I’m still alive!

Just came back from a really hectic day at work, it was just crazy. First, we were understaffed (as usual), but didn’t think it’d be quite so bad because it’s a Sunday, and who goes out to buy food on Sunday right? But for some reason, we were either busy, or constant, so there was no rest. Was disturbed even during my half an hour break and ended up taking a 10 minute break instead. After working a 9 hour shift on Friday, a 10 hour shift on Saturday, and this 7 hour shift on Sunday, I’ve just about had it with work and gave my 7 hour shift tomorrow to my friend, who didn’t have enough hours (even though I’m supposed to be saving up for Japan, I think… life is more important, haha, I’d like to survive these few weeks first before going to Japan)

Now I’m back at home, with an essay to write, and a final exam this Wednesday to study for, before stuvac, where I have two exams to study for. Decided to procrastinate and start a blog entry… hoping I can find something happy to get into the mood of writing an essay. Actually craving sleep… been running on all sorts of caffeine lately. Since someone brought in lemons to the tearoom at work, I’ve been making lemon tea all the time. 2 strong teabags infused into one small Styrofoam cup of hot water, two tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 slices of lemon (those lemons were huge). Repeat 3 times (which means I’ve actually been drinking 6 teabags of tea per day that I work, on top of the occasional “Mother” energy drink, or coffee, which I had this morning, and the many cups of Chinese tea I have when I get home)

Went to the omurice place at World Square, and had real lemon tea there, which brought about this whole phase of authentic, home-made lemon tea.

Though I tend to have it hot, because there’s no time to chill it, and I don’t trust the ice made in the freezer that’s in the tearoom.
Rewinding back, a week ago I had dinner with my brother at Café Insomnia. Strange thing is, it’s at Penno and I never went in there before that. That day, we were waiting to go home together, and the next bus came in more than an hour’s time, so we went inside and had dinner. My brother’s open steak sandwich:

And my tortellini with bacon and mushroom

For dessert, we rushed this, so we didn’t really get to enjoy it much, but it was still pretty good:

Some sort of cheesecake~ with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (on the other side, so you can’t see it) and raspberry sauce squiggled on the plate.
I think I’ll make this a food blog entry, mainly, since food cheers ppl up right?

From Ten Ren again (fast becoming one of the best places to just chill out) and this is their green tea flavoured pork rice noodles.

Not getting sick, it was just that day. Was feeling really off and my friend TT got me some medication (thank you~ really appreciate it). Took a night tablet when I got home and KO’d for about 10 hours… most sleep I’ve gotten in months.
Bought myself a new fantasy book, recommended by my dear friend J.C, who is also an avid fantasy book reader. She was the one who got me into reading fantasy books actually, lending me “The Immortal Prince” by Jennifer Fallon and getting me hooked (before that I would only read crime fiction).

Pretty good so far. Good procrastinating material!

This… is a flurry of brown and yellow fur, an attempt at taking a photograph of the cat wandering around Mackey building at uni on Friday. It was raining outside, and cold, so it took refuge inside the building where I was about to have my tut in. It wasn’t scared of girls (but it was scared of guys) so I was able to give it a hug =) Very cute, but ended up getting fur all over my black jacket. Hm.

Steak at Star World. This is their certified Angus steak. Star World is another place to just sit around and chat with a friend for hours. And yes, it is a bar, but as long as you don’t drink (or drink too much), and don’t go on… say, late Friday night or Saturday night, you’ll find it a pretty nice place. Steak was nice, with a choice of either mash or chips (yes, mash isn’t much healthier, but it’s nicer) and your choice of sauce (I chose cracked pepper) and it has fried pumpkin bits on top.

It was rare.

End off with something cute before I go start my essay… because I’m feeling guilty and should really be working on it.
