What the hell is a flying green song-rabbit?!

Grongbit (GReen sONG rabBIT) is the result of our nicknames combined. "Our" meaning the three founding authors. The flying comes from our guest-turned-permanent blogger, Butterfly Coffin.

And yes, rabbits can too fly, sing and be green.

Unmotivated

It seems there's so many instances of me being unmotivated I might as well classify my whole life as unmotivating...

Anyway lately I feel like I'm in such a rut. I don't see my friends much, I'm not working, I'm not studying, I'm not exercising, I'm not doing anything much. Now I could selfishly shift the blame on to my crush who takes up too much of my time, my boss for not giving me any shifts, my lack of textbooks available this semester, enertia for making me not want to move and general holiday mood for everything else.

But.

I keep having this little voice tell me that I have to grow up now and stop complaining as much, whining and being generally annoyed at life.

While everyone else is getting internships, having multiple jobs and what not I've been living off previous earnings. I need a job, seriously. (Let's hope this isn't another one of my phases again...) Okay lets me realistic this time then. I want to get a job or an internship or volunteer work this semester. But I know some places aren't really recruiting right now so I'm going to promise that I will get a Christmas job to earn money all through uni next year. This may seem far away actually >.>. But yeh something.... The one reason besides laziness which has prevented me from doing this though is the lack of time then I'll have to spend with my crush. But I gotta start sometime.

Also I WILL attempt to apply for Youth Allowance. (And finish, even if I fail)

I will also get a driving instructor which seems quite important now especially if I move, I will really need to know how to drive. I will have some intensive more than once a week lessons which I will back up with lessons from dad.

I FINALLY today went to get my own medicare card and the other day I finally got my own debit mastercard (WOOT!)

I WILL finish the two agriculture reports and do a good job in the nutrition assignment and be more prepared, assignment/assessment wise, for the rest of this term.

I have decided before I have completed these tasks any big purchases will be put on hold until the end of the year. It's back to budgeting my weekly spendings and timetabling my days to avoid procrastination.

That skinfold test also scared me about the amount of body fat I am carrying so I think I should exercise more....

I also need to visit the dentist. All you ex- braces/new-braces wearing people have me considering braces now. That invisalign (?) thing. Does anyone know for sure that it isn't covered my private health care? If it's not I'll need to consider some considerable monetary damage. Hmm is my teeth that bad T_T

Cheers to a new (hopefully) more responsible, mature me.

I'll get back to you guys by the end of this week to see how much of this I have started!

I need some motivation people!!

MOTIVATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm...

Went to Luna Park today with family for a jolly Good Friday!

How did you guys spend yours?

I just wanted to say... I really love my hair right now wtf. >.>

I was about to take a shower when I decided to admire my long hair in the mirror and take a few photos. Please allow me a few moments to be narcisstic.




I think I've converted, I like this a million times beter than dead straight hair. Don't get me wrong I am not stopping straightening my hair but I've just curl it slightly myself after so it's not too dead straight.

Okay now the question is..... should I dye it an even lighter colour? I want something caramel/golden brown colour rather than the reddish hue I have now.


Also should I consider getting contacts when I next go to the optometrist? I am sorta getting sick of changing glasses to sunnies all the time and getting smudge marks on my glasses all the time. But the most annoying thing is the fact that my glasses don't fall right on my nose and so the top of the frame cuts off 1/4 of my eyes (I believe I've mentioned this countless times). So should I just get new frames that don't slide off? Or is my lack of a nose bridge from the asian genetic factor doom me to always have glasses that half fall off? And hence should I get contacts???

I reckon I look weird without glasses though. Like there's too much skin visible ON MY FACE. And too less eyes covering my face. AND it becomes more visible that my eyes are weird sized/shaped etc etc.

So what should I do???


This picture is so freaky man seriously. I didn't like how less room my eyes occupied on my face, (especially how I have deluded myself into thinking my eyes aren't so small since I look at myself at about 3cm away from the mirror when I have no glasses on) so I decided to cover half my face with hair... and then not smile cuz smiling makes me squint!! result is this creepy picture O_O.

Btw Marweechi if you're reading this I had a dream you got your hand/arm chopped off. But I didn't do it I swear! I had a dream we were in ninja camp and the last level was a real fight to become a true ninja (WTF???) and you got your hand/arm chopped off in the fight. And I think me or minglez was up next but I woke up and didn't see if they passed the exam thingo or not. Actually I dunno if you passed the ninja exam either considering you lived minus a limb...

