C’s Birthday Dinner :) 6 December, 2008

Last night was my friend C’s birthday dinner at La Porchetta which was quite yum but I am definitely not a seafood-type person! Lol.. I got the Spaghetti Mariana and yup, not a big seafood fan~

It was out of that or the (classic and all-time favourite) Spaghetti Bolganaise.. but thought that would try something different and did, but not a big seafood fan *nod*

And had this Passionfruit-flavoured dessert but… the gelato tasted like nothing without the passionfruit-flavoured sauce.. I definitely do like the first and only other dessert I tried there, The Afterdinner Mint. Afterdinner Mint = yum!._<

The birthday dinner that my family and a family friend had for my brother was good too~ Although was a little sick of going out to dinner… we’d actually just gone to the same restaurant a couple of nights ago… definitely does get old and am craving home-cooked meals~

It’s December! 3 December, 2008

And it should be snowing?

Haha.. not in New Zealand!~ Woo! 25 days!! ^_^ Yay I can’t waaait!

Soo haven’t updated for a week since I watched Camp Rock last Friday.. that was quite a while ago…. nothing exciting is happening at the moment other than work and payday this Friday!

This past week has just been work and moving my stuff back to West Auckland….. my room is still a mess from all the bags of stuff that I packed up… I guess a photo insert here would be appropriate… maybe next entry.

And then I will leave you with the (actual) exciting events that are coming up in the next three months? (lol…)

• Friend’s Birthday Dinner and Clubbing
• Chinese Lantern Festival (its amazing how Albert Park is turned into this awesome array of displays and such. I love it.)
• FOB (and the chance/possibility to meet them….. hookups! n_n)
• The Veronicas/MetroStation (Veronicas = FINALLY! can’t wait….!!)

I actually still have to get tickets to the latter two but still excited~ hopefully they don’t sell out… this is all dependant on my pay on the 19th of this month… coz have to put in some money for rent for the last two weeks of Jan…. the woman that is going to be staying in my room is going to stay for only 7 weeks! Thought (wrongly, obviously) that she would be paying for the room even though she was going to be away….. well. Now it’s cleared up.. she wanted to also stay one night in the room before her flight… um. No. I think without even paying…..

But anyways. This was going to be a short entry..kind of still but yes. Just thought that I would update~

Sigh. Monday.. Again~ 13 October, 2008

It is Monday… again. It’s amazing how fast a week has gone by… it seems that it was just yesterday that it was the beginning of the second half of the second semester… and I just somewaht made it really complicated lol. Oh well.

Monday, Monday, Monday…. =_=

For some reason I have been feeling like tired all weekend after cleaning the bathroom (yes, I know, some people’s gotta clean their bathroom AND kitchen AND lounge etc) and my friend’s 21st.. Not sure why but hmm. /Shrug.

But yes… last Friday was my friend’s 21st and it was pretty good… had a little wine and a Corona before having to leave and look after a friend got sick after too many wines… gotta say that’s the shortest amount of time I’ve stayed at a party~ lol. It wasn’t that bad though, good that she got over most of the throwing up and didn’t have to watch it… coz if that happened, I think I would have been throwing up also >_<

But yeah she was thankful and such… unlike other people I have had to help who was like pretty ungrateful and remembering back, didn’t even say thanks.. and I even got blamed by the father! =_= Oh well. Not friends with them anymore. So, yeah.

Met one of her my friend’s friends at the bar, lol. While I was waiting to get served and yeah, she was nice. Also talked to another of her friends which I met earlier this year/late last year (or almost like a year ago) at a defensive driving course in Mt Roskill area. Other than was just drinking my wine/Corona with family friends and two other friends who I knew.

But yes, I don’t think I will be returning there again in a hurry~ also took something that don’t think will be like ever returning heh.. >_<

The rest of the weekend…. didn’t do like anything other than clean bathroom and then like sleeping on and off and then not being able to sleep till 5 am! >.< Oops..? -_-

Should really study more… wow, I cannot believe that there is only like three. more. weeks of uni~ kinda scary.. well not really but to know that a year’s already over and… well…  guess a lot of achievement(s)… like that at the beginning of this year, didn’t know ANY Mandarin Chinese and yeah.. amazing what coming onto 8 months can do…. can string together like sentences and understand (kind of…) some basic conversation. Quite amazing… sort of…

But yes.. somewhat a lot to do before the end of semester… like creating a Chinese newsletter and like study.. yup, study.. ugh… ><

Sigh. I also hope, maybe even wish that my family and I wil be able to go overseas to China/HK! That would be really great and definitely the cherry on the top of the year~ it’d just make this year somewhat even more awesome and better.. not exactly sure what has made this year like great..

But yes.. till next time~

Clubbing, Shopping and No Study! SIGH~ 5 October, 2008

So I went out clubbing twice this weekend… and both nights were to the same clubs haha. Margaritas and Globe. I actually was thinking of doing something along the lines of a review lol of the clubs and then gone on to think how this blog has turned into a one-stop shop of my things like photography and music recommendations..

Atm am thinking of just posting my photography photographs here categorized under photography and as my Weekly thing of “Thursday Photographs” lol.. Though might get like confusing… but interesting and varied. Hmmm..

