restaurant standards: 1228

MY. POST. WAS. DELETED.

As a result i will now upload all the images i was intending to post in it and remove my commentary!!!!!!!!!!! okay, i lied, i can't bring myself to not-write..

katherine made me a wonderful omelette and also some yummy oatmeal pancakes. they were so healthy seeming but not really but mostly very very delicious! YAY. she has now inspired me to cook more.

who could resist this smiling innocent face? ♥

I also recently went to a cafe in Box Hill called 1228! It is opposite the tramstop and is Steph's favourite cafe. Yes, we met at 12:28pm (though regrettably not on the 28th of December. additionally i was late, as is typical of me. shameful). 

Wong had the lunch special, a bento box. steph and i chose it for him because there were "so many choices". He refused to look at the menu after this, to choose a more suitable meal. Oh well, he seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed his drink, it was tangy - Passionfruit Milky Tea! aww. Steph had lychee and I had honey, which INFINITELY SUBTLE YET COMPLEX. Their bubble tea is good and standard-price. They also had, under the jelly/pearl additions, "mango". Wong exclaimed over this, but sadly Steph informed him that it was probably "mango jelly". sadness!

my restaurant review is failing.

I ate their special or something, it was "small". anyway it was REALLY DELICIOUS and i keep CRAVING IT. $8.50 for a large bowl!

They also had cute colourful walls and random triangles on the ceiling. Also, you order by ticking things on a piece of paper, which the waiters then come around and collect! 
All in all, a cute and cheap cafe with good/filling food, large serves and nice bubble tea.
RATING:  ♥♥♥♥♥ (make of this what you will)

I highly recommend it!

What is going on inside my head.

At the end of Japanese class today, Inaba-sensei asked if someone could help her carry her stuff up to the fourth floor. Instantly, Stooph raised her voice and said "Daniel wants to!" (or something along the lines of that).

Anyway, Inaba asked in Japanese while we (1) were in the lift whether I had studied Japanese before. I said I had not...because I had not. Then (for whatever reason) she said my Japanese was good (referring to spoken 日本, since she had not seen our tests yet).

Inaba then asked student O the same thing, to which O replied "I haven't before but i've watch j-dramas, listen to j-pop (i think) and also enrolled in a jap school recently". I also noted that Inaba never said O's Japanese was good, for whatever reason (again, referring to spoken japanese).

At this point I realized that I could have said 'I watch a whole lot of anime' as a better response, since it would seem odd that I could speak well without ever hearing a word of Japanese. If she complimented me first, then asked if I had studied Japanese I would probably have said I watched anime.

While I was thinking about this, Inaba and O were having a good conversation about a certain j-pop singer (2), so I couldn't butt in and say what was slightly annoying to me.

I even thought about it later, to the point where I was deciding whether I should email her to tell her, then realized it would be stupid as most likely she wouldn't even remember about the fact in the first place.

I also ran the situation in my mind that I had actually said "I haven't , but I watched a lot of anime" and realized that I may have spoken with her about anime and not allowed O to speak about j-pop with the teacher.

Finally I settled on the fact that, if she was really thinking how weird it was that I could speak Japanese OK (3), then she would have asked specifically if i had gone to japan/listen to japanese music/watch Japanese media.

Anyway, the point of this banter is to have insight about the types of thoughts I have, and what i 'worry' about. And this is what I thought about today.　さよなら！

Notes:

1)(me and another student, 'O')

2)(again, i thought it was j-pop, i was too busy worrying about what had just occured)

3)(i'm pretty sure it's one of those social compliments, not a real one)

happy birthday wong

Currently at the residence of the Wongs. It is a castle-like manor/mansion on the Upper East Side, here in VCE-ville. Fun is to be had by playing cards/talking/drinking vodka (straight from the bottle I SAW YOU ****** [not wensi])/eating pizza/doing nothing/playing piano.

Excessive amounts of food fill this house. It is disturbing even for a food-obsessed girl such as myself.

Moving on from culinary delights of Wong's family...

I have been doing many wonderful things since returning from my eventless schoolies week. As you may have heard, very little of note occurred during my time in Sorrento, except that we were forced to pay large amounts of money as compensation for the "damages" we had inflicted on the lovely place we were staying at. Speech night was also fun, as were the preceding rehearsals. Weather has been fluctuating greatly, providing some excitement for us. VCE scores also came out. This was exciting for some, even those such as myself who do IB.

(RAMA GOT 99.95 WTH)

Yeah still can't get over it (neither can wensi) lol.

(sunday)
well well well. i thought i lost this post, but it seems that blogger has handily saved it. thank you, my friendly webpage!

