Best be fully awake if planning a trip for tomrrow
Problems start when you're not awake and you book tickets while been nagged at constantly by your mum, you find out tix cost $550 one way for just three people, you book it for 7am in the morning and it's already 12am and you've only had 1hour sleep in two days. You also book a flight home thinking about your boyfriend's birthday, confirm tickets for that night and realised you were suppose to go home the night before. therefore. stuck in Melbourne for another night. On the night you were suppose to go home, you dont tell your host family you were suppose to be at Avalon Airport and not Melbourne airport, so you miss your flight because Avalon is an $80 taxi trip and an hour away, the plane leaves in 30mins, therefore. stuck in Melbourne another night. It's late, Next flight is at 6am in the morning and you need to wake up at 4am to drive to Avalon in time. Your host family doesnt sleep until 12am, and you cant sleep until they can. It's cold, it's wet, it sucks. A one day trip to Melbourne turned into two nights of unpleasantness.
Trip to Melbourne two weeks ago...
In other news: I went to see Julius play drums today at his church today, after getting lost on the way there (I'm hopeless). I finally got to see what he has been going on about for so long. I expected something more..erm..I don't know, "believe in god, or be punished" sort of thing, but I experienced a fun, light hearted service. Everyone was laughing, friendly, natural, and there was rock music, heck yeah! I would totally go back any day, though I'm still a Buddhist and I dont really want to be "saved" as the group put it today when they were converted to Christianity. I'm still totally cool with what other's believe and I respect that and I know other respect me too. I had loads of fun, watching Julius play with the band, met his friends and leader and chowed down on some delish lamb curry. Ace.
In more news: I've got this bummer skin allergy every time I get in contact with raw shellfish, I can eat the stuff but I can't touch it. What the frick? Not cool at all, how am I suppose to work when I cant touch shellfish with my bare hands? It's embarrassing. The other night at work, I wore gloves just to cut a kilo of prawns and yet the water they were defrosting in, got into my gloves, and I spent the rest of the night with blotchy itchy red hands. Very unpleasant.
Must get back to my study/assignments, pulling yet another all-nighter, very unhealthy, but i'm very lazy, there is no other way that I will finish my assignments if I dont finish it in one go.

A kitchen so bad, it made me cry.
Its raining..in the middle of Spring...boo...
Upside, the bar did close early last night due to it, though it really poured down when I left the bar :( wet wet wet was the result.
Got to see Luke Nguyen cook at Cabra today!!! Though I'm really dissappointed with myself that I didnt raise my hand when he asked for volunteers, totally regret it. The whole time watching that blondie up there with Luke I kept wishing it was me :(. My sister was with me and she wanted me to go up too. oh oh!! He is so cool, there were a bunch of tiny kids running around the stage playing and laughing and growling at each other and he didnt do anything, he wasnt bothered, just smiled. He picked up one of the kids and held him over the pan playfully. So cute.
So Kristine and I got to talk to him, had our copies of "Songs of Sapa" signed and we also had a photo taken with him (will be posted up when I can get it off her).
Whilst enjoying her quail made by Red Latern's Sous chef.
Sister: Are Quails, ducks?
I've just gotten home from helping the temple with their new Vegetarian restaurant that's only been open for a week. I get that they're inexperience and all but ... oh my god!!! the kitchen, the state of it, I was crying. So bad. I definitely need to do something about it, I've already given them tips, I sounded like a pain the old behind. But they've worked so hard to get a restaurant going so they can raise funds to build a new temple, I dont want it going to waste just because they dont know how to organise themself and get huge fines from council. What a waste. Also I'm planning to make real ice cream for them to sell instead of them selling store bought crap.
I'm really proud of them though, They're doing so well, people love the food as do I. I had Veggie Duck Noodle soup today. Yummerz.

"it's So.... Chinese-y"
So apparently there was a fire in the building I was having class at today at 2.30pm. We all thought it was a drill and took our sweet time to get out of the building from the 5th floor. Er...yeah wasnt funny when we finally got outside the building and saw the fire brigade, damn.
What happened to meeting at the emergency gathering area in case of fire? The class just stood in front of the building, Kristine and I were the only two who walked all the way to the park.... bleh.
My chef (one of the best chef lecturers I've had so far and who really believes in me) from last trimester, caught Pipe and I kissing (like peck) today. Should have seen the huge grin on his face when he came up from behind us and said "hello children", man I was embarrassed. But he continued on to say "No, It couldnt have happen to a better bunch of people" He was really happy for us, but frick, I was so red. I'm not usually so open. ha!
I caught up with dear Annie today. I havnt seen her in a while (though we still keep in contact via the interwebs). I took her out for afternoon tea and ice cream and took some sticker photos up at capitol (like back in the day). We chatted on about what we've been up too, Annie asked me about Pipe, some talk about Twilight ("K-Stu"?? when on earth? LoL me no likey Twilight, but whatevs, people have their own opinions and fantasy and I have no right to judge). It was great catching up with her, she hasnt changed much, still talks the same (XP). She loves her new Vans that's for sure. I'm still full from this afternoon and we didnt even eat much. I enjoyed myself today. She also got to see to my workplace, my boss and the Thai cleaner who still has a major crush on me even after I told him I had a boyfriend...(It's sad, I dont want to hurt him..but I wish he would move on...)and she got to know the City a tad better.^^