Anyways. No study this weekend! Just went out! T_T It was good though.. in a way lol.. the going out… >_>

Dropped by Cock & Bull in Newmarket to see a friend for her birthday. That was pretty cool. Haven’t seen them in like aages! Lol. Good ole Facebook for bringing people back together~ haha. But yeah, Cock & Bull was alright.. it kinda sucked to begin with when I got my first drink and the bar person thought that I wanted an OJ -__- I said it twice as well (I wanted Crusier Ice) and the second time she just thought that I just wanted it on the rocks…. =_= stupid loud music lol. The music was suprisingly good there. They played covered Shake It by Metrostation haha. Though I dunno if I will like return there in a hurry..  but it was an overall good experience~

Then went to Margarita’s and well… I don’t think its my scene.. I just didn’t feel or “blend” into the atmosphere.. Globe… haha.. Lara and I went to Globe leaving Sabrina with her friends. But yeah. In my personal opinion of Margarita’s… I just couldn’t get into it.. good music though! While waiting for Sabrina and Lara to get in, heard All I Ever Wanted being played downstairs. That is an awesome song! ^.^

Friday night was pretty much the same… I wanted to go to Margarita’s for a change of scenery and another reason and well, i didn’t enjoy it that  night either although Saturday was more pumping than Friday. And, heh, you needed a girl to get into Globe on Saturday.. and omg! The line was freaking long! T_T But went by somewhat fast.

Saturday night was also my first experience in um, losing a friend in the club! I also saw some other friends at Globe. This is an example of how small Auckland is~

And to finish off, can’t wait for Elaines 21st on Friday.. found out last week that we have a test that day! *sigh* Should have really studied this weekend for it… oh well.. Hardout this week? Maybe… and then I shall go dress shopping on Friday.. thinking Newmarket… check out 277 and the Supre there for dresses… hopefully cheap[er] ones haha.. I’m dreaming, yes, I know lol. But hey, one can dream right? If I don’t find a decently priced one in Newmarket will go and get this one at Glassons. (Photos of my dress shopping day on my LJ… email/comment for link )

Soo yes. My weekend… of window shopping, clubbing and no study ><

Edit// And if I go to Newmarket can check out that place that sells the PMT stuff? Hmmm…. (random thought lol)

Birthday! 15 September, 2008

Saturday was awesome! ^^

As well as celebrating my birthday last Saturday, I bought a camera! >< I think I already mentioned this, but thought I mentioned it again!

I put off looking at my bank balance for as long as I can lol. And well it’s not that bad…. >_> and figured out it’ll take me about like a month or two, I think to get it down back to umm… non-negativeness >.< Hopefully it works and I don’t spend like lots….. -__-

So anwayy.. Saturday was awesome!

Started at Rakino’s and then migrated to Globe. Globe is great and there saw my sister and her friends celerbating another birthday. The night was really great. Saw like people that I haven’t seen in like AGES!! Like an old family friend when she found me on Facebook… life haha.

But yeah. Great night. I say this again, the people that came are the most important people in my life! Haha.. but yes, the people that bothered coming.. I’ll also give an exception to the people who txted me to say they can’t come coz of various reasons

But yes. Umm… I think one of the best nights of my life.

And, presents I got!! >< I love my friends for the presents! Thank youuu!! ^.^ And the drinks as well

Stuffed bear from Elaine and Jen; Gift vouchers from Cara and Lara; Sunflower gift set from Garron and Azmira; (Pink) Gift bag from Yeeping with snackies and such ^^; another (pink) gift back from Shruti – jewellery and earrings from Chloe and Jack!

Saturday was great. I don’t have the words to describe it! ^^

I think I am also overdue for a photo upload… argh, I can’t even remember lol.

Three people wished me happy birthday haha. Those are people that I don’t talk to often though… although apart from one, when I saw her, SC, lol… she was like, “oh, hi, happy birthday!” haha… was amusing~ I actually just saw her like two days ago.. I was going to say yesterday but that’s not right….. although it is somewhat coz I went to see her at like midnight! LOL. ><

But yes… celebrations tonight…. ^_^ I can’t wait.

Hope everybody has a great night and I need to schedule in a visit to Hamilton…. haven’t seen some of those people in like ages! Like, last semester… yeah… probably… last visit was in like first semester for my friend’s 21st.. hmmm… looong time ago! ><

But anyways. Will probably upload a photo or two from tonight next entry

Finally Getting Paid! 9 September, 2008

I am finally getting paid! I worked it out and am roughly going to be getting paid $425! OMG! :O It’s…. great! And my Overdraft is going to go down to about $400!!! It’s going to be great… now just the matter of not spending it on everything that my little heart desires! *sigh*

Going to try though! Coz hopefully at the end of the year, my family and I will be going to Hong Kong and China! I can’t wait even MORE for the end of this year! Although… I have to save up like around $1000 for the airfare….. =_= oh well. It will be like soo worth it! And my mum is going to pay for our spending money~ Here’s hoping that I will be able to save up that amount! Something else I also wouldn’t mind getting (and would prove that I am able to save) is a new pink digital camera… like a Sony or Fuji one… a slim one… ^^

But yeah… here’s hoping I am able to save up around $1000….

So, my weekend was good… lots of shopping! Went shopping again with my sister yesterday and also picked up a parcel~ spotted a real nice pair of shoes that I wanted and that I may wear out this coming Saturday for my birthday celebration thing…. I am like pretty excited also for my birthday celebration thing.. There’s going to be people coming in that I haven’t seen for aaages! So, yeah I’m quite looking forward to that.

Other than the birthday celebration thing that’s coming up, nothing else much is planned for this week… or the next for that matter other than work and maybe hopefully going out and spending time with friends… especially on my birthday! ^.^

Soo yes a pretty good day and hopefully continues to be a good week…. hope everything is going great in everyone’s worlds
