Hahaha don't ask me why I did that. I'm just too bored. Heck, I'm even bored of using the word bored, omg how stupid is that. I NEED TO DO SOMETHINGGGGG.
No, watching shows on my computer or sleeping or watching TV doesn't count as 'doing something'.
I'm still waiting for my university offer letter to arrive in the mail.. Honestly, if its one thing that I absolutely loathe about Aussies, it would be the speed at which they do things. Its been more than a week and I still haven't gotten the letter. And the Welcome Festival for international students starts next Monday. Not that it will be of any use to me, but still! I wish Aussies could work faster and more efficiently, seriously. I think I would've gotten the letter much faster if I had gone to collect it from the Health Science faculty in the main campus myself. Bloody snails.
Well, the most exciting thing that I did so far this week was meeting Cammie in the city yesterday for tea. She brought me to the Lindt chocolate cafe on Collins Street, and we had macarons and ice chocolate. Omg the macarons there are absolutely sublime. If you think that the macarons that Canele in Singapore serves are good, wait till you try those at Lindt. They're not too sweet and the almond meringue is light and literally melts in your mouth. Although the price doesn't exactly look very nice.. But I guess its the price to pay for the quality and joy that eating Lindt's macarons brings. Cammie had a vanilla flavoured macaron while I ordered the strawberry flavoured one. The strawberry macaron was simply fantastic.. And within the ganache filling were real strawberry seeds and when you chewed on it, it was like chewing real strawberries. Ahhh it was soooo good!! Didn't take any pictures of the ones that we had, but I'll definitely take some and show you guys the next time I go. There are in total 12 flavours, and I just wish that I could afford to get all of them at one go haha. Macarons totally make me happy. :DD
But apart from the heavenly macarons, catching up with Cammie was great too. Its amazing how God has placed the both of us in each others lives again after being apart for so many years! And to think we were best friends in Primary 1 and 2, before she left Singapore. And Cammie has such great memory.. Had a good laugh over memories of our quirky Speech and Drama (omg I couldn't even remember that we had S&D in primary school) teacher Mr Dominic Quah, 杨老师's terror-inducing methods of teaching, pretty Mrs Nonis, and the then principal Mrs Sim. Hahaha it was good to relive those times. (: And sometimes I think its really important that you keep in touch once in awhile with your old old friends from many years ago. This way you won't forget your past, what shaped you and the experiences that you went through. Yesyes, its important, and I truly thank God for Cammie. And her family's awesome too, though I didn't see them yesterday. Never mind, we're meeting next week anyway when my parents and Brian come up. Yayism! (:
Okay I think I'll go to watch some episodes of How I Met Your Mother. And I wish that the producers of Gossip Girl would stop taking a break and quickly release the next episode of Season 3!! Haha okay whatever.
Can't wait for everyone to come back!! Ta. (:
