FIRST WEEK BACK | SUBJECTS | N2

heyhey, 

this post will be mainly comprised of life updates and less of food but yeahhhh lets get on with it! 

so first week back at school was a blur. 

• timetable was okay but not so good
• fell asleep in modern on day two
• fell asleep in english on day three - tried so hard to stay awake obviously couldn't even though the talk was really interesting 

but really- biggest thing was dropping out of 3 unit English. I have honestly been thinking about this for the past term after deciding to do 11 units but this holidays for me was spent on 3u english so much that I felt like i understood the unit so well and I liked my related text and it just feels like I could do so well. Plus I had Cathy who tutored me and I liked her approach to teaching and just feel so comfortable and at ease about the unit. 

But then someone else dropped it and told me the 'logic' to it. and I don't usually follow people's thinking and get swayed so easily but then i understood that there really was no point to doing the unit. 

i initially chose it as a 'safety net' unit to my other units. I was going pretty well at english to begin with from last year so I thought that if I was to flunk out on any subject, english might pull me up. But thinking about it again, if I really desperately want a 99+ i gotta do well for all my subjects regardless so in a way, I really don't have a safety net with that 1 unit. 

so even though i enjoy it, why waste time when I already have modern, textiles and 4u maths. 

so yeah, went to see harrison and changed and told cathy who was really supportive but arghh!

I don't know why but I'm feeling both good and bad at the same time. 

But yeah- knew that i'd be feeling shit today so went out in the arvo with the others to get N2.

best fucking decision ever. 

my babies

so we got the 

FERRERO REVEAL ($8) - left- fucking beauty the gelato had nuts in it and its dipped with a top layer of choco & nuts like ferrero roche style with a syringe with choc ganash on it and a wafer 

ICED LEMON CHOINESE TEA SORBET ($6) - middle- it melted quickly because of the weather but it was so refreshing huehuehue

MATCHA ARUKI ($6)- right- green tea gelato with red bern omfg yes

so the two $6 flavours were specials because of Chinese New Year so that was pretty cool, and most of the shops around the city had special CNY stands so it just makes it a whole lot cooler. 

EXCITED TO GO OUT ON SUNDAY NIGHT FOR MORE CNY FESTIVITIES!

but yeah, now gotta prep for tmrs 6hrs of maths with terry lee or another 3 fucking terms cry. 

ICE SKATING | FESTIVAL | JAPFOOD

Reaaaally good day today.
A couple of us went out for our last fun trip before hsc year.
Firstly went ice skating and faced my biggest fear. Have not gone back to that place ever since year 6 and fell on my butt and spent the whole time on the wall.
So at first it was fucking hideous and then it got better and ended up being able to skate off the wall solo for a while hahahahas. didn't fall off my buuuuttt! i think thats all that matters HAHAHAHS. 

Then went to sydney fest at hyde park at the messina stall. Sooo fucking good omfg.

So we got the Twist Hot Dog, which was: a milk chocolate gelato hot dog, served in a warm finger bun with essential condiments passionfruit 'mustard', raspberry 'ketchup' and buttercream 'mayo', and coconut 'onions'. It was okay, we didn't like it much hahas. 

Messinaweiner (Pluto Pup)- baton of mapon syrup gelato coated in pancake batter, deep fried and crispy- dipper in plum sauce. 

Soooo fucking good omfg i saw this on a blog and made a mental reminder to get it. sososos good. 

GELATOFFEE APPLES- green apple sorbet, with a caramel milk chocolate glazed candy apple red finish 

Soooo good too! its hard to bite in cause its so cold but yeah so good speechless. 

EYESCREAM LOLLYPOPS- redskin, banana and pop rocks. 

So if you don't know me I'm a sucker for pop rocks and this is just totally awesome. The lollypop looks real good with its pink/yellow swirl and at the back there's a plate of banana pop rocks which is just superb. 

Then went to Kansai and did the all you can eat and had so much sushi and just died in ecstasy. So yeah, don't expect a good pic cause everyone was eatting so much we didn't have a chance to take any ahahahs. this all you can eat 'buffet' isn't like any other normal buffet you'd go to where you'd come out to a stalls of food and pick your portions. It works like a normal restaurant where you'd order plates that have a set price. Yet if you get the $29.50 buffet option you can pretty order as much as you want. overall, pretty good. I've been eatting clean and smaller portions for the last few weeks so i was pretty full by the halfway mark but still kept eatting cause there's so much food and the group wanted to eat more than our price's worth. 

( 6 kids = $180 omfg) 

 their sushi is nice but they overprice every dish, which makes you think that you're eatting more than you paid when it's really not true. For example, one sushi roe nigiri (which tasted crap) was $3 for one! like one piece of cut up sushi roll. so yeah, pretty smart of them. 

Other than the sushi roe nigiri and some soba noodles with the sauce that taste like water, everything was real good ( especially their 'spider' sushi set (crab inside out sushi) ) 

First time in a while i actually went in a food coma where i felt so sleepy on the train and had a food 'walk of shame' to the car. (when you feel bloated and have a food baby)

 Going back home to figure out tina had apple cider for me hehehehehehe.

Good daaaaaay :))
