Last week was hectic! Both Michelle and Keipin came over to Melbourne from Adelaide and Perth respectively. I'm glad I got to see them but I seriously need to whine about this - Why did they choose to visit when I have two assignments and a group presentation due?? -sulks. Not their fault, I know, but you know me. I heart whining.

22nd April 2006 SATURDAY
Michelle arrived! Went to Dino's house for a slumber party. It was more of a girl's night out due to the absence of Dino in his own house. Go figure. And this was the night Keipin called to say he was in Melbourne and the moment I knew my assignments were screwed.

That's Michelle holding a pot of barley for Dino on the tram to his house. Embarassing, i know. [Pic stolen from Chrys]

26th April 2006 WEDNESDAY
Watched Undercover Hidden Dragon with William, Keipin + his girlfriend. - -" Trust me, the movie is as bad as the name. It was Keipin's idea, ok!! But there were laughs in the movie, it's not as horrible as the review said it was.

28th April 2006 FRIDAY
Chadstone with Michelle, Chrystella and Chrystella's friend, Lara(I think).


Went home to discover that Keipin was in the process of cooking dinner for us! It was more of a horror than surprise. I mean, is his cooking skills as bad as his lame jokes?? -shudders. But it turned out fine. Forgot to take pictures of food due to me being in shock over how nice the Bak Kut Teh tasted. A tad too much pepper but that's the way I like it! In the end, there was too much food (cabbage with fried shrimps and marinated curry drumsticks) that I had enough leftovers for two more dinners. - -"

Caught the late night show of Final Destination 3. Sad to say, being the scaredy cat I am, I closed my eyes through out half the movie. It was disgusting!! Now I have a phobia for rollercoasters and tanning bed thanks to the movie. For some reason, I can endure gory movies like Hostel, Saw and House of Wax but FD3 is too much for me! Don't ask me why. Nikki's mind is in a realm of it's own and is highly incomprehensible at times.

Went to Cafe L'incontro for drinks. Ended up staying there till 5am-ish before going to the arcade at Chinatown.

That's Keipin playing Ghost Squad with 2 guns. - -" Needless to say, he gave up one of the gun after 5 minutes.


And Keipin's girlfriend, 雪兒. At least that's how I assume her name is written.

Near the cafe is a florist. I was actually quite symphathetic for the old man who was working there. It was 3am-ish and the shop was still open. I felt so bad for him that I bought a orchids from him. - -" I know, I know. William thought I was mad and just wasting my money. But he looked so bored there. And he has to stay open till Sunday morning!! The orchids were quite nice. $8.50 for the bunch.

My mom would like it. ^^ My bluish-purple orchid...

29th April 2006 SATURDAY
Yum cha at Shark Fin House with William, Keipin + his girlfriend, Dino, Michelle and Chrystella. Last day to hang out before they leave. -sobs.

And that was it. My adventures of the week! Back to the humdrum of assignments and classes and pretty soon exams. -sighs. Can't wait for the mid-semester break. Trying to get Keipin to vist Melbourne again then we can go up to Adelaide to visit Michelle, Kenny and Joein!