Anyway sorry I am rambling...

Oh also today I came home to find this request in my fb/email:

Hmm.....?

Life in Motion

For those of you who don't know yet or haven't spoken to me in awhile, I recently started to polish off my CV because next semester I am doing an internship course that requires me to find my own host organisation to work at.

I emailed the coordinators to get all the info, chatted to uni friends and basically mused about it for awhile until I got the green light. I then sent my resume off as soon as I was allowed to and hoped for the best.

There were many confusing things about the internship program, mostly because it wasn't very clear. A friend of mine who already had done 2 internships agreed that at first she was very confused.

But I finally got that sorted (with a lot of help) and did some research on agencies in Sydney. Mostly I was trolling job websites like seek.com and careerone.com. I also checked out my uni's job site but that was mostly pointless and didn't have what I wanted. In the end I decided to approach these companies myself to see if they have any space for me.

So last Wednesday I spent all afternoon typing up a convincing cover letter/email and sent my resume to one of the best, award winning advertising media agencies in Australia. Too late! Already clicked send! I just had to hope that all my research and stalking paid off. The name of this agency had popped up a fair amount of times in my lectures, just in the background.

The following morning for that lecture we watched a video for an award ceremony in France where a few representatives from the best ad agencies attended. Lo and behold, one of the gold winners were from Australia, from the very company I applied for!

A part of me thought that I would be rejected, or that it would be awhile before they contacted me to tell me that I was rejected. I was resigned to that possibility already, but hey it doesn't hurt to try right? After all, I put Fort Street as my first or second choice for selective believing that I most likely wouldn't get in and I almost did.

After the lecture while doing homework in the library I got a call; they wanted to meet me for a position in their subsidiary, newly launched just last year. Wow, I was stoked. I was so excited I was jumping up and down in the library ignoring stares people were giving me. Granted, it was the exact job I wanted but it's within the same company! A GOOD company, an AWARD WINNING company.

Had my interview on Friday and they wanted me to start as soon as possible. It is going to be a long internship, but I already feel successful and I keep dreaming about what my life is going to be like now.

I feel like my life is moving forward instead of falling stagnant.

I also feel terrified; my marks for advertising haven't been extremely good. It's like Advanced English, as much as I love it I was never really good at it. It's strange for me. I'm scared because the ad subject I'm doing this semester isn't going so well, mark-wise. I'm really pissed that my group is dodgy because I thought the hot guy who works at a well-known agency was good at his job, but apparently he's not the most brilliant. Oh he works hard alright, there's just no point to all that research he's done in relation to the brief.

Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree. Perhaps I shouldn't do advertising and should do PR instead (got 2 distinctions in it). Perhaps it's a sign that for all my core advertising subjects I'm stuck with mediocre people; first year, my partner left the class so the major assignment was done alone, second year my whole group wasn't advertising majors and didn't understand some things I was talking about and now third year, ARGH WHY DIDN'T HE LISTEN TO ME AND USE MY POINTS FOR THE WORK.

On another note, I recently finished reading Animal Farm that Midori lent to me.

This is the exact same copy she had.


Lets just say that I should've read this ages ago. It is good. I've started on 1984 but only a few pages, not as interesting as Animal Farm.

Guess what I got...

Please allow me to indulge and be spoilt for this post!

So yesterday I had a lesson off at Uni in the afternoon and decided I wanted to go see the Artexpress with my crush. We went by a watch store on the way and as I'd been on the lookout for a new watch since Christmas time went inside for a quick look not expecting to find anything.

Daddy had promised to get me a new watch as I have spent somewhere in the vicinity of $80-$90 trying to repair my ancient at least 10year old automatic Sieko watch. Being very upset at the fact that it seemed irrepairable, my parents decided my dad will buy me a nice new watch. Not the markets $10 type watch a real nice one.

So I took them to Gregory and they decided NO Chanel, NO Omega, NO Longines.

Lol maybe I scared them a little with my definition of nice! XD

Anyway I went into the watch store and saw a beautiful watch... like omfg. I want! The watch face was a bit big for my liking but I decided to take a look anyway. I put it on and was hooked! The fact that it was discounted to about where my dad said was acceptable and the pretty elegant design got me hooked.

