saturday 11/03/2006met up with aloysius n claire for a shopping trip at smith st... haven't been there for ages.. but the things there are still pretty cheap.. haha.. spent abt $50 on 3 t-shirts... actually the main purpose of this trip was cos aloysius wanted to get
cheap t-shirts... haha.. but.. he has such an expensive taste... tt's y he ended up buying the not-so-cheap t-shirts... there were quite many pple at smith st tt day... met rachel ang there.. n only found out tt xianning was there when talking to her tt night... so... we headed back to town for a late lunch at chilli cafe... a thai restaurant... wasn't too bad... but don't think i'll go back there again since i'm not a fan of thai food.. haha.. just when we were about to start another round of shopping around the collins area... got a call frm berenice! yeapyeap... hehe.. so of course i "abandoned" the 2 of them n went to meet her at my place... hehe... i wasn't being mean... but... well... apparently some things worked out i guess... haha... *secret* ... okok.. back to berenice... my bestest best friend i can say... always there for me rite? hehe.. was quite excited that she was coming to melb actually... had time to chill out with her... but of course... spending time with her fam is more impt.. i understand tt... =) but well... i promised her to bake banana cake for her .. n so i did.. tt very night... there was one pt of time when my whole apt was just so crowded! haha.. there's me, wingyan,her bro, berenice, n her bro, n aloysius! tt's like 6 of us here... but i thought it was really fun to have so many pple over.. haha... so... i needed bananas to bake the cake rite? went to safeway with aloysius after everyone has dispersed frm my place.. thinking tt i'm all ready to start... only to realise tt i forgot the most impt thing... BUTTER! hehe.. now i gotta thnk aloysius for running down to the convenience store across the st to get it for me... haha.. will put up pictures of the end product soon.... =p
monday 13/03/2006it's labour day! supposedly a public holiday.. but i haf no clue y uni of melb does not haf a day off today..hmmph! n so everyone has to go to sch while the others are having fun some where... but well... i only had 1 class for the day 8am-9am... so shldn't complain tt much rite... there was this moomba pararde going on at swanston st ... peeped a little ... nth fantastic abt it... it's just sth like chingay but not as a big event as it... n then met up with bern for shopping... last min shopping b4 she goes back to adelaide... haha... if only she stays in melb.. i think tt'll be fun ya? *bleah*
tuesday 14/03/2006invited xianning over for dinner... hope my cooking hasn't poisoned her or sth... she's so lame tt i just can't describe her... haha... she n jiehui seems like 2 of a kind to me... the way they talk also so similar... btw... i tried to bake japanese cheesecake... but... it kinda failed...because.. i added too much lemon juice! it tasted like lemon cheesecake instead... *paiseh*... it was kinda flat but tt's because my baking tin was too big... don't think i'll want to experiment on it again... haha... everyone says tt jap cheesecake is difficult to bake... n now... i understand y!..
wednesday 15/03/2006opening ceremony of the commonwealth games....
wasn't very excited abt it until jeanette kinda "forced" me to go to federation sq.. i kinda got more pple to come along... n everyone gathered at my place.. haha.. alicia, aloysius n claire... we were actually watching the live telecast on tv... n then we heard the fireworks... so we popped out heads out n saw the fireworks "popping" away... my apt has a very good view of it... hhaa..n we made us kinda reluctant to go to fed sq... but we still made it there in the end... it was crowded! pple of all nationalities (but i think it's mainly aussies n asians i guess) were gathered around there... watching the opening ceremony on the big screen... actually my main obj of gg there was to see the fireworks.. haha... n the fireworks at the end of the ceremony was the best! it was along the yarra river... it was just so pretty..! the sounds of fireworks just make me so high! n excited! haha...
thursday 16/03/2006highlights of the day: received a call from dad saying tt my mum is coming...
shocked? surprised? erm... well.. kinda expected it actually... haha... so being a good girl... i tried to rent a car frm either alicia or diana to go to the airport to pick my mum... but nice alicia offered to drive there... cos although i'm familiar with the route there, i have NEVER driven there before.. haha... thnks alicia!!! so... my mum will be here for X days... nobody knows wat X is... so ... when she decides to leave she'll just leave... haha... full house at my place! max occupany = 4....
friday 17/03/2006very very tiring day... walked throughout the whole melb city.. haha...
1. walked to vic mart in the morn n then back....
2. walked from biochemistry building to FCUK at lygon st... met my mum there.. then walked to mark's place for dinner.
3. walked from mark's place back home.
4. walked from home all the way to alexandra gardens n then back home.
i think i have never walked tt much in 1 day... haha...
anyways... wanted to go watch some shows at alexandra gardens.. but there was only some indian band playing... so we ended up sitting by the yarra river... partly cos we were tired lar..haha.. n when we were about to make our way home... we saw many pple gathering around the river... as if there was gonna be some show or sth... so.. being busybody... we stayed on to look... yeap... we were right.. there was this water show thing on those "fish" structures on the river... it was really pretty!... for those who r interested... this show is on everyday till end of commonwealth games... hourly from 8pm-11pm.
