Better late than never

Met up with my best friend last night, Feliciaa!! Thought it was 'bout time we caught up, and give her her extremely belated birthday present!! And in return, I got mine weee~ Should've waited til Christmas and hit two birds with one stone.

Anyways, we had a lovely Dinner with me, Rob and Fel at Fel's Parent's restaurant, Cafe Somerville (Winthrop Court, Shop 1/ 143 Somerville Blvd). With dishes such as SQUID TENTACLES (must-have), black pepper beef, honey mongolian lamb and kailan mixed vegies!!

I absolutely love my presents; foreverfriends bear (at the top), nail kit with gems and new pair or earrings!!!

Earrings !! Never too many!

Nail kit

It comes that time of year... where exams are closing in on us, and assignments and tests are on the mission to hunt you down. Hence, prepare to see a whole lot more blog entries, due to my high motivational proficiency to study!!

Look at my nail art!!

Tastes like snow and melts in your mouth

Ipod Touch & accessories

ipod touch - absolutely in love with it!

I must say I haven't played around with the old one but I love all the functions that come along with the new ipod touch. There are a lot of free games that can be downloaded from itunes and some of my favourites are;

Tap tap - Kinda like guitar hero with your fingers
Dactyl - Follow the bomb
iPint - tilt the ipod to get the beer into the hands
Sudoku - self explainatory
ibowl - bowling
igolf - golfing
space monkey - this is definetly one of the better free games, you have to turn this monkey around to collect items and it gets hard, with batteries you have to avoid etc... haven't finished it just yet
Vegas Pool - game of pool

Some of the applications ---

facebook
youtube
ebay
stanza - ebook type applic
calc, calender, clock, weather, etc

The podcasts videos are really good such as bestyoutube videos, best tv ads, etc

The ipod touch can keep you entertained for hours!

Back of my ipod - laser engraving



Bought the old ipod touch cover, the older ipod touch version is thicker than the new however it still fits, just not as snugly as it should... there's aren't many selections for the new covers, there's like a black and white covers available at myers.

There's my ipod touch with the old ipod touch cover :)
There's some pretty cool ipod gadgets available on dealextreme.com. These cute little cable wraps are only US$2.91, free shipping.





Here's my little fella, also came with a green guy but robbie is using it!




Fake ipod socks! Even has a little apple with a bite and everything ( the bite looks fake ). Also available on dealextreme for US$4.30, free shipping.

Just waiting on my pink earphones that hasn't come yet.

Catch me if you can

I used to bake stuff back in the days; cakes, bikkies, quiche, pies. Also made stuff when I was working at Jessica's Cafe back on the island and I used to make little gingerbread men and decorate em' and all the little kids would buy them. I've been looking everywhere for the gingerbread men cutters but I can never find one, or a decent one but I found this bakemix that came with a gingerbread men cutter!! So I decided to make em' and this is a picture of some half eaten because I decided to take a picture last minute! Doesn't taste as good as the ones made from scratch though. Have to find the recipe again!

Club Rad Masquerade Rivercruise

So finally got to use my mask and dress I bought from ebay :D! Had the rivercruise on Saturday night for Medical Imaging Students from Curtin :) It was pretty eventful...
Had Khaled over for the weekend from Melbourne, so me rob and khaled started getting ready quite early around 4pm but still had to rush in the last minute to get ready (Kept going back to Robbie’s for several things; masks, tickets, shoes) Left around 6:20, got to CPP parking at convention centre around 6:50pm…Basically half walked-ran It was meant to leave at 7pm sharp and we got there like 2 mins to 7pm freaking out! but it didn't leave til like half past or something. It was unlimited booze so you know what happens... There was a chick that hooked up with 3 guys that night and girl on girl action and I fainted! I was in the toilet and I got really dizzy so I was like ...shitt.. better get outta here, and I started blacking out so I was feeling around where I was going, felt the seats and just collasped onto it. Not sure how long I passed out for but my friend was trying to wake me up. Btw, it wasn't the alcohol, not sure what it was.. might be motion sickness or something O.o Some girl threw up on my jacket which was on the table... so i had like no jacket for the rest of the night, froze my balls off and caught a cold. Lovely. Heaps of piccies on facebook :)

Mid Autumn Festival in Gero

Also known by many other names such as Moon festival, Mooncake festival, Lantern festival is a chinese celebration that falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month on the Chinese calender which equates to... TODAY!! :D It's about moon worshipping, mooncake eating, lantern carrying and dragon dances! Because I couldn't get my hands on any pretty looking lanterns... I decided to make one.. and draw ugly flowers on it and look at the biggest, brightest moon of the year! Couldnt find any candles and even if I did have any, it wouldnt have balanced anywhere so I had a little torch shined up into my lantern, weeeeee~

Happy Moon Festival day!! :D

Masquerade prep

So i have this rivercruise/ball coming up for my course...although it's not until October...but i'm all excited and decided to go shopping on ebay...and you know how that is like.. ."I'll just look..."

..and you end up buying all of ebay!

I'm really into the colour turquoise/teal at the moment so I was going for that kinda theme! I bought the peacock feathered mask and a similar colour dress to go with it! Can't wait til it arrives, cept I'm still stuck in geraldton for the next two weeks and a bit so it'll arrive before I head back to Perth, damnit!

I got rob into it as well.. and we decided to get him a jester's mask which looks really good!

Stuck in Gero

Been in gero for a week. The nurses quarters is alright, nothing special, get your own rooms but shared bathroom (but theres like 5 in a row) and kitchen and a common room with the tv. It takes me like 1min to get to work so I can get up pretty late if i wanted to! There's an iGA like 5mins away and the central town is like a good 15 minutes away.

Today me and Tina went to the shops and i bought lotsa $2 crap just because I was bored. Ate at this japanese restaurant called O'ba san (which means grandmother) and it's super delicious! wish they had it in Perth! I had my Kara-chicken Udon noodles! yumm! There's a beach like further away but we went for a walk on the first day when robbie was here. mm.. didn't bring my camera cable so no piccies! Stocked up on 2min noodles yay!

Went to the Agricultural show today, free entry..it's like a very very mini version of the royal show. There's like a couple of rides, lotsa soft toys and show bags as well! I bought a Sherbet Fizz one :) and tried my luck to win one them big toys cause everyone seemed to have one, but failed miserably :<

On a total different note, how cute are these!

Penis cake!!

Chucked a surprise BBQ for Robbie but his friends' had a surprise for him as well!

Happy 21st Birthday RObbie !!!

Immunity

Today I got three shots.. and my arms are sore :<. Hep B, MMR & FLU ..

Fitness review

Nil.

Since I've cancelled my membership at the gym. *sigh*

Robbie bought me a surprise bike last month! I was really excited, it's blue my favourite colour! He also bought a pink helmet and a BASKET for it!!! I LOVE IT! It's so perfect!! he also bought a bike for himself and his little sister! :D (little pink bike with pink basket is moni's)


Really should get into the habit of riding more often, just that it was really cold the last month and I was travelling around.

I also bought a trampoline on Saturday.. I was looking at Rebel sports for one, cept they ran out but they said it's usually $80! Anyhoos, I found one at Kmart for $40 dollars and I thought WOO BARGAIN and then I paid for it and it only costed me $24.99 which is AWESOME!
It was such a BITCH to build!!! what you do is you have the two semi-circle frames and u need to align them up and flip it open (easier said than done, trust me). It advises that three people are needed for the job, cept me and robbie made it by ourselves :) !! U step on one side and try and open it up, if it comes out of alignment, it snaps outta place and u gotta start again. Real bitch!

Ended up buying a yoga mat...but have not got round to using it. Comes with a DVD and book! one day....I'll start.. keke

Customised THONGS

Also, googled up customised havi's and found this site that sells heaps of variety of havi's: here

Christian the lion :D

Watch this, what a lovely story :)

GO3 Electronic & Entertainment Expo

Me at the gaming expo

This year the GO3 expo was free to get in!! So me and Robbie decided to go check it out! It had heaps of computers and accessories, arcade games, shock shooting, COD lanning and a games trader shop. I don't know anything about computers, so it was just mainly pretty with the lights and stuff. I really liked the gaming racing seats with the steering wheel, pedals and gear thing.