So. It seems i shall not be here for a while, not that I have been on this blog much lately either. Apologies, my loyal fans. I would however encourage you to redirect your sights to Wensi's blog, where she seems to be writing cool nonfanfic. Other exciting things that have occurred lately are that i have discovered that I like Big Bang Theory (they were watching it at wong's house before everyone else turned up and started playing ssb, where sam kept beating vincent SORRYVINCENT) i think i may have provided too much information now so i shall stop.

(maths science history unravelling the mystery that all started with a big bang BANG!)

I also like Tina Fey.

ahem. goodbye.

the break up

you may have noticed that this blog is disgustingly inactive.


and why is this? you might ask.


as much as it pains me to make this announcement.. there has been a falling out, between myself and the other members of this blog. ah...when i say members i guess i really mean one member in particular, as in the only active one. if you can really call us active.


anyway. i just thought i would let everyone know.










..


okay sorry that was a joke. ahem. yes it was a rather bad joke, i am sorry.

wish me luck for my concerto tonight : (

I saw something better than this but i didn't have my camera with me....

I was in the car driving on the freeway, looking up at the clouds. There were clearly two layers of clouds, one more dark and brooding layer, while a higher layer was on top, closer to heaven. The sun shone through the top layer, and as we drove under the darker (bottom) layer, the perspective gave the impression that the dark layer was blanketing us.

Dad didn't notice but I did. I thought to myself, 'I should take a picture to capture this'...but i couldn't. A lack of camera, you see.

There was a much more three dimensional quality to the clouds that time than I had ever seen before.... Unfortunately i could not make any metaphorical links with this because nothing has happened recently which could connect to this.... perhaps the way school is a barrier to reaching what you truly want, the skies above? I do not know. Yes , ying, i am stealing your well used 'do not use a contraction for empasis' ability.

Something else I enjoyed today was the tristam town instrumental...here is a youtube link to it. It is from the second Diablo game, although it has featured in both games. It was written by Matt Uelmen.

Also I enjoyed the song "Temple of Shadows" by Angra. Youtube it or something i cbf getting a link.

Why am I being so weird in my blog post today? I don't know....I thought I had a cold again this morning but now it seems much better. Another excuse could be the 6 SACs (School Assessed Coursework...s) next week. I don't even feel depressed.... more distressed, with an impending sense of doom....a driving force which helps me do some work.... some work.... : (. I would work much better without VCAA (victorian certificate of my ass) on my back.

That reminds me, I was doing this physics question today and i was extremely uspset that I didn't get it. It made me, as commonly said, 'ragequit'. I may ....not rage quit, but tiredquit now, as this post is far too long for anyone to read to the end....er.. i mean i'm tired, i'm sure my writing is the purest form of bliss that humankind has ever witnessed.

New Years

This was originally posted on my own blog (Wongsta's) but I thought that you guys would like to read it. 

The plan was originally to do only two things:

1 - Go to Allens with my friend to buy a bday present
2- Go to party afterwards, which was a ‘cool’ party i was randomly invited to (had alcohol, decided not to drink cause i ddin’t want to lol)

This is what actually happened
We met at Allens at (1pm). After going to allens with ying to buy the present (~2pm)I followed her home as I had nothing to do for 6 hrs. I realised her mum wasn’t home, and was going to leave as being at her house alone would be very suspicious. Fortunately Stooph decided to go to her house before the party so i had a reason to stay (she was therea bout 3pm). We mainly played…truth or dare, and watched kung fu panda for one hour. It stopped at this point because the disc was bad. Then ying’s mum made some nice pasta for us to eat(about 6pm?).

Since her brother (Matt) was going to another party, he gave us a lift to the station(about 6 something?). He thought that station was on the line to the house, however it was not, so if we did infact take the train, we would have had to change lines. However, the two trains that were going to the city were completely full, due to new years.

Some random dude decided to vandalise the train because…he was angry that he couldn’t go on it? Some great citizen, however, stopped him by grabbing his marker. I decided to get my dad to pick me up, as otherwise we’d be stuck there for a long time waiting for a vacant train. We arrived at the party shortly after (7:30pm?), but it was quite bad since we didn’t know most of the people there. I didn’t drink anything. Apprently, after we ditched the party (~10:30pm) (after about an hour) some drunk dude came along and everyone talked to him.

We went looking for coffee, but none of the good shops were open. Instead, we went back to my house for coffee. At my house (~11pm), ying decided to wear my pants and shirt becuase the dress was cold. This fulfilled the former ‘pants party’ thing i put on facebook - that there would be a party in my pants on new years(~12am)! So unfortunately, i was only able to make two people, Stooph and Ying, come. To my house.

We made omelettes (with too much cheese) becuase….no reason. We watched the fireworks, and prank called a few people. Then they went home(~1am).

What an abrupt ending.
