Mmmm, I smell mushrooms. lol!! But that's not what I'm going to rant on about in this post perhaps later. xD LOL.

A few nights ago, to celebrate the end of first year of uni, I caught up with four of my bestest (if there is such a word =p) friends from high school whom I miss so much and love dearly: Corrina, Serena, Danmei and Jenifer over a night-out at the city. And oh, such fun to eat and chat about new times as well as old times, reminscing whilst catching up on all sorts of info especially since I'm the only one that goes to USYD whilst the rest go to UNSW! Food brings people together. ^.~ We decided to eat out at Wagamama, a japanese restaurant that we heard was not worth it and the food not too great. lol! So why did we choose such a place? Ahhh- to try out new stuff for you never know and indeed, we never knew until that night. It was actually pretty okay, the food and all, however it quite expensive though. We ordered green tea (because it was freeeee!! lol!!) but we never got it and we ended up with water only - how disappointing. ><" But the atmosphere was nice and I think that that is one of the most important factors for a restaurant, don't you think?







Aaah...it seems that whenever I talk about food, my tummy rumbles. lol!! ^.~ And how can you not when you've got food staring at you?? lol!! Oh dearest me. No wonder why my youngest sister says I'm ballooning into a huge buffalo pie. . . =.="

After gobbling down our dinners, what's a better way then to eat dessert and so off we treaded into the night as I insisted on ice cream at Darling Harbour. And it was a good thing that we decided to, lol, because it made us walk our full bellies off although Danmei wasn't too pleased. lol!! I said it was good for her and the scenary at the harbour is oh-so-beautiful at night. How can one resist? lol. So we treked for quite a distance and in the end, Danmei finally got her revenge back at me by not staying with me to watch the fireworks. *cries* But about that later. Oh dear, it seems as if a storm is about to brew tonight at my place. I hear thunder and oh, I just saw lightning. I get so afraid that my comp will suddenly flicker and then crash when there are storms but I love the feeling of staying all cosy and warm inside whilst the rain pitter-patters outside. Don't you love that feeling. And then I always wish for a blackout as an excuse to do everything in candlelight and just ooze away on the couch, daydreaming about silly little fantasies. HAHAHAHA!! Oh gosh, I've gone off topic again. Forgive me. ^-^



The ice cream parlour that I wanted to go to was on the other side of the harbour and noone wanted to trek across the harbour with me. ><" What friends, lol!! I forgive you guys. So we found another one on our side and oh, gelato in raspberry flavour is sooo nice!! And oh, just eating ice cream whilst looking out into the harbour and chatting is such a wonderous, lovely feeling don't you think? I'm so easy to please. lol!! It was lovely indeed. I remember Serena becoming thirsty afterwards and she figured out we should just go to a bar nearby and order water. lol!! Do you think it would be strange if we sat at a table at a bar and just ordered water and then left? Perhaps I should try it one day if I have enough nerve and then I'll tell you all about it. So we ended up going to Maccas to order water for it's free. ^-^ You should have heard us that night. We wanted everything to be free and we had used that word so much that night. You must think we're "tight-asses" but I've got an excuse, we're poor uni students. lol! ^.~ kekeke.







We heard that there was to be fireworks but we decided not to stay and to go home. ><" But I'm an optimistic person and there's always next time!! ^^ Right? And next time, I'll make sure we stay for it. kekeke. =p

But for now, I think I will go off and try to finish reading 'The Old Curiosity Shop' by Charles Dickens whilst listening to the pitter-patter of the rain. And perhaps, some music and a glass of milk. Care to join me? ^-^


Hugs & kisses, Cotton Candy.