Sadly it was 1pm in the afternoon and I could not call my dad to confirm whether I could buy it or not as I could not really recall if it was within my dad's price range. So the sales assistant said he will reserve it for me for an hour and I can pick it up later if I was really set on it.

He put it in an envelope for me and we went off to AGNSW to see the Artexpress.

Artexpress had some interesting artworks but they mostly had similar themes. It seems always that at least one of the artworks has to be about aboriginal heritage, sexism, feminism, racism, teenage emoness, globalisation, poverty, cultural heritage, music, individuality etc. I swear every year, all the works embody at least one of those themes.

I'm not saying the artwork isn't all of excellent quality but it gets a bit repetitive.

We were hungry by then so we went down the escalators to the gallery restaurant to have a quick lunch. I felt so classy sitting outside looking at the view while eating expensive food at the art gallery. then again we were wearing thongs and backpacks and paint splattered shorts and singlets haha.

So at lunchtime I gave a call to my mum who told me to just get the damn watch. Mummy is so nice!

So we walked back to the watch store and the guy had left it reserved although he said he was only going to reserve it for one hour. One swipe of the card and some boxing later and the beauty is mine!




Watch in box.


Pretty watch!


It's so hard taking photos of it cuz my light was blanking out the screen. It's a Citizen Eco Drive watch, 100m water resistant. The back is mother of pearl and 24 diamonds pave the outer rim of the watch.


See so pretty yeh??

It's my pride and joy atm and with 5 years warranty I'll be wearing it for the longest time.

Today

Today, I saw my elderly next-door neighbours having lunch and afternoon tea together in their backyard while I was searching for an onion to make a tuna and carrot salad recipe by Harumi Kurihara.

The image put a smile on my face.

Today was a beautiful day, and it really was.

Charcoal Mine 6-12-09

Sorry guys I've been so busy lately working and then being too tired to do anything else after besides watching Glee so I haven't posted as I promised. Since the last organised event without Serena was the Korean BBQ I shall blog about that first although I still haven't posted photos from the vvn and S birthday party.

We went to Charcoal Mine which at first I thought was the original Korean BBQ place we went to before but turns out it is quite far from the train station. Luckily Josh was kind enough to pick me up from home and take me there. Food was all on Shu who was kind enough to sponsor us with his swear jar money.


Actual charcoal which had the disadvantage of not being evenly hot so stuff was burnt or undercooked.


Lots of plates of food!



Marweechi and Kebu sat opposite me while Corwee sat next to me on one side and Josh sat on my other side.

We had so many people (like 18?) we had to be split into 2 tables.


Kebu squinting XD


Grilling octopus (i swear this gave me food poisoning or the chicken)


VVn joined our table for a bit.


After eating quite a bit we went over to the other table to ind the boys cooking this MASSIVE amount of squid (I think they added calamari to it later as well) They managed to finish it ALL.


The other table: Norman, Quach, Shu (I have another photo of Shu!), Ray, VVn, Simon, Steven, Richard.


Steven unhappy without minglez. Actually he was telling me to eat that plate of cooked meat because he couldn't stomach any more meat lol.


A more complete photo of the table.


Table I was on. The 4 guys you don't recognise are D's Uni friends.

Yes there was something like 4 girls.... Corwee, Marweechi, vvn and me that's it.

Afterwards we didn't know what to do and we were in the middle of nowhere. Luckily we had about 4 cars so we drove to maccas. Actually ray and Josh drove the rest said it was within walking distance so they walked.

We went to Maccas and gathered lots of money and told Simon to go to the counter alone and buy 54 soft serve cones.

Yes much talk later we got the 54 soft serve cones served to us slowly 4 at a time.


Corwee enjoying the first one.


Eww Josh openned his mouth!


Some still waiting...


Josh was trying to give me some look or another.. then decided against it hence the weird face lol.


Only some of the cones. Couldn't wait for all of them to take a picture together as they started to melt!


Everyone eating away (and another photo of Shu!)


Look at Marweechi's face lol.


Corwee eating 2 at once cuz they were melting.


The um ice cream cone dragon? We were suppose to have 3 each but Norman ate SEVEN yes 7 ice creams. So I only had two (although at first I insisted on eating just one).


The head of the dragon with Pocky tongue.

After Maccas Shu insisted on going Driving Range at Olympic park but a few of us didn't really want to go but had nothing else we wanted to do anyway so we all got into the respective cars and went. Once we got there though some of us (mainly corwee, kebu, quach, josh and I) didn't really want to go in. We stayed outside sitting on Quach's car boot and rocking it for ages kicking dirt and not really going anywhere.

