(I also no longer wish to be a miserable sod.)

I hate starting out with a shoddy comment that goes along the lines of 'ohmygawhd, I haven't blogged in so long, I better blog that I'm oh so sorry that I haven't been blogging'. But in all honesty, I've had a crappy week and I don't care what you think about my blogging habits -feels super assertive and proud of self-

And a super congrats to Alex for being the last of our high school friendship groupie quadrio (is that a word? wth) to finally enter the 'Nanna League' as Nhu calls it. The Nanna League, in my own personal perspective, is a majestic group of old bitches who like to nap, be lazy and generally don't want to do sh*t with life (life = uni, work, responsibility haha).

I think it's a wonderful opportunity and excuse to not do anything on your birthday. But for Alex, she proudly projected her youthful self into a cloud of elderly wisdom and awesomeness and held a birthday dinner (and went clubbing afterwards! more on this later).

I tried to dress accordingly for the night *see also; TRYINGSOHARDTOLOOKGOODTOFITINWITHGORGEOUS&GLAMOUROUSFRIENDS.

Went to Jason's house after my ridiculous counselling exam (damn you, psychology. You suck) and got ready. I was so hungry after such a crazy power brain workout from the exam and Jason was uber kind enough to run out to buy fish and chips.

We sat on the floor with this little sister Jenny just eating fish and chips and talked about nothing - it was really fun! Getting to talk to Jenny, it's just been sooooo long since I've actually got to have a real conversation with her!
And she's super ambitious for her studies too! Later on in life, she's aiming real high in the careers ladder~ #jealous

These are the pair of shoes I wore that night! They're rather comfortable - even for me! And I have a seriously low pain tolerance for shoes that are higher than 1cm off the ground. (Shoes were from L&J Shoe Gallery.)

The ribbon was bought off ebay, I had a giant dilemma over which colour to buy. Black matched all my clothes but it was boring. Pink was reallyyyy cute but too girly. Red was so bright and pretty, but nothing would match it. So I figured, Jason's favourite colour would be the perfect choice :)

The clutch was from ... uhh.. my senior year formal? Don't know where it was from, but it sure is pretty and doesn't get out often. ._.

See the flake chocolate behind the clutch? I got so much crap from Jason for buying it. Can you believe it? Buy your boyfriend some snack chocolates, and he teases you for doing so. Jason is a boob. He has a whole bag of those flake chocolates at home, and APPARENTLY $1 Flake Chocolates have been on sale since FOREVER.

Obviously, I didn't know and I thought it was a nice thing to do for him. I kicked him after he picked on me. I DID SOMETHING NICE FOR YOU, DON'T COMPLAIN YOU TASTELESS BOOB.

Did I mention that the shoes have adorable bows on the back? They jingle as you walk, it's the best thing ever. #likesjinglythings

This is Jenny! I look like a psychotic serial killer next to her pure innocence.

This is Jason. He'll be your photographer for the rest of the ride. He prefers taking pictures of things rather than people. I say opposite! People and things are both very interesting things to photograph, but when there's a social gathering of people - it's better to photograph the people! sigh! This boy = =


Birthday girl Alex & Rachael

So many pretty cocktails were poured that night, so much colour in every glass - seriously!
Did I also mention the place was really pretty? I was super self conscious about running around taking pictures of the bar and the sculpture in the middle of the dining area, so I just handed the camera to Jason :(
I must learn to move from this self consciousness to take pretty photos! #determined


Oh, AND the place was right on the Brisbane River and you could see the Story Bridge! It's so pretty! I remember one of my friends used to live in an apartment on Queen St and the Story Bridge was just outside on her balcony and it was so great (imo, the bridge is prettiest when it's green.) To ruin the mood, I also remembered we played the 'Penis Game' at the same balcony.

Oh yeah, I'm going off on a tangent here (and have the maturity of a 10 year old).

I ordered the salmon!
..and Jason ordered the Vindaloo lamb something something.

A lot of people said the food wasn't really to their liking, but I thought the salmon was awesome. And Alex said the butter chicken was good too, so now we know what to order next time we go there :D







Meet Loc. He calls me 'Tiny Bean', in reference to my brain. I call him 'gay', in reference to his loserness.
Also a privilege of joining the Nanna League, we play with our food (You should see the Hitler we made out of chips at Nandos.) We started out with a face... then a chinese straw hat.. and then an Indian 'bindi'. Then Nhu declared it looked like the logo of Satay Hut. It was hilarious #youjusthadtobethere


My gift! Lovingly wrapped ♥ I got Alex a cookbook for sweets (ie. marshmallows, butterscotch, musk, candied stuffs, things that make you fat and feel good) and a pair of earrings to encourage her to get her ears pierced.

It was actually so funny though, I found the cutest pair of swallow earrings and I thought it really suited her. Then I ran into Lena later that day I was all:

'OMG LENA, I GOT ALEX'S PRESENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK -pulls out earrings-'

'Alex doesn't have her ears pierced.'

But it's okay, I'm encouraging her to get her ears pierced! It is a good cause, you hear me?

Jason being more godlike than he already is #lies

Anyhow! That was that night, it was so much fun getting to see everyone again :D
I've got lots more to blog about, but I require lots of time to procrastinate and clean my room D:
