November 30 brekky at West EndApparently West End is brekky mecca. Didn't know that before. So had brekky with CL there again. And this time I managed to wake up and wasn't late. Anyway, very very odd weather going on here. Like its autumn or something. The sky was dark and dreary but it didn't really rain. And it was windy. So weird...but better than that blazing heat I say. And there was an IR Law demostration going on at South Bank when I got there. Interesting... Breakfast was delicious. Yummy capuccino, and a dish which name I don't remember. It had bread, sauteed mushrooms and tomatoes, spinach, and some yam thingy. Almost managed to finish it...was simply stuffed after. Yeah, had good time with her as usual. She's fun. Her cat, now that's a different story. Adorable...but playful scratches on hand - not good. Guess I'm just not a cat person. Worked late shift. 6 - 9.30. Almost late for work today. Eeek...hate rushing. Running in a shopping complex does not look cool. And the shop is friggin' at the opposite end of the building from the bus stop. Jeez... I'm off tomorrow...Yessssssssssss.... November 25 Sh|t it's hotdamn...how I miss winter. This hot humid weather sucks.
Had dimsum with the guys at Sunnybank today. Yum-meee... I haven't really indulged here have I? Trying to be sort of a scrooge all the while. Well...I have finished my 1st year, I have done what I can. I should at least enjoy some of it. I thought it would be really expensive but turned out to be ok. The best - dessert. Mango pancakes.
Stepping into Sunnybank is kinda weird. It's like stepping into Hong Kong or Taiwan or something. It's the real Chinatown I guess. You can actually play spot-the-white-person there. Anyway, it's great for choice of Asian food. There's heaps. Had my 1st bubble milky tea here. Was alright, just too sweet.
A really 'Chinese' day for me I guess.
Another thing - why do things always have to be complicated? What do you want? No clue. (the crazy rants of a person suffering from heat stroke) November 16 Finally a real breakI haven't really relaxed since my exam. Working everyday after exams is not relaxing. Staying home for 1 day doing nothing is kinda relaxing, but not really. Getting a tattoo is definately not relaxing.
So...today met up with CLR for coffee. We went to The Three Monkeys at West End which was such a cool place. I think that is the coolest looking cafe I've ever been too. Nice earthy colours...wooden sculptures...embroidered cushions. Loved the atmosphere. Haven't really seen much of Brisbane. I really have to get out more. What better chance than summer break hey? Anyway, I think she's just the nicest person to talk to. I can feel free to talk about all sorts of crap. Not judgemental or anything, which is a good thing.
Went window shopping at Chermside with mum after. Yes...it really was window shopping for me and not "window" shopping. I didn't buy any clothes...thank God. Tried a few, but luckily they didn't really fit or didn't really suit me. I have to stop buying tops man.
The best part? Compliments from strangers bout my new tat! Don't hate self-loving me...I'm just so proud of it! And apparently, I'd missed a hail storm yesterday because I was down the studio getting tattooed. November 15 I think my pain-threshold just went up 3 notchesOK I'm gonna do this while it's still fresh in my head. Not that I'm gonna forget the feeling real soon. Pain! Ouch...that really did hurt. Piercings are better cuz they're over in seconds. This was a little more than an hour. The music in the studio did help though. Btw...songs with a tattoo-gun vibration sound remix does not sound good. Thinking about how I might describe my experience in my blog later certainly does not help. So...just tried thinking bout other stuff. And taking pics. Hehe...quite a number of pics. My tattoo artist's name was Chris. She'd been doing this for 9 years which I think is a fair bit of time. Yeah...nothing beats experience. It hurt alot in the beginning then I sort of phased out for a little and it didn't hurt for awhile. But of course it came back again. And the part that hurt the most was the edges of the manta's wings. Sensitive area I guess. And I kept sweating alot. Oh...and apparently I have stretchy skin. All worth it! Love the design...love the shading! I know what I'm doingHere's the thing - I've done my research, I've looked long and hard at the design, and I love it.
I know what I'm doing man...people (namely parents who gave birth to very grateful mua) please get off my case. You'll love it, I'm sure of it. 100%!!
I can provide lots of arguments!
I could go on forever but that's basically it - I know what I'm doing!
for people who do not know what I'm yabbering about...it's just a tattoo. Yeah...and all the hoo-hah...
November 14 Books...what else?Have you ever read a book that has evoked your emotions one at a time, and sometimes all at once? Excitement, anticipation, sadness, relief, happiness…everything. It cuts to the bone and you feel it. That arrangement of alphabets, spaces and symbols tied up by that one amazing author to tell you her story. And better yet, the story is always different to every reader. What sensation your imagination forms from those words are yours and yours alone…no one could possibly share the same feeling.
When all else fails, something to call your own – a book and your imagination. November 13 Free at last?Gawd...y cant I post youtube stuff here. Izzit just me? Anyway...exams finished last thursday. And finally...I've got the time to enjoy it today. To sit at home and do zilch. Ended up working the entire day from friday to sunday, which is sucky when you feel alot like relaxing. Well, it feels good now. Gotta get used to this feeling - not having to read or do tut preparation everyweek. Not to mention the pressure of assignments. Oh man I hate those. Y the heck am I talking bout it then? Oh yeah...and I'm pretty much getting into the christmas mood. Got me a little christmas tree complete with lights! Nope...christmas would not be complete without a tree. With a home made foil star...and teabags...er...don't ask. And it definately would not be complete without christmas prezzies!! I love christmass! Non-existant Santa rocks! November 03 People if u wanna glimpse of heaven on earth - Watch this!!!Been trying to post youtube clips here. Unsuccessfully.