After a while Marweechi came out because she needed to go to her Auntie's place to help with the computer so I decided I'll go with her as well and we waked back to the train station (In my 12cm heels!!).

I heard the guys went home after driving range anyway.

That's all!

Oh and the next day I had very mild food poisoning (felt like puking, dizzy and my stomach didn't feel so food but didn't vomit or have diarrhoea)

I shall update some other time...

Albuquerque Eats

EDIT: Now with photos!


Hey guys! Been away doing...not much actually. Last Friday I was invited by N's roommate/best friend/coworker's parents for dinner and had tacos and chili con carne on tortilla chips, though I wish it went with rice like it's supposed to.

And their house and abso-fucking-awesome. It's a decent sized house and it sits on a small hill, and one storey. Their living room opens up to 6 panels of glass windows that has a view of nearly all of Albuquerque. After dinner I was taken on a tour of the house. The master bedroom was to die for; HUGE four poster bed with elegant carvings (the "dream bed" so his mother says) and the bathroom had a spa, shower stall and TWO walk-in closets!!!!

They also have 2 little dogs and a very old cat who was so cute and pretty and gorgeous I miss my Freya :( And they just got 2 kittens! - which I won't see until next week for another dinner with N's parents.

Garage was big enough to fit 3 cars...

I felt awkward making small talk with other people's parents, especially since they are N's employers xD

Saturday was spent playing boardgames with N and roomie. N won, again. We played Settlers of Catan and I kept losing and coming in last T_T

I then came down with something that night and I was supposed to go shopping and see City of Lights near the river but I wasn't up to it so it was another slow day watching drama, playing games and watching the Sunday football. Lots of beer to be had.

On Monday I was feeling heaps heaps better so I am fine guys. I am recovering and it wasn't serious after all. I used less heater around the house and my skin became less dry, which had been dying ever since I got here because of this super dry N wanted to take me to an Asian restaurant he's seen but never went to. He wants to try a lot of new things while I'm here. The restaurant, Jinja Bar & Bistro, actually served a variety of cuisine all over Asia, so there was a bit of everything there. I really wanted to try the Honey Plum tea which had hints of hibiscus and a fruity aftertaste but they don't serve that anymore :(

I just got an iced water. Oh yeah, the cups they have here are massive and most drinks are refilled for free. At least, the brewed tea I had at Spinn's was refilled for free. Unfortunately my stomach isn't as big as normal people and I can never ever finish my drink.

We had a booth with a view of the city (night view too, I'm seeing lots of pretty lights). The booth was squishy and had cushions! N didn't know it was going to eb this fancy xD And outside the window framing the view were baby bamboo trees.






I ordered fried dumplings/pot stickers which came with a "Shanghai" style sauce which turned out to be soy sauce, sesame oil and chili oil. Not bad. As you can see we ate most of them before I remembered to take photos -_- I saw sweet potato fries and just had to order them too xDDDD I LOVE SWEET POTATO FRIES!!!!!!!! Served with 3 dipping sauces, sweet chili, tomato and chili.




Mr. N had the Shaking Beef and I had the Heavenly Beef. Gah, I couldn't decide on what I wanted to eat so chose anything. It was pretty good, though not as Asian tasting as I thought lol. But oh my god...the beef...the beef was...so good...



There was a cucumber salad marinated in probably wine vinegar and sugar, a sweet and tangy sauce and pineapple with 2 beef and capsicum skewers and ginger fried rice.

Did I mention the beef was so buttery soft and squishy and just melts in your mouth and it is the most tender beef I have ever eaten? I was medium rare and just perfect and delectable and so GOOD. I couldn't stop telling N how impressed I was with the beef xDD




The whole place was suave and classy; old songs and dimmed lighting, decor with a distinct Asian accent and of course, chirpy waitresses as is typically American (you gotta hand it to them, they have very good customer service).

Apparently it snowed overnight and N woke me up and dragged me outside to see it. Then I went back to sleep until 2pm wtf.

Watching Glee makes me want to eat Cheerios.

Tomorrow I'll be doing what I was supposed to be doing on Sunday.

Food and Tourism in Sydney

When Mr. N was here, we spent most of our time doing touristy things but also eating all kinds of food and killing his tastebuds. This will be an extensive review on all the restaurants and cafes that we went to, at least, whatever I remember of it. It has been a month ago!

