Congratulations Debora!

Hi people,

I'm in the library right now. I've been here for 10 hours straight and my butt is hurting right now. 

To be honest, I spent roughly 4 hours wandering around the internet and only spent the rest on books and lecture notes, eventhough I wasn't really focused because I was chatting with my friends most of the time.

Yesterday i went to the city after church and met up with Pinka. 

We were planning to eat in Sahara because we wanted to try something new ..

We're a bit sick of eating the same cuisine over and over again.

We were so excited but then when Pinka got there (I was just about to reach Melbourne Central Station), the restaurant was closed for renovation !

And guess what, it will re-open on the first day of my exam. Dang it.

We ended up eating Asian food again. Pffttt..
Pinka ate an individually portioned hot pot, while I ate sweet and sour pork on rice that tasted a bit off pudding for me. 

Pinka's hot pot was quiet nice though. With $12.5, you get quiet a lot of meat, veggies and fish balls, tasty broth in a pot, a bowl of rice and a drink! 

Mine was only $8.5, but I prefer having what Pinka had. Mine was such a waste of money.

I didn't even take a picture of it. I was too dissapointed!

*****

We did our forgotten-annual purikura ritual before I went home too~

I have too many purikura pictures with Pinka -_-' 
We didn't know how to decorate our purikura anymore. 

We ran out of ideas already!

I look like a monkey on some of the pictures. 

Probably because there are shadow spots on my face (or I'm just fugglyy)

********************

 This morning I received a really cool email from Sportsgirl, saying that I won a book by Pip Lincolne , "Make Hey While the Sun Shines" ! 

It's a book filled with 25 DIY projects which sounds pretty cool.

I will have something to do this holiday! yey!

The last time I won something from a giveaway was a Dora scooter back in elementary school, and that was a long time ago. So this was a pretty refreshing experience :) 

Can't wait til the book arrive at my house!

 

Oh, not long ago, I also won a perfume from a photography contest held by Karamel Magazine. 

Mine is the one on the right. 

It was taken at my friend's apartment in the city, with no tripod. I put my camera on the balcony's fence ..

It was pretty scary nonetheless.

I haven't received the perfume yet, but I'm just happy to be back in the game for once!

Uni life have been hectic, good thing I have my friends that always stupidly entertain me. hah.

ps. It's still pretty weird to have people calling me by my real name -_-'

 I'm used to hear people calling me "Deby", but not "Debora"

"Itu untuk lelaki"

Hello.

I stayed at friends place last night and now I'm blogging from her laptop. ha.

Yesterday was fun, minus the classes I had in the morning. They were boring as usual.

I have a group assignment due in a week but my friend and I haven't done anything. doomed !

Anyway, after class I went straight to the city, my friend Pinka wanted to attend Indonesian Film Festivals Actors Meet & Greet at Ramenya. 

Like a good friend I am, I decided to accompany her (well, actually I just want to go to the city. haha).

It says on the poster that the event will be held at 6pm, since it's Ramadhan month and most people, including my friend are fasting.

We decided to meet up at Monster Threads, because I wanted to buy a watch there but the store was closed for lunch -_-' So after we meet up, we went to Southgate instead.

We went to a store where they sell various items for dancers.

My friend love to dance, she joined Flare Dance program at her school so she needs some things for her upcoming performance. 

Look what I found there !! 

Unbearably cute T_T 

Tiny little ballet shoes gaaaahhhh

After Southgate, we went back to Monster Thread and they're open, thank God.

They have the cutest display for the watches. So colorful!

I was browsing the watches section of the store since they have tons of color and it was really hard for me to decide which color should I take. 

I was rambling with my friend in Indonesian we were like..

"Warna apa nih!?" = "What color should I take!?"

"Eh yang ini lucu!" = "Hey this one is cute!"

"Eh bentar, yang ini lebih lucu!" = "Wait, THIS one is more cute!" , etc.

I tried the medium sized watch and since it's a rubber watch, it slides smoothly but it was too loose.

When I tried the small one, it was a bit hard to get it on but when it fits perfectly on my wrist. 

I was unsure whether to take the S or M one, and then I started rambling in Indonesian again.

Suddenly the lady at the store said..

"Yang itu untuk lelaki" = "That one (size M) is usually for men"

My friend and I were shocked. 

The lady who work in the store can speak Indonesian! And after a brief conversation, she said that her husband is Indonesian and her mom lives in Bali, that's why she speaks Indonesian.

It was my first encounter with a local who speaks Indonesian, pretty cool (and random) !

Pinka also chip in for it, since she hasn't bought me a birthday present. haha

Look! The packaging is like a canned tuna

In the end, I got the olive colored watch in small :)

We wander around to kill time and then at 5 we went to Melbourne University because Pinka got an interview to join Indonesian Student Association. 

I met my other friends there too, I even met 2 of my seniors from high school.

It was really awkward for me because I'm the only Deakin student there...

My friends name was called a bit late so we rushed to Ramenya as soon as she finished her interview. 

But when we got there... 

There were no signs of life, just random people eating. Bummer~

My friend was a bit disappointed at first, but she's fine. haha. Nothing serious.

corn cheese!

half-half chicken ($30)

We went to a small Korean restaurant in Little Lonsdale for dinner. 

We ordered their famous fried chicken (original + sweet chilli), corn cheese and a bottle of soju. 

Like a boss. 

The portions were huge so we ended up taking some chicken and corn cheese home.

Last but not least! 

It's been awhile since our last purikura !

Phew.. Did I talk too much?
