‘oh, boy’ is what comes to mind when I take a step back and look at where I’m at right now. It’s one of those times when you feel like you have control over everything, but you don’t really have control over anything at all. I think this is just me trying to console myself. It’s okay if nothing I write makes any sense.
I’ve been trying to be better at time management, and I guess I’m not managing very well seeing as I’ve completely cut out time to post daily. It’s just become one of those ‘once a fortnight explosions’ now, and with that said, be prepared for a lot of pictures in the future.
The past week has been a load of condensed information slapping me in the face. I had no breathers. And it all started with Trang’s birthday!
Trang organised a small get together with her cousins, Andrew and I. We had lunch at Meant & Wine Co., a little on the expensive side but their food was impeccable. Andrew ordered this sexy kangaroo fillet dish (and none of us had tried kangaroo before), and we all agreed to describe it as ‘sex in your mouth’. It was just really good!
It was also Trang’s 18th, so she had her first taste of alcohol! Look at us, trying to be classy and all.
With Trang’s fabulous cousin, Lisa.
For dessert, we shared a creme brulee and chocolate fondant with vanilla bean ice cream. Needless to say, that was also a party in our mouths.
With Andrew. I see this guy way too much. In fact we’re meeting (with Trang) on Tuesday to watch The Hunger Games. Never mind his face, he was a little off since he drank some alcohol.
Group photo! Lisa, Andrew, me, Thuy and Trang. We asked a stranger to help us take the photo, so…we forgot to place Trang in the middle. I vow to photoshop her face onto my body though, so the order may be restored!
Just the girls!
And just yesterday, it was my father’s birthday! Hurray. And that is a mango cake we had ordered for him. :)
Mother cooked up a giant feast, with a giant scary ass lobster. This was before…it became our meal. It was just so fucking huge. It was about 3KG, I think. When it started flailing and flapping, I was just freaked out.
Sometime last year, a few readers of my blog asked me “where’s your father?” “why don’t you take pictures with your father?”. I didn’t even realise that I didn’t post pictures with my dad on my blog until people pointed it out. So I guess here’s the long awaited Papa Lai.
Father looking highly amused. Anyway, my dad isn’t the type to self-cam with his daughter. I mean, is yours?!
Met up with Nina on Friday to do a major brainstorm and try to keep sane from the overwhelming load of information we’ve had over the week. Eating sticky date pudding (which was sickeningly sweet) to keep sane. And look! It’s Nina’s arm in the corner. Hohoho.
Scribbling in class because all I just think about Rocket…a lot. We’re really trying to make Rocketboxx a better U-KISS fan community this year, so please watch out for the changes! We have lots of new exciting things planned out and some of them are already taking action (if you’ve been following our Twitter/forum projects).
Talking about Rocket, we’ve been planning to do something special for Alexander when he trots down under. Rewind back a little, say what!? Alexander is coming to Sydney. I was already mind blown when I heard Isak was coming. It’s still a little hard to swallow the reality that I will be able to see Alexander in the near future, and I can count down the days to prove it. Perhaps I just sound dramatic, or I just have fucking huge reactions to everything. But I never thought in my life, EVER, that I’d be able to see Alexander in the flesh. (And I firmly believe that I will never be able to see U-KISS irl either, I’ve come to an understanding with that already) Generally, I think I’m a positive person. But seeing Alexander was just one of the very few things I had little hope for. But it’s really going to happen. IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AND I LOVE IT. Even if I don’t get to shake his hand or say hi personally, it would just be bliss to see him perform and see with my very own eyes why he is special. And I swear in my head, that sounded more poetic, meaningful, etc…but it seems to just come off as cheesy. Oh well.
I finished reading The Time Traveller’s Wife last week and it was pretty good. I think I prefer the book’s ending to the movie’s ending. Very good, easy read. I’m onto A Game of Thrones, and I haven’t started yet (you may remember that I tried to read it last year) and I’m just mentally preparing myself because it’s a really dense book.
Yesterday I finished watching The Moon That Embraces The Sun and I was just crying and my mum was crying and the characters were crying. It was so sad. :( Never again shall we attempt to watch something that features so much death, tragedy, etc. But it was good. I wasn’t entirely invested into the characters but I really did love some of them such as Woon and Prince Yang Myung. I’m on the third episode of Operation Proposal and I’m really liking it so far! I’m also downloading the new dramas Rooftop Prince, King 2 Hearts and Fashion King. Hoping they’ll be good.
And now it’s finally time to get back to my fluffy essay. I hope my brain can survive this!
