Menya Mappen

i was going to be lazy and not blog
but then i remembered how awful backward blogging is so...i'm just going to blog
meh.

~finished testing for my pilot study
hip hip hooray
and got ethics clearance for another 50 participants, but i don't want to test anymore :(
because scoring is killing my soul!

yesterday...what happened yesterday?
oh! had another un-awkward bump in at bebetalio with my lecturer
we discussed our mutual bad memory for names and my birthday and the fact that people are born in the nineties and even the noughties! (incomprehensible!)

also met up with twin for dinner yesterday
and under miss jenny lam's awesome guidance, we went to menya mappen because i was craving tempura udon
it was pretty good and pretty cheap and kind of fun as well
basically, you order a base (udon, rice, soba, etc) and then you get to pick what tempura and what topping, etc you want on top

i'm on a diet, so i only got...

• large udon base - $4.90
• prawn tempura - $2.80
• 2 x sweet potato tempura - $1.60
• mushroom tempura - $0.80
• seaweed topping - $0.40
• 0.5 x vegetable tempura - twin's shout

worked out to be $10.40 or something like that
and i was sooooooooooooo full afterwards. (all because i'm greedy and didn't listen to miss jenny lam's warnings xD)
will definitely go again, even though there aren't many seats
the decor is super cute and reminds me of the ramen musuem in japan (that i've never been to xD)

been a couple of months since we'd talked one-on-one so it was nice to catch up
a lot of talk about growing up, and everyone leaving me and whether i'd cry, etc etc etc
(i said i wouldn't :P)
when we were done, i called mum and she had just driven past anzac bridge.
fail.

what happened today?

• i missed out michelle's fat arms
• almost fell asleep (re)learning intellectual property during the postgrad seminar
• got shouted a free sushi because joe wouldn't take my one dollah -.-
• had to jump bus because the bus i was on had faulty brakes
• had to walk home hk-speed because i overtook this dude walking up the hill, and it was awkward for about 5 seconds when we were both walking at the same speed (the dude actually looked behind him to see if i was stalking him as i revved up my feet!)
• and oh yeah! got a mousepad from janice!
