began the weekend in one of the most awesome ways possible: g-videoing, skyping and finally, tiny-chatting with one miss valerie rose hoi ting suen. the conversation originally began with just me and valerie (and briefly, my mum) and then cherry came on so we attempted skype. and failed. so i suggested tinychat and it took us about 15 minutes to figure out how everything worked. lol. but all the trouble was so worthwhile to see valerie's sweet smile :D.
feel free to read the conversation for some lols
+some love, cherry being weird, valerie poking out our eyes (because she's nice)
saturday.
originally a planned cherry day that later turned into a girl's night out, which then turned into a girl's day out. i was meant to meet cherry and her two church friends for coffee school. missed my bus by sleeping in, so i decided to drive after my parents suggested it. ended up 20 minutes late anyway, and had such anxiety going up the ramps at the cinema carparks. thankfully, i made it through.
the coffee course was run by the coffee gang, which actually consisted of one instructor named tony: he was funny, charismatic and completely enamoured by coffee. began at 10am and finished around 1. started off with a bit of interesting theory before learning about coffee shots, frothing milk and finally the different coffees. for most of the time, tony supervised us and gave us a hand until the last 20 minutes when we were just thrown into the deep end. got to choose about 3 coffees we wanted to make without supervision.
it was fun, and quite alright for $60. tony was a great instructor, lots of practical advice and laughs.
highlight of the course was probably playing roschart with everyone's coffee art. i saw a rat, a baby in a blanket, a sea shell and an ass (that was cherry's). hilarity! by the end of the course, we were all shaking from having consumed too much coffee and practically all rolled down the stairs.
and then because the two sisters, bonnie and cindy were so comfortable to be around we ended up all going to paddington together. we caught the 380 down oxford street and ate lunch at a small cafe right next to the paddington markets. had a lemon tea and steak sandwich. so good. then we strolled around paddington markets and some of the shops along paddington. i bought a few basic singlets and tops from dotti and a lovely pocket watch from a stalling in paddington hall. it was a super nice day to be out for a stroll. one of those spring days you think about when you think about why you like spring. :)
we continued along oxford street and somehow ended up all the way back near the cbd, our little feet killing us. we sat and chatted for a while, on some steps, before an alcoholic dude just kind of laid down at our feet. we all looked at each other and did absolutely nothing. we watched other people walk by, doing absolutely nothing. he got up after a little while and then we left. one of those small moments that make you feel uncomfortable about society and our psychology.
around 5pm we went our separate ways and me and cherry just went to hyde park to lay in the grass and take pictures. so nice and tranquil.
karen met up with us at 5:40pm and we made our way to kings cross. at this point, me and cherry weren't feeling our legs anymore from all the walking we had done prior. got to the praque restaurant with 10 minutes to spare before everyone arrived at different times. thumbs up to janice and cherry for choosing the place. the food was pretty good and not too pricey - i think i liked the schnitzel, the soggy bread and the mash the most. it was also great to catch up with the crew because there's such a familiarity there, and i don't have to pretend i'm some mature, polite adult :x. great to see so much laughter over nothing (lol).
i think we must have left around 10:30. cherry, karen, janice and i walked back towards the city. another nice breezy stroll with some lols. got home at like 12 after dropping janice and karen off. had an awesome sleep.
sunday
got woken up to do chores before going over to towers for thai and max brenner with mum and her friend. walked around and did a bit of grocery shopping before coming home and processing photos.
and that's basically all i did that today.
high-five!
