food, food, brothel?

Fail dinner last night.

went to the restaurant and realised we forgot to book before we came... i forgot just how popular it was.

Drove around for ages thinking of where to eat.

Theres this Brazillian place in Bondi called Copacabana but that place was closed.

So we resorted to the Noble Court Chinese Restaurant in Bondi.

It sucked cos the first time i ever dressed up a little for dinner with family, turned out to be a wreck. (I even dressed to suit the dim light spanish restaurant theme, and ended up eating at a bright lit restaurant with nice white table cloths and gentle quiet music -0-)

Whilst we were walking to the Spanish, my mother saw this cute little cosy house thing with some sign on it. She said "I wonder what kind of food they sell here..." and started walking up to the door. I grabbed her quickly and told her that "restaurant" didnt sell food and that it was a brothel. My mother was quite shocked. hahahah (before you judge me, i only knew it was a brothel cos someone told me when we walked past it last time!)

For brunch today, we dipped outside cos downstairs at the bondi markets is some global festival thing going on with multicultural food, music and dances. Ate some Turkish, Lebanese and Spanish (turns out dad really wanted to try spanish last night haha)

this bulk of a blog that came word vomitting out.

So it turns out that uni seems to shoot at us a never ending chain of exams that never ends. yes i didnt have to write the last bit of that sentence but i did to accentuate the never never ending long chain on exams we get. 

Sat my final midsem exam -- physiology, and found out we have another prac exam next week for biochemistry. The week after that, we have another quiz exam for biochem yet again.
this just never ends...


I walked into my new room today, or at least what's been made of it. Its pretty much a big slab of smoothed concrete with a pipe sticking out for the toilet. Its pretty cool, they've put the bricks up around the sides on the first floor and built the stairs and upper level too. we're just waiting on the bricks to rise up on the second floor and the rest of the house to be built. exciting.
from my rent's veranda, you can even see the "UNSW" sign on the uni library. 


since i'll be living so close to uni soon, i'm thinking of riding a bike to uni everyday, to build up those dream thighs every girl wishes for, and just because bikes are cool 8)
i really would like to ride/own a scooter/motor bike. i think where i live has a heavy responsibility for this influence which made me realise where you live, really DOES mould you in one way or another, even without you realising it.


also, i've been looking around those korean websites for those emo boots that they sell at wanted. I've really been wanting a pair since sometime mid/late last year but just never found a shop that sold em. 
Turns out this small shop in bondi just outside sells a cool pvc/shiny pair in mauve, black or red for $200. 
Still can't find the perfect pair of boots however. Still looking. 


Our family is going out for spanish tonight. We havent had a family dinner in so long, and its quite rare seeing as we're all so busy at such different times. Should be fun. Did you know Churro's and sangria originated from Spain?


I also just got an email from uni and looks like for my elective next year, theres this cool one about learning about the 'land' in broken hill for 2 weeks and creating a creative project for 6 weeks, and its run by COFA. Its running during the july holidays which would be perfect and costs $500 because of accommodation, transport etc to and from broken hill. Thinking of taking this up after some discussion with rents. Should be interesting.


I dont know whether Peter still reads my blogs but HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PETER!

EXACTLY me

I've found something that totally reflects my past couple of weeks (minus that exam period week)

The Book of Eli

its been a hectic week or two, filled with midsems and such.
absolutely ruined them all which is none but my fault considering I hadn't studied all semester, and so intelligently, decided to cram 5 weeks of uni for 4 different subjects into one week.
didn't quite work as well as i had hoped.


I watched "The Book of Eli" at the movies yesterday with Aaron. It was a really spontaneous decision cos we were going to grab a bite and go home, but ended up watching a movie instead. 
We went in knowing absolutely nothing about it, and came out wow-ed. It was awesome. Unpredictable, with a slight twist to it. Touching, and encouraging on so many levels. Especially for my faith and the physical drive to study, for my future to name a few.


Theres this korean 21 year old boy in my course, and I just learnt that his korean name is EXACTLY THE SAME (except for one letter) as my name. 
My korean name is lee min joo 이민주 and his is lee min jun 이민준. spelt in korean it only differs by one small character which i thought was really trippy!


A 4 year old baby, her 11 year old sister and her family came over for dinner yesterday. Say hello to the cutest korean baby alive. How mesmerising her huge big black eyes were...wow

 this is her winking at me haha              .

rarara

hair is now a changed colour. got it dyed from this 'school of hair dressers' on tuesday.

it was supposed to be 'ash brown' - a light browny grey colour..

but i didnt want to use bleach so it turn out.... ORANGE -0-

disgustingly ridiculously ugly orange T.T

now thinking of getting white/grey highlights that will make my hair look 'grey brown' not orange..

the hairdresser was quite cool 8) heres a pic (no i didnt pose.. just a natural shot.. :P)

yesterday i realised my seriously crazy lip healing lip balm was expired by a month... so i decided to clean it out to use the case as a lotion container for camps and things like that.. 

I stirred it up with used post its and drew a lovely artistic 'BALM tree' get it, hahaha not palm, but balm cos its lip balm :P

after finishing, i noticed the container had a crack....

waste of time. ehh
