile, since it was too early for lunch.



Since he said he wanted to do more reading, we headed to Myer and bought Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Lunch was Japanese.



Then, I said, "Let's go to Chinatown for tau foo fa!" We took the bus there, and guess what? The bloody shop was closed. Grr.. So we went to the supermarket instead and I got gui ling gao, black herbal jelly, and he got nata de coco. We sat on the bench, ate, and talked. Later I proposed we go to Gloria Jean's.



I fell asleep leaning on his shoulder while hugging Nick the bear. I didn't squish the rose! :)





Uni friends saw us at the restaurant and figured that it was the anniversary from the bear. Then we caught the train and I caught another bus home cause I was too tired to walk. I'm glad I didn't fall asleep standing up.

It was a good day with THE boy*. :)

Well, work today was alright. Straightforward enough. After 3 hours of work today, I'm now sick of sushi. Noooo... :( Well, I'll never be sick of the sushi back home so long as Genki's continues serving Spider Temakis and Genki Makis. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when I was told to smile more at the end of my shift. My facial muscles were aching already! I really think the supervisor wasn't looking when I was smiling or I'm meant to smile when I'm actually packing the sushi. :P

That's it, guys! Back to work tomorrow again. I hope I don't show my disgust for sushi to the customers. :P

AHH!H! I have a trial at Hanaichi, a sushi deli, on Thursday! W00T! I can see lots of future shopping trips... if I get the job, of course. :) This is turning out to be a pretty good day. And I helped this man who has walking difficulties with his groceries. I suddenly realised that learning Moral in high school in Malaysia instilled this in me. All the times I thought it was useless. I still don't think that they should test us on it, but it is a beneficial subject. :)

Well, last night, I brought up some really bad memories from the past to Trinity and she made me see sense again. Don't know what I'd be without her. Maybe I'd be locked up in a psychiatric ward already, tee-hee. Yay for sisters! Our talk last night lasted till 3:30 in the morning so I woke up at close to noon. Had lunch and started on another book. I swear these books are addictive and they're keeping me from my assignments!

Lalala. No, they're not self-help books. :P They're worse. Chick lit. I have a weakness for books like this. They make me laugh, sigh, cry, but then the ones that leave the biggest impression in me are ultimately books by Jeffrey Archer, Sidney Sheldon, Dan Brown or anyone who has a similar writing style. But I have my defence. Chick lit books are cheaper. I bought 3 for 10 bucks, and a Dan Brown book costs at least 13 bucks.

I'm a cheapskate. So? Ever heard the saying 'a girl will pay a dollar for a 2 dollar item she doesn't need and a guy will pay 2 dollars for a 1 dollar item he needs'? They based it on girls like me when they invented it.

Anyway, it seems the 1st month anniversary is gonna be all about food. Well, that's all the two of us have covered. I'll have to fill you guys in on that at the end of tomorrow.

Hope you guys had a fine Tuesday! :)

P/S: Eddie's right. I am happy. This post oozes positivity and energy! But I don't know why. It must be simply because it's the holidays!

Changed my header 'cause I got sick of the picture. As per before, I linked the old header on my side bar.

It's the Easter hols and I'm bloody restless, itching to go out even though I'm broke. I told my older brother that I shall forgo shopping twice (how stupid of me, it's the hols!) so that he can go ahead and buy the Need for Speed steering wheel. It's not that I'm going to mail him my money; I just see it as someone spending less from the common pool (parents, even though he doesn't exactly depend on my parents anymore) so that another person can spend more. *shrug* Well, it's not too pricey anyway.

And I discovered that a liking for tequila (or plainly enough, alcohol) might just run in the family. Wow, brilliant. I now have an excuse for my party indulgences. This works out very well! It even works hand in hand with that distant relative from China's claim that all our family members have a high alcohol tolerance level, despite the fact that he was tipsy that night. He had, after all, consumed the majority of two bottles of red wine in his excitement of toasting everyone.