Anyhoos, there wasn't really anything i wanted to buy, but i did end up getting... YOSHI SLIPPERS LIKE HELL YEAHHH!!!!! HOW DAMN CUTE ARE THEY!??? It's like you're squishing Yoshi to death everytime you walk! haha..

Pile-up of yoshi slippers :)

Lazy me

Arghhh .. so it's been almost 2 weeks since I've come back from my Europe trip and I haven't posted any entries up but i will do when i get back to Perth. Right now escaping the winter on Christmas Island and catching up with the paros and friends. My camera doesn't wanna load onto the computer so no piccies!!

Short update:

London: I loved it, wouldn't mind living there. People are friendly, weather was reasonably pleasant while I was there. Great train system.

Paris: Lovely architecture, absolutely beautiful but disliked the bad traffic and some of the people were rude, having said that there were some helpful people as well. Yummy food :)

Enjoy the rest of the holidays while you still can, back to Uni on Monday! woo!~

My London/Paris Contiki Tour

Welcome to London!

Ahhh, been very very lazy and the only net we found was 5 euros for 15 mins which is like almost 9 AU bucks which really isn't worth it! This is going to be sooooooo long but It'll just be a little reminder of the trip for me so feel free not to read it :D! I don;t blame ya!

Day 0: Very Excited, bags packed ready to go!! Despite the gay cold i caught TODAY, so did some last minute shopping for some cold&flu tablets and cough lollies!! Our flight to Dubai was leaving at 10pm and Robbie had taken me and weiferz to the airport 2hours before for checking in. He got us both travel neck pillows which were absolute life savers !! for our 20 hour flight (including transit time haha)!! On the Emirates flight, it was delightful!! We got little bags packed with socks, mini tooth brush and paste and eye patches!! which came in handy!! Our first meal was Chicken Parmagiana!!! SO GOOD!!!

Day 1: It was an 11 hour flight to Dubai and it was pretty disappointing that we didn't get to stop there. Couldn't see much of the city and the airport was so large so no pretty views! Inside was pretty big though! Plenty of shops and relatively cheap! They work with Dirhams and US dollars so I had some US dollars on me! We ran around the shops before heading to our gate for another 6.5 hour trip to London! I thought there was an 8 hour difference with Perth but there was day light saving for Summer so it was only a 7 hour difference! Once we had arrived, we decided to catch a taxi to our hotel, not familiar with the area we thought it was the best option. They have really cute looking cabs in London, they all look the same.

Cab in London

OMG, it costed us an expensive 63 POUNDS ($AU134) however the taxi drivers are well trained in London and he was basically giving us a mini tour and we saw alot of the main areas as we headed towards Imperial Hotel where we were staying! The weather was around 20ish degrees and was nice and sunny!! Checked in at 2pm and were meant to meet up with the Contiki group at 6pm so we had some time to kill. Decided to walk around the area and visited a couple of souvenior shops and went to the British Museum which was just round the corner from the hotel. We returned to the hotel to get ready and meet up with the group!! So many Americans!! A few Australians and we caught the names of like 3 girls and had dinner at 7:30pm and talked to some Texan ladies. Our tour manager was an Australian!! Me and Weif were trying to work out his accent and didn't realise how familiar it was! We can pick out the American accents, the British accents and we realised when we don't know what it is, it's most likely Australian!! And our bus driver was a Kiwi!!

After dinner with the group we went to a nearby pub called the Porter House and it was rather quiet being a Monday night. Weifers bought me a drink and had an early night, went back to the hotel with these two girls from Florida, Kristie and Liz!!

Day 2: Got up real early, today's itinerary: Bath and Stone Henge!!! Had our free continental breakfast which consisted of Bacon, scrambled eggs. sausages and toast!! Very English! Yumm! We took a two hour trip to the Stonehenge, once we arrived the tour manager played the song 'ice ice baby' and said everytime that song plays you can remember the stonehenge!! We had a audio guided tour and heard some really interesting stories of the sarsen and blue stone rocks. Apparently the blue stones are from Wales and there's mysteries on how they got there and what they are for. The 'Druids' are like these sun worshipping people and we saw one with a white robe with his mobile phone! haha!

