Ci TIKA

At night, there was dinner at Seoul Ria.

LOL. i was carrying the flower… 

We ate, we laughed, we talked, we caught up! Such a wonderful bonding time especially with Ci Tika whom I haven't met for quite some time. 

Behind The Scenes Of The Arvo Tea!

Today I totally overslept! And basically my appointment with Caro just went down the drain. Well not literally. I can't find a specific phrase to describe the situation. That's all I could think of at the moment! I am trying to speed-blog. Hmm. Not sure if that term exists but anyway the point is that I have been delaying in posting some blog posts so let's make this quick!

Coming back to the topic, I woke up really late and I was even late in meeting up. My biological clock is totally a mess these days and I should definitely rewind it.

I thought it was going to rain but to my good luck it didn't. It was a challenge to go to Maroubra. Firstly, I know it sounds crazy but I actually called Cim up and asked for directions. I missed a bus that I had doubted it would not go to Maroubra even though it was written "Maroubra Junction". But as I stopped by the bus stop, everything seems uphill from there. The buildings were familiar and the roads were too. Unfortunately, I pressed the wrong buzzer. I pressed unit 3 which was somebody else's unit. There was no answer, so I started to work out the text Ci Lily had riddled me. I thought it was a joke, but as I counted the math problem (yes it was a math problem, a simple addition and subtraction) , it was referring to her unit number.

As soon as I arrived, I began to help up with the cake mix! Wooh! It's my first time to be given huge responsibility in the kitchen! It was easier than I thought it would be. You just dump the whole sachets provided in the instant cake mix box to a bowl containing water, and then just start up the mixer.

green goop for the pandan cupcakes! 

look how i go with the orange poppyseed cake mix!

frost up the green baby cupcakes to cover up the random shape 

with rainbow pearls

looks like a winter wonderland to me. 

the orange poppy seed ! these would be frosted up with the cream cheese frost

The bake-off was super fun! We also watched Jeremiah on DVD. Not to forget, a magical incident happened. I have no idea why my Broca's area in the brain allowed myself to spell out the password of my phone to Ci Lily. Then she totally hacked my phone without me realising for a long time. G-rreeatt.

Later on at night, we went to Campsie for Korean BBQ!

LOL

hohoho

It was a carnivorous night for all of us. We ate lots of beef! It was a good meal. Then we enjoyed yogurt at Snow Monkey and I found a good Ze:a song! Check it out down below! 

When I got back to Uniterrace, I went to Bunga's room and joined Della, Raymond, Earl and Nichole to dig on some mooncakes! They were good! Obviously we spent hours there talking and then later on looking at Indonesian Celebrity Gossips on youtube. And, boy, do I miss a lot of Indonesian celeb news from not watching any Indonesian Tv channel here. LOL. 

Growl

I am sorry for neglecting this blog for quite a while. I am too busy in uni. I have tons of posts to write too. Tons of stories to share. I haven't got the "right" time yet. There are mid-exams coming soon as well. I would probably post something after I am done with the tests. 

Anyway, I am addicted to EXO's Growl! And I crave in having my fingers get hold onto the piano to try out the song for myself after watching a video I found on youtube! I can't precisely hit on the right notes though, but I really miss piano so much! 

Check out the vids! Watch the music video first before the piano version! You'll find how amazing the piano player is in being able to figure out the melody. Not to mention her improvisations are truly incredible. I am in awe!

Marigold

This post is going to be filled with my first experience bonanza on having yumcha in Sydney! I am going to eat dim sum at Marigold in the city! Went there by bus along with Earl, Grace, Raymond and Diana. Then met up with the others in the city.

The place reminds me of Sun City in Jakarta, the place where I usually eat dim sum back in Indonesia. So there they were seated in the corner of the glamorous restaurant: Ko Ong, Jopil, Ribka, Sapi and Kriska. The 6 of us joined them in the round table. Apparently they had ordered some of the dishes and they were still left untouched. LOL.

When we just sat down, the waitresses came by offering the dim sum dishes. This was my first time eating yumcha like this. I usually just order them out of the menu. This was just choosing from the moving carts. After choosing the dish, the waitress would put on a stamp on the paper.

chasiupao :3

LOL. priceless faces. 

if you take a closer look at this image. There is surprisingly a strand of hair sticking out of the crispy delight we ordered. We complained to the waiter. He said he something about changing the dish but then never came back. 

mango pancakes! Delicious! 

Mango pudding! Can't get enough of it. I think I ate one and a half of it. 

group photo! :3

We spent a great time eating at that place! We talked and shared a lot of fun topics! I was obsessed with Running Man episode 92 that time! The episode where ChunJungMyung and JYP appeared as guest stars! KYAA! I never knew that JungMyung played in Cinderella's Stepsister! What a shocker.. That episode was too good to be true! I laughed a lot watching it; annoying Cim while she was studying for her finals. But then again, I left the room to avoid being noisy, and watched the episode in the meeting room outside my room. 

After lunch, we all separated our ways. Raymond, Earl, Kathleen, Diana and I went to Kinokuniya! It was huge! I could spend all day wandering around there. But we were in a haste though. Maybe next time. I couldn't believe my eyes that I saw a whole album of Gary Baseman's illustrations. I love his gory artworks for some reason. 

Then we went to a Chinese shop in which Diana bought 2 cans of abalone for her grandmother. 

It was time for us to go back home. I made plans to watch more running man with Earl, Raymond and Diana in the common room at University Terraces at night. Before then, Grace, Earl, Raymond and I visited MaxB. They had their waffles there while I just sat there and watched. I was too full to eat any more chocolate. 

Then we proceeded upstairs to watch Running Man! Apparently Diana was unable to come. We watched the episode on Running Man VS The Law of The Jungle. There is Jinwoon from 2AM there! LOL. I can't believe the Korean part of me suddenly started to grow once more. It was super funny and we got the whole common room to our place.