Now, I ought to plan the week right. Nothing is planned for today except slacking off, because I am a bum. What a shameless confession. I will be either reading, watching movies or chatting on MSN today. Tomorrow, I shall start reading my assignment materials, since it's virtually impossible to write that bloody essay without doing that beforehand. Depression is prevalent among women. Doh. Talk about stating the obvious.

Wednesday, I'm meeting THE boy* cause it marks our one month. I can't believe how long it's been. Someone smack me. It feels wrong! No, not that I would like to break up with him now, just that.. ONE MONTH!! It sounds like a long time to me. I used to think that one month is nothing for a relationship, and the back of my head still says yes, that is jack all, but my heart's still going WTFThisCan'tBeRight.

Sorry.

Thursday, assignment. Friday, assignment. Fuck, the rest of the week, assignments. How sad. Well, that's for promising that I won't go shopping. Maybe I can cheat? Go to Harbour Town in Gold Coast instead to shop? Argh, this is where reason kicks in: you fool. You need to buy your train ticket. And shopping in Australia is never cheap. Do you realise that rent is due next week? If you run out by then, you need to ask mom for $$$ and thus explain where the heck it all went. Which is bad cause you don't know. Well, you do, but thinking it over, you know you didn't need to spend half that you did. You really are stupid, aren't you?

Er.. okay. Never mind. But the hols... :( I don't want this week to run away so soon! Grrr. I want to go somewhere! Gold Coast! Argh. Somewhereeeeeeeee... over the rainbow would be good. And if there's a pot of gold at the end... *WHACK!!*

Alright, I'll stop. This week's gonna be the crappiest holiday ever.

WAIT!! What do people do for their one month's anyway?! I've never done this before! *panic* Do they declare their undying... wait, never mind. That is a no-go path. Er.. do they make presents for each other? Because I'm bad with gifts. Shit, fuck, someone shoot me. Umm.. *wails!!!* We're not bloody married! Okay, I dunno why I said that. Of course we're not, doh. *Looks around room for something, anything*. *Bad idea, there's only my bed (NO =.=), my clean.. umm.. 'garments' (NO), irrelevant stuff on my table*.

HELP!! Someone counsel this inexperienced person... :( Do people treat one month's like Valentine's??!

Tonight's been a weird night...

It calls for that Vodka Cruiser in my cupboard. I don't give a shit that it's not cold.

Kthxbai.

My internet's been capped and I'm pissed off. But anyway, I got a new phone today! WOOT!!

Say hello to my Nokia 6111. Black, because I had no choice, but oh fucking well. :D Sure beats my old Nokia 3200, but I have to say that was a reliable phone. I mean, heck, it's still in one piece after me abusing it for 2 years. HAH!

I had the best hot chocolate last night at La Dolce Vita cafe. The stuff you normally get from supermarkets are drinking chocolate but this ought to be classified as EATING chocolate cause it's exactly that. You can't pick the cup up to gulp it down, you gotta spoon it into your mouth! Italian hot chocolate, yum.



Sorry, I had half before I realised I hadn't taken a picture of it, hehe..

Moving along now, I have updated the drinking log (again) because there was a party at Ali's house on Friday night and I played bartender. Trust me, I'm not the best person to do it, but it was an easy task, since we didn't exactly have a bar full of drinks and there's only so much that would go together. There was Absolut Mandrin, Galliano Sambuca, Bundaberg Rum, Kilkenny's and Father O'Leary's, with a whole bunch of soft drink, lemon and milk around. I stole the fruit juice from the fridge too.

Piece of cake, guys. I'm sure if you just read the bottles, did a little bit of tasting, you'd figure it out.

If you're not the sort to guzzle down a whole bottle of vodka, well, that's not what I meant by tasting, duh. Less than half a shot is enough for your tastebuds to work it and decide what would go well together, unless your intention is to get drunk lah. Absolut Mandrin has a really strong taste that leaves the fruity flavour tingling a little, so obviously fruit = fruit. Mix it with lemonade or fruit juice. A little lemon juice would go well too. You don't need half the glass filled with vodka to taste it, okay?