Oh did I say extensive? I meant, LONG TO READ.

Day 1 consisted of wandering around Royal Botanical Gardens while we wait for our room to be ready and cleaned. This took ages, plus N's luggage got lost in transit and was currently sitting on the other side of the world in either Los Angeles or San Francisco *fail*

We were both not hungry until dinner in which I thought it would be a good idea to play it safe and go to Pepper Lunch. Boy, did I underestimate his deprivation. He wasn't too fond of Pepper Lunch even though he said it was "okay", I take that as a not okay T_T

He prefers Indian curries. I have to agree with him, although Thai ones are pretty good too.

For some reason I didn't take a photo of breakfast but oh well. It might have been at Pancakes on the Rocks. Personally, I am not fond of POTR. I never finish my pancakes because it's just so overwhelming, even the smallest plate. That morning I had a savoury breakfast pancake meal and I must say, I don't like my eggs benedict. I thought I did - poached egg smothered in Hollandaise sauce and bacon served with a hashbrown and pancake, yum! - but I tried it and it was just horrid. Maybe they just make a bad eggs benedict, but I am not going there again unless it's for pizza or sharing a sweet pancake. They make nice crispy pizzas just the way I like them.

So the first photo of food I have (other than Pepper Lunch, which is boring you all have been there) was at the Chinese Garden of Friendship at Darling Harbour. The little teahouse they have there is called The Teahouse.


Scones with whipped cream and jam, jasmine tea pot (at the back) and...and...oh dear, I forgot what tea I had. Pu-er! A "black tea with an earthy flavour". Either way, it was a good way to introduce hot, Asian teas to the boy (who only ever drinks iced tea unsweetened) which he liked! I are happeh! He got used to it by the end of the trip :)

The scones were still quite warm but it was a freezing cold day so they got cold fast. However I managed to load on the cream and jam and savour the fluffiness of the scone. Mmmm, seriously is heavenly and oh so good! I must search for a cafe that sells cheap but perfectly fluffy and hot scones with plenty of jam and cream!

A little birdy flew by our table and started pecking at the crumbs so N threw our leftover scones and it came closer and closer! It was sweet.




He also threw some into the pond and a ton of koi were jumping over each other and going crazy for them. Then a really territorial duck came and stole all the crumbs and when another duck came it chased it away! What a story!

All true by the way.



Look at the sh*tload of koi.

Then look at the sh*tload of clothes the boy brought over. WTF! He has more tops than I do WTFWTF!




Presents! I got a box of Twinkies ohoho and Porkie got Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories which is not available in Australia and I had to ask for a big favour for N to get it. Don't ask why Porkie got a better present than me, life is unfair sometimes.




So the next day I felt pretty sick and needed some Asian comfort food so it was off to the nearest Chinese restaurant for congee! N took one look at the century egg and went no effing way not eating that T_T I kept jeering him over it, how it tastes soooo good despite how it looks and he was a chicken for not trying it. He didn't even give it a chance! Judging based on looks!



Then a couple of nights later Poh used century egg on Masterchef and said "I can't believe my ancestors ate this stuff" and N looked at me pointedly T_T

Life hates me grr.

Yes I did go to the Sydney Aquarium to see the dugong!




For dinner that night, right before Masterchef came on we went to Hurricane's Grill since the last time I went for Minglez' birthday it was quite good.


Scallops in peri-peri sauce and cauliflower puree, the same as last time and oh, just as good as I remembered! N, who avidly avoids all things seafood promised to try things and he ate it. As for liking, well, I think he was surprised but it's still tastebud overload. Poor thing. There was also herb bread (which is very good, hot and crispy), a lavender martini and beer. N wanted to try some Australian beers.



My fullrack half-and-half pork and lamb ribs. I wasn't sure which I wanted so N ordered for me and got the full rack! So much meat...I ended up taking it home with me.

Next day we walked down to Delafrance on George St for breakfast. Or brunch I should say.


Custom made roll and a hot chocolate (wuss) for Mr. N and a spinach and ricotta pastry with a chai latte for moi.




This chai latte is freaking awesome!!! A tad on the sweet side, but very frothy and creamy made at just the right drinking temperature too. A good amount of cinnamon on top to give it a lovely nutty kick.

Stop by at Delafrance for a chai latte, if you can stand the queues :)

The only thing I can complain about is the space. Very cramped little cafe and it's right on George so it's loud and crowded - not such great atmosphere. But do come for the food and drinks.

