12 hour shift

Had a 12 hour shift at Me Oi on Sunday lol. I wasn't that tired during the shift but afterwards my legs hurt like shit. I am so sick of viet food its legit alternating pho and red rice every day.

Went out to Campsie for some jap food as a going away thing for Jessica who is leaving for China tmr poo poo. She bought a new lens thing from typo which kinda zooms out the camera so you can fit more stuff into it (technical explanation right here). We had lots of yummy food and saw Phynia walking past the restaurant.

Then we went Meet Fresh in Burwood for dessert miam. FD kept whaling that we weren't going to see Jessica the alien for 3 weeks. So strange.

I have a stye on my eyelid and its been irritating me for the whole day.

Up to season 4 suits. I still like it so far LOL.

Angels Who Xinned

the fuck is this title. This is my 100th post wow.

For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.

Wow the bible is brutal. Jk not trying to offend anyone's beliefs I'm just not a very religious person.

Went to temple this morning (lol temple on Christmas day) to tell my grandfather my atar. Trust me not my idea. My mother still believes that if we talk to his urn he will somehow hear??? For the 1000th time, shook some incense sticks and pretended to pray.

Had lunch with Angel and Xin after not having seen them in 5eva. After their hsc I promised to shout them chicken but it never happened and after my hsc they wanted to shout me chicken LOL.

Soooooooooooooooooo had some chicken at El Jannah and it was pretty good!! Don't know if I would trek to Granville/Punchbowl for it again tho. We had a whole chicken, chips, bread, some pickled shit and garlic spread. the garlic spread was nice but really pungent and stayed on our breath for so long.

Caught up on random HSC/uni stuff then went to Xin's house. Her room looked like a war zone. She was cleaning her closet so offered me some clothes lmao. She was planning on donating stuff she had never ever worn omg the tags were still on. Also all her tops were not wearable because of her huge boobs.

Then Angel drove us to cabra to get What the Fudge. Had the deep fried golden gaytime, mocha frappe and lychee watermelon juice. The deep fried golden gaytime was such a let down :((((( the pastry was still raw and there were way too many layers so bleurgh, mocha frappe was meh but the juice was pretty nice.

This is deep fried golden gaytime. It's usually nice :(

Then they drove me home yay didn't die by Angel's driving.

Helped mum make Christmas dinner!! I did the chicken and potatoes. potato. Chicken looked so much like vomit before it was cooked.

Bangtown Chefs

When I got ATAR I was like to my parents what am I getting for doing well?? Because Kylie told me her parents were giving her 500 for 99+ and they also gave Sandy another 500 for state ranking and I was like wtf my parents would not do that. But I was joking because they don't have to give me anything its just HSC but I think they felt bad so when we went out to Christmas dinner tonight they gave me this:

That effort and photoshop skill tho. They gave my sis a similar one to support her trip to India next month hahaha

We ate at Chef's Gallery at Bankstown (there's one at Town Hall) and it was so so. Everything was very oily :( But the lychee and mango shake/juice was really yummy.

Some seafood noodles

Some tofu

Some more tofu - spinach and cheese this time

We also had the peking duck rolls but didn't take a pic oops. 

Green tea bingsoo from Kanzi - not as nice as Caffe Tiamo

Up to season 3 suits and its so good omg.

If you think you are bad at cooking, just know you won't fuck up a boiled egg as badly as this. (NOT ME BTW IM NOT THAT SHITTY)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Finally got paid at work today omg. Been waiting for my money for so long. Francis got paid $1400 for two weeks so casually holding a fat envelope containing a bajillion $50 notes.

After work met up with sis to eat dinner. Didn't get food from Me Oi because wanted to eat with sis but My said they were still gonna deduct half an hour from my pay anyway so I just got a strawberry shake.

Ordered a kimchi and ribs stew from Danjee for dinner. It was very yummy but there was so much cabbage in it we couldn't finish it all.

Then watched Star Wars and it was really good!! I'm not that big of a Star Wars fan because only watched 4-6 a few weeks ago but I was still pretty excited for it. I was not let down!! Go watch it its so fun and yah. CGI is great (except for giant evil thing I don't even know the name of), story is fab, fight scenes are cool, lightsabers are still fucking boss. I MEAN LOOK AT THIS THING.

Apparently they paid Harrison Ford 34 mil to be in it but only paid the other leads (the white girl and black guy) around 500k. oops.

I thought the girl's acting was a bit off but w/e I'm generally not a good judge of acting. brb going to watch some youtubers review it / fanboy and scream.