A Druid

Next stop! Roman Bath! The tour guide told us a story of how King Edgar had a son that contracted leprosy and was cut off from everyone so he went to the Bath area and met these little pigs which followed him. The poor pigs also contracted leprosy but as they rolled around in this mud which had a spring underneath they were cured so he was like "what de heck" and decided to roll around in the mud as well! He was also cured from the disease and went back to the Kingdom to claim his throne back! What a lovely story. So we went on the Roman Bath tour and we got to taste this spring water that is so-called 'good' for you. Weif said it stank like eggs but I hadn't gotten my sense of smell back yet, so it tasted like water to me!! We had some cornish pasties! from some side cafe and shopped on some of the side markets that were there. It was a 3 hour trip back to the hotel and we had a theme song called 'No rain' by Blindmelon which woke us up everytime it was played! (it was our wake up song)

For dinner, Weif and I went to Brunswick Shopping and ate at an Italian restaurant called Strada and had one of the best spaghetti ever! It was so damn nice! We had intentions of going to the Camden markets but the lady at the Underground told us it closed at 7pm so I'm pretty disappointed because I was told it was a good place so shop, so maybe another time!! All the shops were closing and me and weif didn't feel like going to the pub with the others so we randomly decided to visit Buckingham palace hoping we would see the Queen! We caught the tube to Green park and walked to Buckingham palace where we took some pictures and we wanted to see those fuzzy head guards but it was too late and they had already gone in!! We met two girls who asked us to take their pictures and they were from Italy and we're like "WOW" and they asked us and we said we're from Australia and she goes "That's way more good" HAH sif! Also met these other girls from Sydney that were on vacation. It was like 10pm and it was bright as, the sun didn't set til half past ten!

Day 3: Last day in London!!! Today we got up early to go site-seeing around London!! We saw the London Bridge & London Tower and Stu told us a story of how the Americans bought the London bridge thinking it was the London tower, haha, implying they were stupid which was pretty fun as most of the people were Americans. Also saw the Big Ben & Parliament house and the London Eye. The Westminister Abbey which is a church that Princess Diana & Prince Charles refused to get married in because it's too 'small' but it's friggen huge!!!! Also went past St. Paul's Cathedral and after all those places we were dropped off at Trafalgar square where me, weif and a couple of our newly made friends decided to go off to the Buckingham palace again to see the infamous changing of the guards!!! On the way there, we went past St James palace where WE FINALLY GOT TO TAKE PICS WITH THE FUZZY HEAD GUARDS!!! there were like heaps of people lining up to take pictures with them! haha...they couldn't move and i swear the two of them were trying not to smile/laugh and every once in awhile they would change their gun position whether you were in their way or not.

Fuzzy head guards!!

We finally got to Buckingham palace and it was SO DAMN PACKED!! Apparently it's like this everyday (or every second day?) Anyhoos I hardly could see anything the entire time!! A band came in and there were many horses and the fuzzy head guards marched in. Got to film a little bit of it, there were many people on others shoulders!! Next we decided to go see the Big Ben!!! We took lots of pictures with the Big ben and WestMinister Abbey right across it, then we walked and caught the tube to St John;s to see the place. Very delicate carvings, we went in but we weren't allowed to take pictures so we decided not to stay. After that we left our friends and decided to do some last minute souvenir shopping & ate at an Indian restaurant nearby. The Indian food in London is said to be great and it was delicious!!

At night we got ready for the West End Musical: Lord of the Rings. (Musicals are a big thing in London, it's like..going to watch a movie!) Never been to a musical before and did not have much of an expectation for it because it sounded a little bit boring but I like Lord of the rings so decided to go and it was amazingly fantastic! They had the best special effects! There was a bit where Bilbo disappeared and it looked awesome!! The Golem actor was great, there wasnt much singing. It was quite funny as well, overall a great production! Wouldn't mind watching another musical! It ended quite late (3 hours) and went back to the hotel and bedded as tomorrow we were going to PARIS!!

West End musical
