OK, i admit, i've not blogged in a while.... tsk tsk to me... well, i havent really had much *me* time lately infront of the comp.... so now i am!

i guess its a bit of a let down not blogging everyday like i use to.... i want to, but then its just a matter of time and doing it! i WANT to get a neeeew comp! possibly a lappy... but then i gotta wait.... build up some savings, then i'll decide.... coz my comp now is FREAKIN old and getting slow and slow and slow....

theres the new windows vista! SHEEESh if u ask me!

anyway, i will try to make this a visual experience, since i just took some RANDOM pics.... so i can delight you're optical senses, since i've always wanted to just add that little bit more to my entries.... and since i've so far been so slack too....

sorry bubs, must say this, i REALLY REALLY dont wanna use your digi!!!!! sooooli, its just that u have to hold it half way and takes TOOOOO long to figure out how to use it! im way tooooo comfortable with mine!!!

im going to T-R-Y to get more pics, and go camera crazy when i go out (that is when i remember my digi)

but yah, totally let down on saturday, my fault ENTIRELY! why? well, just yesterday, was our official anniversary dinner (although the actually anniversary date was like, two weeks ago) the dinner dinner was actually on the date that was yesterday, and we celebrated at the same place, good ol' C restaurant.

thing is, dunno if u guys know, coz i wouldnt have known if bubs didnt tell me, but yah, C had changed owners, and yah... its just slightly different, i think just management, but the food was great! SUPER full!!!! bubs is my rubbish bin! lol leftover eater! luv u!!! :D

anyway, when booking, u can only pic either the early sess or later, which is 6:30 or 8:30pm, so i suppose they can have another turnover (which we kinda roughly guestimate that they make ALOT of money in one night). yah, so no 7:30pm bookings which is SHIZER... but yahh.... AND when u called up, u must give credit card details, coz then if u cancel within 24hrs of the booking date, they will charge u $50 pp. to me, thats *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP* but then its securing their spot too.

but im thinking, its very rare that peeps would cancel, but does happen, so they want to make sure they make money for sure!

aiiih.... and one last thing, on weekends, they charge a 15% surcharge!!! and 3% on credit cards too!!! WAAAHHH liiiiaaaooo MAN, they really jack it up up up......... crazy.....

but then, the justification is, u dont go there often, aka on special occasions (unless if u are blardy rich person who can afford it) and the service is very good, food is delish and the view is soooooooooooo very very worth it!

yah, so sad, no photos!!! i even dolled up with this funky cooper st. dress i got that i've been wanting to wear!!!! aiii... and i wore the wedgies! heehee... luv those shoes....

i think we were really stuffed coz we had like two breads each (well i had one and a half) and well, it was filling and quite large.... hehehee.... yuuuuumo....

the food came out promptly, but then i think its also coz they want u out before 8:30 for the the next lot!

but yes, wasnt a disappointment for sure! ;)

soz no pics again :S

we wanted to go for a nice stroll at east perth, and i was kinda looking forward to it, coz i havent been before, only to park and go to the a restaurant place before with yen, but that was ages ago, anyway, yah, didnt manage to, coz no parking!!! there were some people there having a bbq.... ;p double doooohs but nvm...

we ended up going to one of bubs friends bday, and he's like family were there, as in relatives!!! soooo many kids running around, teenagers, and of course the *oldies* as well as the peeps like us.... the younger older peeps... hmm.... what classification is that...... not sure... anyway, he's filipino, so that explains the large family, and of course the friends as well! they had HEAPS of food too and dessert, but coz we already planned the dinner, we were stuffed on arrival!

and of course, they ended up playing poker! hehehe... i joined in, omg, i was the first to be out! DANG, well, im still learning! lucky for me, bubs had won at the end!!!
he actually wanted to leave coz it was getting late, so he just went alll in!!! haahaa, lucky for him, his cards came up!!!

*sigh* the week just goes WAY tooo fast!!!

this morning, had a dim sum *date* with some chickies.... it was at 10am, little did we know, the place opened at 10:30!!!!

since getting home late last night from bub's friends place, and to bed about 2ish i think.... it was HARD, repeat HARD, to get my butt outta bed!!!!! serious!!!!!!! i neeeeed my sleeeep ins maaan, its like, ESSENTIAL esp. on the weekend, coz i just CANT do it on the weekdays!!!!!!

anyhoooooo, soooo, i stayed over bub's since i was late and way too far to go home.... too tired... in the morning.... alarm went off, 8ish..... helped bubs hang out the washing, then BACK to the nice nice bed for more shut eye..... alarm went off... 9ish..... bub: "better get up"......zzzz.....alarm went off, like every 5mins.......zzzz....9:20am.......bubs:"better get up", me: "just 5 more mins?" (the the sucking up, sweetest angelic voice) zzzz.....thinking thinking in my head, yah, can have enough time......hang on, its 10 i have to get there (some reason i kept thinking 10:30....realise, me:"WHAT time is it?!?!?!?!?!" bubs: "9:24am" AARRRGGHHHHH!!!! lainy jumps OUT and gets ready!!!!!

haahaa

lucky for me, i wasnt THAT late, just about 5mins or so....

i was meeting up with nat, frances and liz.... i knw nat the most, frances and liz were in my enviro bio course, but i never really knew knew them, but yah, we're all friendly, and it was nat's organisation to meet up for dim sum.

geez, we were freakin' early, we managed to crawl in about 10:15am after i spotted some older asian ladies walking in! so just followed, coz the door was open, but i dont think they started serving till about 10:30ish....

just talked about their honours project, random food stuff. i dont think liz has really experience much dim sum. heehehee.. but she tried alot of stuff.

was about 13 bucks p.p. so that was cool.

then headed home... coz have to do HOUSEWORK! argh!

just finished 2 loads of laundry (craaazy) and still waiting on a third now.... well, i dont think i had done any laundry last week, and u know when u have clothes lying around and u *think* u'll wear it just one more time before u wash it? (dunno if u do that but i do sometimes) well, those clothes, im washing now, since they just are lying around.... being a dust collector! LOL

man, im craving onion rings from hungry jacks....

sorry, RANDOM....

ok, lemme get some pics up....