Forgot to mention that I finished reading The Martian a few days ago and I really liked it!! It was so funny I actually laughed out loud on the train once. After watching the movie I could visualise all the science shit a lot easier. So cool I want to go to Mars now and survive on potatoes.

Started reading the Magician and its a bit meh. Its so damn long but used $23 on it so might as well finish it.

I think my hairline is receding.

***** watched some reviews and everyone said the girl acted really well nvm

Train Reunion

Had the shittiest sleep last night: went to bed at 1, woke up at 3, tried to get back to sleep, failed, fell asleep at 5, then woke up at 8:30 for train reunion!!

Train reunion was at Vinh Phat cabra because thats where we went for our last meetup which was like  2+ years ago. Actually had not seen or talked to Anna in over a year and was looking forward to seeing everyone doing things with their lives.

Anywayyyy it was Fi, Rhonda, Christine, Anna, Tammy and I bcus Fip and Vickie couldn't make it / is not in this country at this moment.

We caught up and legit everyone is exactly the same as the last time I saw them. Rhonda is still wise af LOL and Anna is this devil trapped in a little girl's body. Everyone is k00l.

Rhonda and Christine had to swap car park spots bcus the time limit was almost up but they were scared other people would take them so we volunteered to literally stand on both car spots until they drove around lel.

Then we went Meet Fresh and it was so yum esp in the ratchet ass oven weather.

Then Tammy and I trained to St James to go Carols in the Domain. We met up with Jan and the whole crew and sweltered in the heat. The sun was right above us and if we didn't bring umbrellas / Jan didnt bring her shelter thing, we would've been cooked human dumplings.

I couldn't stay for actual carols because I had work which was sad. Me Oi was so quiet tonight omg it was so chill. We finished super early bcus there were very little customers. Wooooooohoooeoooohooo didn't get told off too many times today aye. #notfiredyet

atar and peak party

lmao writing this as i have just come home from peak party

1st thing to address: results and atar

Got my results back like 2 days ago or something idk and I was super happy bcus I got 95 for chem even after bombing the 7 marker industrial question. Got 92 for english yay band 6 suck on that janine i got that band 6 even tho u said i couldn't if i didn't get tutoring

AND I DIDNT FUCKING GET TUTORING FUCK YEH

ATAR WAS 99.85 I WAS KIND OF EXPECTING IT BUT KIND OF NOT LIKE I WAS EXPECTING AROUND 99.80 but Feng linked me this vid of this other guy getting 99.85 and he was so sad about missing out the scholarship by 0.05

so the night before atar came out me and amy got drunk and we went a lil cray and I told phynia I thought her dp was pretty even tho its not really???????????? but w/e I was drunk it doesn't count.

So yah we woke up at 9 and couldn't check it immediately because Amy forgot her pin. Before we checked eug told me what she got so after she told me I was expecting something lower than her and I was like I will cry if I get 99.85 because so close and I had Feng's video in the back of my mind

then I opened and I got 99.85 and I started hysterically laughing and crying and lmao just couldn't deal with being so close to that 99.90 scholarship.

I am ok with my atar now because like w/e its still pretty good even tho i missed out just a tiny bit but shit happens. kinda feel sad for even studying in year 12  because it accounted to nothing I mean legit I couldve gotten 91 without trying tbh

PEAK PARTY

Just came home from peak party and I am so drunk. Peak party was at Bach Dang

I don't think I'm that heavyweight anymore because I had 8 shots and I'm tipsy. My mum just tripped over but I'm too tipsy to think.

Anyway at the beginning of the night I was feeling so self conscious because all the recently graduated were on one table and I was sitting with some random chem tutors lol

Anyway I made some new friends before I was tipsy and they were mostly all chem tutors lmao. They were really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

They were offering beers  but I was like nah I'm underage. And I was just real awkward but it was like ok,...

Then the shots came out.

Banhdrew brought out this vodka and Mel, Yen and Banhdrew went around to every table and did a shot with them.

then they did that with tequila and whiskey until I had about 7-8 shots. I don't know. Anyway I got real tipsy and still am and i started talking to everyone and I met lots of people and I told heaps of them that I was tipsy and they probably were too though because everyone had shots.

So now I'm tipsy as I'm writing this and this is my real literary voice y'all that's right heres a slice of my real real real life. I talked to Yen and she was like you should try teaching and I was like nah I will be a tomato and she was like nah you don't know until you try so go hit up Mel if you want to do it. Sir congratulated me on my ATAR and Nathan also congratulated me.