Galliano Sambuca tastes like liquorice. There's no way to describe it, so you gotta taste it yourself. I can tell you that it's sweet. I didn't like the idea of liquorice + lemonade, so liquorice with coke (not the drug, you fool). A slice of lemon might have been okay? Sambuca's pretty good by itself; quite a few of them last night were just content with having the shots.

Rum and Cola. The easiest mix ever. Anyone can do it blindfolded.

Kilkenny's was the coffee and chocolate. Sounds yummy? Mix it with milk. A bit like mocha, infused with alcohol, of course. Maybe reminiscent of Kahlua. Father O'Leary's is butterscoth and cream. For a Cowboy, mix Kilkenny's with Father O'Leary's in a shotglass. Alternatively, Kilkenny's + Father O'Leary's + milk = you have a Mudshake, but probably a little stronger. Depends on whether you decide on a shot each or a mixture of both in one shotglass. Or however much rocks your boat.

Crown Lager, Australia's best, tasted alright to me. Well, I'm not the biggest beer fan. I'd still love to try Hoegaarden and Stella Artois, but I think that's gonna have to wait till November.



Till next time, happy mixing, lovelies. ;)

I went with THE boy* to catch V for Vendetta last Sunday and it was amazing. I love movies where people unite. Like.. Musketeers. Actually, swords are a big love too. There's something so undoubtedly cool about them. Think Zorro. One of my favourite movies. I don't care that the storyline's cliche; I can honestly watch that movie over and over again. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it, actually.

Sorry, I digressed.

V for Vendetta stars Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix) and Natalie Portman (Star Wars, Closer). Hugo Weaving has such a distinct voice. It doesn't matter that I didn't know he was in it before I stepped into the cinema, or that you don't ever see his face throughout the movie, the voice is a giveaway. As for Natalie Portman... well, everyone knew she cut her hair for this movie. How does someone have such short hair yet be so... feminine anyway? I wanna know!

V is a man wronged, and out for revenge, as well as justice. The government is in control of anything and everything and the people who defy it don't have happy endings. V sets out to make everyone realise that they are giving in to a government that needs to be overthrown, starting with Natalie Portman's character, Evey. Due to her past, Evey tried to become a nobody that minds her own business but obviously gets thrown into the midst of it all (doh). She finds the courage in herself that she never knew existed to join V.

The most memorable line in the movie: 'The people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of its people'

Something along those lines. :)

Anyway, this movie gets 8/10 stars.

Today, I finally caught 'Match Point' with Dom. Brian Cox (no idea), Matthew Goode  (Chasing Liberty, Imagine Me & You) and Scarlett Johansson (need you ask? :P). To summarise the movie, 'it's a slightly twisted, erotic, whatcha-gonna-do drama that sets out to describe the difference between love and naked lust'. Well, actually, I could be wrong about the love part; I hardly saw it throughout the movie. Watch it and put it in your own words.

I found no romance, which was what I initially thought it'd be full of. Well, it had enough sex, lol. Mostly, it made me go OMG or WTF. But don't let that put you off. I think the beginning part of the movie and the way they incorporated the opera music was ingenious. Dom thought it was a little reminiscent of Closer, and I agree with her. This movie ought to make more Scarlett Johansson fans worldwide, considering that woman might as well have 'sexy' plastered all over her forehead. Yes, I'm envious.

6 3/4/10 stars. Sorry, 6 1/2 doesn't do it justice, and 7's a bit too much. Tee-hee.

P/S: It's obvious I'm not a great movie reviewer, so if you want better, more comprehensive reviews, head over to Swifty's. I know he reviewed these two. Watch the slobber; I remember him absolutely drooling over Scarlett Johansson. ;)

I gave a hesitant 'um.. okay' reply after THE boy* detailed how he checked his phone ever so often for something, anything from me. He asked if I was weirded out, and I replied no, just that I had nothing to say.

What I really wanted to say was that... that it hit me. Really, really hit me.

He's the first. The first who feels more for me than I feel for him...

Kill me the day I say that it's over... Even if I'm the one who wants it, I'll make him say the words.

I don't think I could live with the guilt...