(btw i think this will be a LONG ass entry)

***btw, this is a blog in progression... i've probably had this open for about....hmm..... 4-5hours.... slowly resizing photos, chatting to people, while hanging out laundry, and i just dacked off to the shops to get some fooood.....

geez its freakin windy outside...

anyway.... starting off with pics.... this was from last aus day, i had my digi with me, although i didnt really take AS many photos as i would've liked... and no pics of fireworks, mainly coz i couldnt be bothered and i rather enjoy watching it rather than thru a cam.

hanging out with nam, es, gav, clive, layhoon, michelle, bubs and moi!

starting off with the happy couple, and progression of the photos after...



awww..... unfortunately, gav tried to sneak in, as u can see his eye on the right side.... tsk tsk

yup...

next lot was just taken last wednesday. thanks a heap chia for the photos!!!! i havent shrunk any, so i'll have one or two.

thursday was satoko's bday [HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN SATOKO!!! :D ]

anddd, i was planning this about a week or two ago, well, technically i wasnt planning, i was thinking abt it, but it didnt happen until a week before. coz I wanted to catch up with my uni bio chickies, and well, i realised that satoko's bday was coming up REAL soon, so then i asked chia about it, and we should treat her out as a surprise for her! and well, she had NO idea!!! YAY! i just msged her to see what day she was free so we can catch up and have a girls night out, well, just girls and for dinner, so i suggested victoria station (also coz CINDY, u went there and the pics looked good!!! heehee partially why i wanted to go, and i've never been) so yah, booked and set the time.

the went to get a prez the day before, omg, sooooo hard to get her a presz!!! so i ended up getting a box of lindt choccies (coz every girl LOVES choccies, and i have to say, lindt is one of the best) and also a photo frame! something memorable, and well, i got this funky glass one thats black, and i found a old-ish pic of use when we went to a korean restaurant (yah, i know chia, wasnt the best, but better than nothing coz i didnt have any recent nice pics) so wrapped it up, and chia got a really really nice miss maud's cake, it was like a caramel mud cake, with yummy icing over it (pretty sickening actually, but was nice!)

so chia and i got to the restaurant earlier, to give the cake in early, and also, i asked the lady to put the present on the seat (so that we wouldnt be holding it when satoko came)

so la lalala lala, met up, and went in, YOU know what happens?!

THE lady FRIGGIN' said happy bday to satoko!!!! chia and i were like *URG!* its suppose to be a surprise! i dont think the lady understood, dummmy, ruined it!!!

anyway, didnt matter, coz satoko didnt have a clue why we really were meeting up! heheehe.... but yah, coz we've never really properly celebrated her bday, coz last year she was in the gold coast!!!

anyway, food was DELISH, i thought it was really nice, service was really good, and the price was just about $80 including the ecard! i think that was SO worth it!!!!!

anyway heres some pics! *thanks chia*













so moving on! :)

saturday.... bubs got a hair cut at jt's in garden city... and there was a line!!! so i walked around, and i warned him, "i MIGHt buy something, so dont be surprised if i buy something!!!"

i didnt really want to get anything, coz i dont really want to buy anything, and well, im trying to save money too... but i scrolled to live, and had a look around and saw..... SOCKS! but it wasnt the fact that they were socks, it was coz they were MOOOKS socks!!

i luv mooks, i dont know why! they have a mooks shop in melb!!! if u zoomed me off to melbourne, i would KNOW the location of the mooks shop!!! they have had some COOOL clothes in the past, but i think now, the fashion..... mmm.... mix mix, mixed feelings...some good, some not as great...

anyway, it was anklet socks that were $20 for 5 pairs!!! so thats $4 a pair of socks! sorry, i had to get them! coz they are COOL! haahaa



yup.... but only four colours on the writing, which were pink, two blue, purple and yellow!



nid, i'll prob send u like two pairs!!! lol

anyway, yes, i like these socks..... dunno why, crazy over certain brands.... which can be BAD, im not obsessed, but i know a trusted brand when i see it.

LEMONS....

i have this lemon tree in the backyard, and its kinda grown real feral, like the branches are just everywhere and hanging low coz of the lemons, and it hasnt really been well watered and well, the lemons arent as juicy as desired.... anyway, got home, and theres just a heap of lemons on the ground!!! darn lemmies...... its hard when there are ones that fall near the base of the plant, coz i cant reach in coz the branches just lean over on the ground and i have to some how push my way under and get scratched in the process.... tsk tsk...

anyway, just took some pics for TODAY, just random, not as many, just the selected ones that can be lone lemons....





just the shadow of a bird bath....



yah, my back yard is kinda dry, no green grass.... theres concrete, a bunch of orchids..... then sand.... some soil with random plants here and there....

but anyway, heres the basket of lemons....



and also some chillis from the garden, on the kitchen bench....



yup... thats about it.... long enough? LOL... well, im getting hungry now, and i have to take in the laundry, so ...... IM going to wongan hills on tuesday! ARGH

i'll be sure to bring the digi...

anyhoo, off to make some FOooood! LATERS!
