since i had a boring day
well it wasn't that boring for me
but it's boring to read
basically i hada really big breakfast at work (aka french toast with grilled banana, bacon, egg and maple syrup)
a breakfast so big i didn't eat lunch
and yeah, that was basically the most exciting thing about my day




but anyway, moving on
i'm kind of reluctant to fangirl on this blog since more people seem to know about it
(i don't know why that is)
filming started today and i can't not fangirl over these pictures so...
TOO BAD MATURE DONNA. YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS.


eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ why so cute? *jumps up and down*




donna.
lies.
more like, "let's proportionately increase the amount of food you consume as the days between thesis deadline and the present increase"

anyway, just as a quick recap:
friday began with a visit to the dentist and a large dent in my bank account.
apparently, i still have a baby tooth that hasn't come out yet
joy, when it falls out and no tooth is there to replace it
it certainly helps that it's in such a prominent position as well -.-
then it was off to towers for isaac's checkup and grocery shopping before returning home to bake
jesslau, jenny and HY arrived at castle hill around dinnertime
so after quickly showing off my splattered room, we ate tacos
messiest funnest food.
then it was asian karaoke time and jenny couldn't get over the karaoke machine. (hilarity!)

 
 

jess bought a whole storeful of cakes and jenny got my delices from lindt because she loves me very much <3



before we knew it, janice and anita had arrived
then it was karaoke until like...1am (mum joined us for awhile and it was LOOOOOOOOOL)
then it was UOW application time before pictionary
so many classic moments: jess's prawn cracker, left hand drawn hockey stick, jenny and HY's attempt at drawing "ugly", me and jess drawing different items, and many more
we slept around 3am -.-


the next day was 201 yum cha reunion at zilver

left for city around 11am and arrived at yum cha basically on time
anoushka, tab and janice went to zumbo's and brought back A LOT of macarons
i think we must have spent like...2-3 hours and $240 yumcha-ing
was pretty intense but great time chatting to the crew



then it was off to ~dessert at herbal jelly place
we got takeout since most of the people were full
we walked over in the rain and it was really cute watching everyone share umbrellas :P
then we invaded sussex centre's food court and all sat down and chatted about really random stuff
janice got a stupid idea to get people to sit down with people they didn't usually sit down with a chat
it didn't really take
except me and janice and jenny did pretty well, i think? hahahhaha





after we said our goodbyes, me and janice met up with vicki and jesslee at sushi tei for dinner
i ordered an unrolled sushi for dinner and it was so-so
not really enough sauce and the slices of sushi weren't really that good relatively to the normal cubed sashimi in sashimi don but still okay




then i don't know what was wrong with me that day but then we went to max brenner to chat
and i ordered a dark chocolate with crunchy waffle balls
and event after that i still finished the drink and could sitll eat -.-
sigh. diet time.
it was great catching up with jess and vicki (kind of spontaneously) and we talked about all random stuff like the us, and high school and it was lol-sy




dropped janice off home, and when i got home i found two dogs talking to mocha
when they saw me they super dodgedly tried to walk off while giving me death glares -.-
but later on, after i put food out for moc-dog, moc-dog full ignored me, i.e. literally "dogged" me
so i'm guessing the two dogs came back to discuss something important
i'm thinking politics or global warming but who knows?


today i ate like....the equilvalent of 4 macarons
and i had epic mpain on the way home from yumcha with mum and dad
they bicker so much but it's so cute fdakfj;sa
but anyway, epic mpain was so epic i basically died and puked again
sigh, let's hope the plane ride back from the US isn't that bad -.-



donna.
Today was the last day of my undergrad
my last day. LAST DAY!!!!!
still hasn't hit me yet, and it's 1:49am!

anyway, most relaxed can't-be-bothered studying ever
went to sleep at midnight; woke up at 10am
went to uni and studied with fellow elective mates
(more like talked about post-exam plans)
did the exam, stuffed it up by overstudying and not having a brain
oh well~ 35% of an elective
can't care

then it was off to glebe point road for san churros
nice walk with janice, linh, sarah, jenny and ambrose
got the chocolate tapas and fondue and hazelnut hotchocolate
someone remind me: DO NOT EVER ORDER CHOCOLATE AND THEN DRINK CHOCOLATE
what a waste, what a waste
awesome churros were awesome
for someone reason there was a lot of fork failure, as evidence by the brownie that drowned








then i went crazy for sangria
and made the people go all over sydney with me
ended up at en casa on pitt st and ordered fried potatos, barramundi & mojo :P and baby octupus
and of course red wine sangria
HIT THE SPOT.
my day was complete. my week was complete!
and once again my asian face completely failed at covering up the alcohol in the system
i am a bad influence since i added to janice's yearly alcoholic intake
but sangria! can not bring myself to regret!





then we met up with anita at three monkeys bar and the rest of the girls left
(except jenny, who we insisted on accompanying to chatime :P)
anita's powerful persuasion skills got janice to join us at home for thai food (on sussex st?)
once again, the pad see ew was awesomesauce, but the salad was soooooooo weird
like so weird. let's not ever order that ever again.




we decided to drop janice off at central
but as we past capitol theatre, the doors were closing for fame: the musical so we were like BYE JANICE
and just hopped in
$50 seats, and we were seated right in the middle, 4th row from the front
how awesome is that?
(got told off for photography, sweet smile and apologies)
the musical itself was pretty entertaining
i hesitate to say it was awesome/good because i still had alcohol in my system
but there were quite a few good numbers - songwise and dancewise and some appreciable laughs
my favourite performers included carmen, the long hair teacher and one of the ~fat girls
some really awesome voices
too bad the guys didn't really stand out to me
another bad thing about it, i guess, was the confusing and jumpy plotline, they had like...5 parallel storylines?
but yeah, quite a bit better than west side story but quite a bit below wicked; so i suggest if you can get your hands on some $50 tickets it a pretty good deal for a night of entertainment :)





donna.
what did i do yesterday?
oh yeah!
i dated myself: went and watched the social network
and it was good.
right now, i feel like it's already gotten to the stage of being overhyped
but i have a feeling it's one of those films that you gain more from on a second viewing
so let's not write it off yet (research time!)
was very pleasantly surprised by the witty dialogue and the humour, very well written and framed
and whoever scored it, thumbs up dude! especially, the opening scene mixed in with the sidewalk violinist
so awesome~
cinematography-wise, i think i set my expectations a bit high, aside from the rowing race with the tilt-shift and close ups, nothing really stood out for me
and oh~ andrew garfield, i'm going to crush on you alongside rob
which is totally ok since you guys are friends and unlike rob, you can actually consistently act :P
he's officially made me want to see never let me go. good job andrew!
i felt the most sympathetic towards his character, to the point i was almost in tears T.T
also, the main cast are quite cute in real life, and that of course helps the crush along :x

today was melbourne cup!
had dress up competition at work, that manager won with his waistcoat and tophat hahahaha
also, meant that we basically spent half the work day eating sushi and playing poker
times like these that make me love my company and loathe it for making me fat
happy and resolved sigh
i didn't win. or get last. so i couldn't even get my bet back :P
but we had heaps of fun. <3
makes me never want to leave~












also, isaac cooked us dinner <3 (kind of)