Oh random foods we had in our room. N loves his Mexican and was determined to make some 'authentic' guacamole the way he has it at home. He really wanted tortilla chips but we couldn't find any and had to settle for taco shells and Doritos.




Drinks and lots of them. And TimTams!




We were down at The Rocks Markets and brought these chocolate covered strawberries back, as well as cookies and cream icecream and macarons aka Delice from Lindt Cafe.


Dark, milk and white chocolate covered strawberries, icecream, vanilla and coconut macarons.

A little pricey for the strawberries but they are an indulgence! As for the icecream, extremely expensive and you can't really go wrong with cookies and cream. Lindt one had huge chunks of cookies embedded in it, yummers.

Will continue this next time, phew! One week down!

JAS-ed Party!

Today was the celebration of Johnson, Anna and Sherin's birthday.

THEY ARE STILL 19.

LIFE IS UNFAIR FOR THE OLD!

Anyway.

I slept in and arrived late.

All the food was gone.

Boo.

However we sitll managed to play some games, laugh, get burnt by the warm sun...

Before the BBQ though, I made macaroni and cheese for breakfast (good thing I did, I got hungry) and right as I was leaving the house I checked my mail to find this!!!!:




EEEKK!! My ebay item and my first* designer item of clothing!!!



Alannah Hill "Too Tired to Fake It Story", Size 10



100% silk with very delicate sequins. It's so pretty (to me anyway).



I immediatedly opened it and tried it on, but to my utter dismay found it to be too small!! I couldn't button it up properly mainly because I didn't want to stretch such a delicate top. It may be silk but it still feels fragile.

It actually didn't look so bad when I got home and tried it on with a camisole.




Picture makes me look fatter and uglier than it really is I swear T_T And it's still a bit too small. I suppose I will still wear it, but it won't look as nice as a size 12 or even 14.

Arriving extremely late to the party (I didn't realise they had pushed back the time for the party. You guys really made it last minute because I was on Facebook until like, 1-2am and still didn't see it T_T), I met JY and her friend on the bus. Sydney Buses made everyone get prepaid tickets which started last week so no more buying tickets from the bus driver during weekdays, but the people selling them at Belmore Park were so nice! I told them where I was going and they asked me if I was going to "the party" and I said yes and gave them my sweetest smile! They knew exactly what was going on :O They even told me which bus to take, and when it came they shouted for me to hurry and run to catch it! So nice! I ran for it and waved back at them.

Why can't all bus drivers/security/people in this field be like this mah T_T

Well, after squelching through grass and mud at Centennial Park I arrived and made Maria wave frantically and look like an idiot =p

And then there was Twister. And with it, a multitude of giggles.




Lucky Vivian there had another shirt underneath.

Then things got a bit more complicated.




And more complicated LOL. Wow that is an awesome leg twist.







They always look adorable.

Whereas Maria hates taking photos and would rather CLAW YOUR FACE RAAAWWRRR!!



Wtf.

Awkward posing because he doesn't know what else to do but wave.




I called out to Lily and she looked up, gave me a sheepish smile. Her expression clearly says "uh...are you taking a photo of ME?".




Maria soaks up some much needed sun. And felt like being a starfish.





Then we played pass-the-parcel, dare style. The had an ipod hooked up to a speaker and practically 3 parcels filled with dares that people had to do. Most of them involving wasabi.

This is one of the birthday girls being terrified of her own game. Lol poor Sherin.



And then it stopped at Denise but she threw it quickly at Soondoos so they decided to share it.




They had to eat marshmallows off "the tree". Easy. Denise cheated and used her hand.



Way to go Soondoos!

Ok everyone, meet this guy:




The first brave, brave soldier who did his extreme dare faithfully unlike SOME people. Eating wasabi from bread is not that brave.

Eating a whole, raw onion, is something.

Mystery guy whose name I don't know, I applaud you for sticking to the rules.

Viet-in-a-tree. He had to hug it, but instead he climbed it too o_O




Guy number 2. His dare: hump the person to your right = Sherin HAHAHAHA. He refused to do it.






In the end, someone hailed him to his feet and dragged and dumped him on top of Sherin. She looked quite uncomfortable after =/

Then after presents and the pinata, I went home with B and Maria :D

Oh, one more thing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA AND SHERIN (AND JOHNSON)!!
