Today's my 18th birthday, yay! I can do anything I want but unfortunately if i ever commit a crime I hafta face charges, boo! (Not that I'm going to anyway :-p)...Even so, didnt really do much, went on with college as usual. I got a handmade card and matching bracelet and necklace from mah dear college chums. After class me and my parents went to the music shop to look for a clavinova. We bought a small one for our lil apartment. The new one isnt as good as the one I have back home (mine's antique but priceless xD) but it's good enough, tomorrow only arriving. After that we came home and rest for awhile. Then we went to Flower Drum in Chinatown for dinner, was nice. Then home again for cake, parents got me a flourless, dark chocolate cake, yum! Unfortunately they didnt give us candles nor a knife, sweet..Well doesn't matter as long as I still get to eat it after, lol! Gave some to my neighbour 'cause too much. Omg, there's so much work to complete but I don't wanna do any work on my birthday >.<...Sigh, I wish I could celebrate with my friends and family back home, doesn't feel the same here..Owh, well at least i'm coming home in a months time, yay! xD

Hmm..had college today as usual but last working day of the week, lol..My sculpture made it into the display section, so happy! hehe..Went to Flagstaff garden this morning for Principle & Elements class..We had to create an art piece inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. Who's he?? He's an environmental scuptor and he creates pieces entirely from nature such as rock balancing, ice fragments, etc..should check our his work, damn nice and smart. Because it's the environment, hi work doesn't last long, most of the time only a few minutes as the materials will deteriorate. As he said, "process and decay are implicit"..So yea my group was split into two teams and we had to decorate a tree by creating a contrast using leaves of different colour (Yellow, yellow-brown, green & reddish-brown). Since we're only allowed to use natural stuff we had to use water in place of glue. To make things harder, it was windy >.<. We appointed people to stand around the tree and be wind blockers, lol..At last we managed to finish (see pic below). NIkita baked muffins so we ate there and then , was nice hehe..Then normal la, had unch then English class (I owned again xD)..After class, Pear, Tonia and I went to watch Made of Honour at Melbourne Central. Not bad, romantic and funny, just how I like it. It's like the reverse of My Best Friend's Wedding but only better :-)..After the movie I followed my friend to Safeway to buy groceries then I tapau-ed MacDonalds (Lean Aussie Beef Burger, yummy), come home, eat an finished watching Princess Hours :-P..Tomorrow I gotta get started on some work before my relatives come :-S..Sigh..Not to mention clean house -_-

Even though it was labour day but we don't get a day off :-(..That' cuz Melbourne labour day was in April..Anyway i had college as usual, principle & element and english class. Finally, my teacher liked my sculpture, now I can create the final, yay!...Anyway we had a light lunch (me salad) 'cause we're gonna have an early dinner. Then went to Officeworks to buy catridge paper to make my sculpture. After we went to RMIT library on swanston for our english class..Got there early so we checked out some design books while waiting :-)..Well even though English's usually boring but we this Gary guy came in and gave us tips on how to advanced search on Google so twas not bad (If I remember I will post the notes next time for you guys :D)
..After class we stayed in the library for like an hour because it was too cold to go outside (raining too, brrr...) >.<...It was like, raining whole day and some of us didn't bring umbrella so yea..xD. Pear gave her brolly to Jacques and she took mine :-p..Me and Hun were 'sheltered' by our hoodies and Join, her cap, lol..Luckily not too far or else we'd get pneumonia, haha! Ate at Han Gook Guan (Korean restaurant) which was nearby my place. It felt REALLY good when we got inside the restaurant..but they served us cold water, wth?? LOL...My korean friend Hun here did the translating and ordering, dunno what they were talking about..We wanted something to warm up so we ordered a bottle of so jou (korean sake) but only Hun, Jacques and me drank 'cause the others can't drink :-p..So I took one sip and...I realised I prefer wine xD xD It was sweet at first but then it had that strong liquor taste which tasted like pure ethanol >.< (Note: 16 % alcohol)..I took one cup kong already and Jacques had two..Hun did the honours, lol..After dinner we felt really warm and cozy but when we went out it was freezing again xD
And guess what?? We had ice-cream even though it was so bloody cold!! :D..I highly recommend you to try Freddos, they even got durian ice-cream which I found out the guys hate it. He took like one bite and had to eat alot of ice-cream to get rid of the taste, lol..I had Roche and Toblerone ice-cream which was a too sweet combination >.<..
We stayed at that place for almost two hours chatting until my friend wanted to catch her train..Got home at around 9.30pm..Nothing much after that, just ichatted with my dad, then surfed, then this..Now no more, wanna sleep soon so bon nuit, hehehe...