All the Senior teachers did speeches and it was so gr9. Sad Mel is leaving because she is so nice.

Anyway me and Patritian brothers Phuc were urging each other to shots so we were both pretty tipsy lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll sorry I can't spell Patrician and yah I just did lots of ls cus I was thinking of what to say next but anyway PEAK is so rave-like behind the scenes

Everyone is super nice. 

I was pretty underdressed but too tipsy to care atm lol

I love being drunk because socially awkward Serena goes away. I asked Brendan Trinh the same question 5 times and he was like wow you asked me that 5 times and I was like I'm sorry. I forgot what he is doing at uni and I'm pretty sure thats the question I asked him 5 times I'm sorry Brendan.

Also the Do family do not look alike at all. Matt and Brendan are really nice and they all like star wars. Everyone likes star wars actually except for miss Yen???  ?? ?? ? ?? ? ? ? 

Party finished at 11 ish and started at 6:30 but felt like no time at all.

I feel like when I'm tipsy time goes so fast lmao I love it I think I'm going to be an alcoholic soon. Alcohol makes any social situation better.

Inner West train line reunion tmr. Lol tbt when the inner west line extended past sefton and carramar to liverpool (cool story bro ah)

Worked at Me Oi today and I wasn't hated on as much today. Broke a glass bottle tho and the girl who hates me sighed a lot. But the boss was so nice and was like NWS just clean it up and wipe the floor DWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH GO PEAK EVERYONE IS SO PARTY ANIMAL WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN CLASS LMAO.

GO LAN WAS KINDA CAKED but w/e I still think she kind of dislikes me even after offering me donuts. She asked if I was working tmr but I was like nah soz m8/

i THINK i should end this post but I feel like I'm missing some details of the night. OH YEh we ate lots of seafood which I didn't eat but everyone else ate and it was all free and free alky peak was the best decision of my life tbh :DD_)ALSDJVALSEE# yas

I love being tipsy. Yes. WE should do this every day.

GOING TO SHOWER NOW WISH ME LUCK

Food pho dayz

took half of the crazy chicken group to eat free pho at me oi today lel.

connie innie lianne lulu carrie feng fd kylie tammy jan sharon and yah tina said she was going to go with eugene.  Jan's mum popped up too!!

we all ordered different bowls of pho and most said it was very filling but I couldve eaten more.

we also ordered drinks so it'd be less slack just eating free pho. Francis had to make all the drinks and was like "I'll get my revenge."

but he won't.

We went downstairs and also saw Larissa, Cath Guo and Emily Deng!

Please come back to Me Oi so I can serve y'all when I'm actually working lel

actually have 0 photos from today so here are other peoples photos.

Then went Caffe Tiamo to eat some greentea bingsu and a shitty honeycomb one. Then rushed off to Peak. At the end of the night Go Lan said she would call me if there was any hwk to mark tmr but she hasnt called me so fk. 

if supply outstrips demand, the value of the commodity decreases? 

Because of the excess supply of markers at Peak (and low demand for hwk to be marked) I have only earnt $370 this month :( wow economics much wow

economists pls feel free to correct me. 

Also ATAR day is coming soon trying to figure out plans but don't know what to do.

I want a sleepover. Don't know if parents would be happy with that idea.

Went to work today and rolled up some spring rolls. Got to leave early because boss said only people who were working tmr needed to stay back.

Only working 22 hours next week :( was supposed to work 30 with the old roster but boss changed it last minute. 2 veterans are working 84 hours next week lel. Good luck.

Lots of people going for free pho tmr yay!! be there or be square. or triangle.

Since I left early (at 4 ish) I called FD to see if they were still out after picnic meet up and yah luckily she was. I thought the whole group was getting to Circular Quay in 10 mins so I rushed to make my train from Town Hall.

Then like 15 minutes of waiting around doing nothing they finally arrived and I was met by Jan, Carrie, FD and Sharon all being like

Take me into your loving arms

Pls Ed Sheeran.

Fun fab and cool. He is so talented and amazing.

Foy Vance, Passenger and Rudimental were the opening acts. Foy Vance I only knew because he sang a couple of Greys Anatomy songs + I remember him as the guy whose name is so similar to Vance Joy's.

We got there way too early.

You see that lil speck there? jk i can't even see him. That's Passenger. He was so funny lel. he kept joking about how he only had one smash hit and he would have to play some other sad depressing songs first otherwise everyone would lose interest after Let Her Go. 

Allianz Stadium getting packed. 

