Week 9
So, week 9…
Well, nothing much happened this week. Had my Business Finance mid sem test..13 MCQs…wooohoo…easy..COS I STUDIED! Yeah..it was good:)
Oh, this week was Alex’s birthday. We celebrated on that Sunday…It was a surprise..as usual..haha…we love planning for surprises…Sam said she wanted a surprise for her 21st birthday too…then Bryan said..ok..we’ll give you a surprise by not celebrating! hahaa! Oh anyway, we had dimsum at the sharks fin house…good stuff…we ate till we could stand…ahh…i wanna go back again..once my pay slip arrives…haha…so after that, we gave him another surprise…when i went to get my mooncake..the others bought him a cake..the guys were standing outside of course..yeah..and i pretended that i bought tons of mooncakes..then we realised that we didn’t have a candle! So, we kinda lured alex to big W to do some “grocery” shopping while sam and bryan went to hunt for candles…that’s when i bought my fan…poor birthday boy had to carry…so, after that, we surprised him with the cake outside the state library…he didn’t see that coming..
Week 10
This week—>Sam’s 21st birthday!:)
Val and I went for Sam’s Cosdo’s sports day…we stupidly wore our FBTs..and freezed! The weather wasn’t that great..when we reached Albert park, it started to rain..on and off..Our team (Red Rooster) was 2nd runner up:) We played captains ball, frisbee, soccer…and some other mini games..oh…and we had bbq for lunch..didn’t know vegetables could be bbq-ed..
At night, we went for Mexican @ Toorak! Since it was her 21st birthday, we added some spice by blindfolding her all the way there..from her tram stop to the restaurant..haha..Val wrote “I am 21 today” (or something along those lines…haha! Everyone on the tram was kinda looking at us..haha! Oh, we also bought a cake from Brunetti’s..can’t remember the name..but it looked like chocolate balls piled up nicely like a tower..DELICIOUS! We could get her a huge cake in a shape of a key, so we bought her a key-shaped card instead..pretty…anyway, we were so hungry that we ordered nachos on top of our main course..the nachos kinda filled us up..so by the time our main course came, we were stuffed! But the food was great! I ordered some wrap with prawn..YUMMMMMM~
Week 11 & 12
VACATION WEEK!
Well, the first week wasn’t much of a vacation..had proj meetings plus i worked 3 full days..But on that Sunday, i went for a mini “road-trip” with some of the newmanians..Alvin, Saraj, Stella, Luwa (our driver) to Anglesea:) the beach was B-EAU-TI-FUL! We took heaps HEAPS of pictures..no kidding…lots of funny pictures too..haha!
On Tuesday, i went to Merel’s place..we cooked dinner:) Pad Thai (Pre-mix of course)..we had pancake and ice cream for dessert…UMMM~UMMM…
Wednesday, Cheryl and I went to Sovereign Hill:) We walked to Southern Cross to catch the v/line train..1 1/2 hr train ride..haha..and i fell asleep half way..Sovereign Hill was good stuff..mining..old houses..puffy dresses..delicious steak and mushroom pie..and not forgetting GOLD..I also bought a WANTED poster with my name printed on it..i figured i needed something cool to hang in my room..
Thursday, I went to watch WICKED! OOOOOOOOooooo…the best musical ever!!! (I’ve only watched 2..haha) What’s beyond fabulous? That would be the word…
Went to Kor kor’s place on Friday..baked the whole day..i really mean the whole day…I made scones and apple crumble cake..Funny thing was that he didn’t have an electric mixer nor any measuring scale..so the ingredients i added were all agar agar..but it turned out quite tasty actually:) But i came home with aching arms..
Sat- Singapore Day!
Day of queuing for food..the long queues reminds me of Singapore..ahaha..There was chicken rice, chicken wings, laska, mee siam, kaya toast, hokkien mee, char kuey tiao…etc. Ahh..Nostalgia..Oh..there were heaps of freebies too! (Kaya..maggie mee..charles and keith vouher..etc)
After that, we went to val’s and sam’s place for BBQ..SHIOK-A-DUK! It was nice seeing everyone again..i think there were like 20 over people?
Sunday…hmm…went to visit uncle chiok and aunty carol..she just gave birth to a baby girl-Janelle? So was so cute!!!!!! and small too…as usual little Joel was hyper-active..haha!
So, that was most of it..
