after brunch at patisse, we all went to uni (which was the original point anyway)

i successfully did work for about 2.5 hours (marking T_T) before i bid the uni peeps farewell (i think it was jan, pickle and bel at this stage) and headed over to twin's place to watch him cook for many many people, just so i could bask in the presence of cherry and twin lol

cherry was like, "are you seriously going to just stare at us?" because i was supposed to leave just as dinner was starting. but then twin snuck me food so it was all good.

and then adam and bel were late picking me up so i actually got to eat food that wasn't snuck away for me :P i got to eat on a yoga ball because there weren't enough seats xD

highlight/lowlight here was probably being told that my head was so much smaller with my hair tied up.

then it was off to vivid (for the second time in as many days) with adam and bel and their friends. 

lots and lots of walking but i got to see all the exhibits i didn't catch the night before so that was awesome. 

one of the highlights was bumping into hui, jenny and david in the most random of places. 

but highlight-highlight was probably seeing A REAL LIFE NINJA. FORREALS.

not even lying.

in "celebration" of joecheung leaving for hongkong indefinitely
jin family people finally came over, after months of talking about it
we spent the afternoon grocery shopping before heading back to the house to make mini pizzas (gourmet, of course) and apple pie
then we sang karaoke and cut each other's hair over some beer, until 4am.
on reflection, maybe it wasn't the smartest move to cut hair while tipsy, there was a pretty harrowing moment when eric had the shears and basically shaved off most of the hair on the centre back of twin's hair. yeah, that was...hmmm....

will miss jo :(

Random Saturday

baked, baked, baked until the others arrived. 
then it was going through old studios for the lols.

recipes in the previous post.
the cupcakes came out a bit sweet, even though i cut the sugar by 25%
twin had a bit of fun spelling out swear words with reeses pieces -.-
the scones were pretty good though! for my first time and without a scone cutter xD

then we went grocery shopping until 3pm
bought back some beer and then trundled over to the bigger backyard for a fake picnic
those softies got too hot so we left after a little while...

 

lol at jo xDDDD

 

then we went back to the smaller backyard and thought we'd dunk our little feet in the pool cos it was such a hot day

turns out the pool water was completely frigid

yay for frostbite!

 

see the rainbow on the edges of the cloud? so weird!

 

cherry was so drunk. soooooooooo drunk.

twin cooked for us and it was awesome!
also took him like three hours, so we managed to sing quite a bit of karaoke before he was done =D

 

 

we ate dinner while watching LOTR:TTT (extended edition)
by the time i put the second disc in we were all completely knackered
so i kept drifting in and out of sleep and each time i woke up someone else was sleeping
hhahahah i keep drifting off to sleep each time i watch the extended cuts...so tired...

 awesome. awesome. awesome. day. <3

super super sad miss jenny lam couldn't make it :(

donna.

despite upcoming stress, i feel very fortunate these last couple of days

• hung out with my favourite jin people
• had a picnic lunch at uni with miss jenny lam
• met up with high school friends and ate heart-stopping cupcakes on the wharf
• chatted until the last bus was about to leave with cherry and vivian
• chatted and ate a lot with michelle and janice
• witnessed hui's adorable fail-ness over and over
• felt lots of love for my cute family <3

definitely looking forward to what this spring will bring :D :D :D

YAY! got my film processed today

now i finally understand why people who shoot with film are always talking about that extra bit of excitement that comes with waiting for the photos to develop

there were a few dodgy ones but overall i was super stoked at how they turned out considering how dodge the diana mini looks 

most of the photos were taken on the day me and twin randomly decided to go to newcastle to eat burgers

please excuse the shoddy angle they're at, had to take photos of the photos xD

time for a new scanner/ multifunction? :P

  

 

lol, stuffed up winding the film half way and ended up with these half shots