Ed Sheeran was a one man band (there was no one but him on the stage except when Elton John came on lol) and he just kept using the loop pedal like a boss. His harmonies were so nice and everything was just so nice. It was pouring before the concert but thank buddha I was sitting under shelter. The atmosphere was a lil hectic everyone was singing/screaming the lyrics depending on the song. Idk what my favourite song was because they were all amazing. Every song sounded different compared to on the album but in a really good way like they were usually extended or had some crazy loop stuff going on.

So much better than Justin Bieber on Believe tour...

Ed Sheeran is so wise: "“Success is the best revenge for anything."

“I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.” 

Everything I do is me trying to please other people lol. I have no individuality. #prodistopia

I GOT A JOB (I THINK)

I'm working at Me Oi at Strathfield!! 

Francis told me to give my resume last week so I did. 

This morning was so hectic. I woke up at 10:30 ish then checked my phone and I had a missed called from a random number so I was like shitttttttttt. I called back then Francis answered and was like lol I will give you to the boss who then asked me to come in asap for my trial. I checked my phone and the next train was in 8 mins so I got ready in 3 mins then left the house LOL. It is the quickest I have ever gotten ready omfg. I realised I wore diff coloured converses when I got on the train but too late to do anything about it.

Work is pretty fun. A lot less stressful than KFC. Francis is so annoying omfg. I told him to make me a drink because he works in that section and he gave me ice water. He kept asking me to thank him for it and I would've flipped him off but can't exactly do that at work... 

There was a really nice co-worker who just came to Australia 3 months ago!! She was telling me about how she was surprised there were so many asians in the CBD and Campsie etc.

The manager asked me if I ever get late but it sounded like laid and I was like WTF why do you ask this but yeh he meant late. But what a weird way to phrase the question amirite??

It's 2 minutes from the station so come visit me lel. 

Apparently Me Oi means hey mum :O

OVERPRICED FOOD PT 2

FD just posted about the overpriced lunch we had at Tyson's restaurant and I was like wow such coincidence!!! Because I just came back from dinner at Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant at Wynyard and it was even more overpriced than the so-so viet stuff we had at Indochine.

It cost $58 for the three course Christmas meal special thing. Expensive af I know but my auntie was paying hehehehe. I was expecting so much because of the price and ITS JAMIE OLIVER but no it was such a let down...

There are no pictures because the lighting was so shitty.

Entree was this tasting platter thing with cheese and meats. It was ok but nothing special. My favourite was the buffalo mozzarella balls that tasted a little like string cheese just ball form. Everything was slathered in Jamie Oliver's signature olive oil.

Main was so so so so so so disappointing. I ordered some slow cooked chicken or some shit idk what it was. So dry and tasteless I swear they didn't even bother to salt it. There was no sauce with it only this potato mash kinda thing that wasn't made of potato. Everything was just bland af and they tried to hide the blandness with a shitload of green veggies. I hate veggies.

I tried other peoples mains and they were all better than mine. Cousin got this super yummy pork belly thing and my auntie ordered a so-so fish dish. I have really bad luck when I order things I swear. Will always remember when I got this alcoholic N2 sorbet and it was so bitter and nasty but Kylie liked it??

Dessert was not as bad. I ordered a trifle with meringue, custard, rosewater jelly and strawberries and it was pretty yummy. But again nothing special. I feel like it is something you could make with very little dollars.

This was my first time going to his restaurant it was not a good experience. Kylie says it is yummy tho. Maybe if you go don't get the Christmas banquet because the choices are pretty limited and nothing is spectacular.

Dinh's 18th, Amy's Sleepover

Went to Nancy Dinh's birthday party at Coogee on Wednesday. It was pretty fun, met a few new people. Got pushed around by the waves for like 3 hours and got sunburnt hahaha. When I met up with Amy at Coles she was so shocked at how black I was.

Had another sleepover at Amys. We tried to get drunk on Baileys but I didn't feel anything :(( The quest to get drunk continues.

The next day FD, Feng and Victor came over and we made spaghetti for lunch. Then we went canoeing in the river behind Amy's house. Feng, Amy and I were in one canoe and we caught a sad little jellyfish. Fd and Victor were in another one and they were so slow. They spent most of the time bein romantic in their canoe and basically just drifted along not bothering to row.

Getting one shift per week at Peak again because nothing to mark :(

Finished ep 4-6 and ep 1,2 of Star Wars. Watching 3 tonight yayayayyayayayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy woioooohohohohoho need to peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
