just another day in michelle-land

i thought about using the small size for this post but then realised that even i couldn't read it without my eyes going funny...oh the joys of getting old-er. speaking of which, its mummy's birthday today!!! tho i can't actually mention how old she'll be without her strangling me. so, we'll be going to celebrate her birthday tomorrow night at my recommended restaurant - Fermented Grape. this caused a bit of disagreement coz daddy thought it sounded like a gross name for a restaurant with mel adding that she's mentally coming up with images (and smell) of the taiwanese delicacy, fermented beancurd. of course, since this discussion was during dinner, it put everyone off their food...for about 2 seconds. then when i explained that it's a wine restaurant and that u actually get a wine buffet eg. all the booze u can drink, everyone agreed to give it a go. please bear in mind that i came across the restaurant in the gold coast's dining out magazine and that i'm not an alcoholic :)

this will be about the first time, ok second, that i've looked at my results for the last semester and not wanted to die :) however, it just proves that i'm a lazy bum and if i even get my lazy ass into gear for a little bit, i can do so much better! ok so what made the difference?? first of all, i must give credit to chris for his "secret study techniques" which, although a disappointment, did help me to get into gear. second of all, the massive amounts of chocolate i consumed helped lots. lastly, but also most importantly, the 8-hour sleep and frequent naps really refreshed an otherwise sleepy me.

anyway on to more exciting things....we're going to melbourne!!!!!! in about 3 weeks mel and i will be off to melb for some retail therapy....not to mention, this caused some problems for me. namely the fact that i looked into my bank account and discovered i had managed to somewhat save enough in there so that i could buy those true religion jeans i had my eyes on...only to realise that i will not have money to spend in melb. so began the internal struggle of what i should do, which ended when i decided to save it for melb and that i don't need another pair of designer jeans. trust me, hardest decision i made this month.

i managed to sign into msn messenger today (yay!) and got talking to esther about her 21st party...and her newfound allergy to red wine...hahaha. cute story but. she also mentioned that chris didn't stay for long...at least not long enough to meet the hot friends he requested for ;) anyhow, i'm so excited to finally be seeing you again in melb!!

eek....tiredness....can't wait for the next 4 hours to fly by so i can watch inspektor rex my fave crime fighting pooch :))

will be revamping this space real soon so keep an eye out!
