greek hell

last week, me and a couple of friends went to a well-known restaurant near my house. i've been wanting to go there since last year.why? because of GC. not that im a big fan but he's one of the chefs on my favourite tv show.so, yeah.when a famous chef opens a restaurant, mesti la i nak pegi! lol. so we went and thought of ordering some grilled seafood BUT changed our mind right after we saw a nasty sight. they cook everything on the SAME grill.everything.from beef to pork to lamb to seafood.we were so grossed out. terus cancel nak order salmon or flathead.oh, seafood..

so we had to chose something that were safe to eat like spanakopita, tiganites patates, htapodi xithato which simply mean spinach and cheese (not so) pie, chips and pickled octopus. (so fancy mancy the names kan) and oh, some eggplants.

i just realized that we didnt take all pictures of our "main dishes".but here are some.

cinema dog

i havent seen S for ages. so last week she invited me to go to the Blak Nite Cinema at a park in the city. it is dedicated to indigenous people in australia and even the forces behind the short movies came from indigenous as well (the directors, script writers, actors). so we decided to meet at about 7pm. it was sort of like a picnic so people brought blankets, food, dogs etc. S was so kind to bring blankets, small pillows, chips, cookies and dips. i on the other hand, only bought some chips (too!). haha. the shows supposed to start at 7:30pm but this was how 7:30pm looked like.

it was more like 5:30pm.so we had to wait until it got dark like this (below)

i enjoyed the movies tho the last one was kind of depressing. i had some trouble understanding parts of the conversation because their accent was strong that i couldnt even guess what they were saying. thank god there was S to explain to me. hehe. thanks S! apart from that, it was great. we both OD'ed on chips. lol. and i thank god the weather wasnt as cold as i've predicted.

there was actually a highlight that night. sitting in front of us were a couple of locals and one of them brought his dog, called Hana/Hanna. the guy (owner) asked me before hand if it's okay with me that Hanna is there. i said okay. curious, i asked S what kind of dog is that and it's a German Sheperd. it's huge and brown and cute and harmless. i told S i couldnt touch dogs tho i secrectly wanted to touch them because dogs are SO cute. Hanna didnt sit still throughout the night and kept pacing and moving back and forth in front of us. i wasnt scared at first but nearing the end of the show, she suddenly stood up and walked in front of me and then turned his face towards me. i thought she was just gonna sniff the blanket or something (so i just acted normal) but she kept moving forward and started to sniff my jeans! i think i yelped (i didnt scream) but it was like a small cry and cupped my mouth while my other hand was on S asking her to save me (via brain signal).hahaha. the owner heard me and immediately sat up and said something to S. i could only hear something like, 'she doesnt bite' or 'she's friendly' (i think) :p S did save me. thank you! i felt guilty because i didnt want to offend him because truth to be told, i like dogs, its just that i cant have any contact with them. then, at the end of the show, the guy brought Hanna closer to us and said something to S (i wasnt concentrating but i KNEW he wants us to pat Hanna.uh-oh). S patted her and i just watched. then the guy turned to ME and said its okay for me to touch her. i was speechless and looked at S with a meaningful eye (haha) and looked back at Hanna and the guy. i dont know how to say no and kinda didnt want to because, like i said before, i didnt want to offend anyone. (a fren told me once that some people do get offended if we show them that we're scared of their pets. i dont know how true it is but i got a feeling if i dont touch that german sheperd i might as well wish i didnt say OK in the first place). am i making sense here? well, anyways, i did pat and touch Hanna. she's a good dog and yes, she doesnt bite. :)

later, i got home and did 'samak'.

remember smudge? he's a shih tzu.

ainsi dans vous

(i got pass that entry below) so now on a different note, i'll tell you about something that's more erm..happy? haha.all my life, i've been given.. (no, no.scratch that.straight to the point, fina!) okay okay. I BOUGHT A PERFUME!! u guys must be like, WHAATT? a perfume? thats it? haha.yes, im poyo like that.but u dont know the whole story.so read..i have NEVER bought a single perfume for 25years of my life.people have been giving me perfumes and i (secrectly) have always hope that someone would so (jimat duit).hihi.but i guess it has to end and i now have to start buying with my own money.so i did! in my previous entry (the collage), i wanted the Viva La Juicy perfume but its too expensive. :( so i turned to a cheaper one.i bought CKin2U instead.$29 ya'll (for a 100ml).that, my frens, is a bargain.i went to the shop and there's only TWO left! one on display and i managed to get the last one! yay! ohh, i so love living here.

so proud of myself!

oh the drama

my passion for blogging has probably deterred since my laptop died. i've no intention what so ever to write again, until now... why? just because. okay okay, there's something thats bothering me and i dont like it and i think its stupid. facebook has managed to destroy (okay, thats a strong word to use) erm, to... cause a ridge between mother and daughter. it was totally unexpected. i called her one day and she sounded annoyed and i was like (wth did i do wrong?). i was distraugt of course. who wouldnt? when ur mom suddenly doesnt want to talk to you, you'd be digging ur brain out thinking what did u do wrong. i managed to ignore thinking that she prolly was annoyed or mad at someone else and threw it on me. then yesterday at work, she called and STILL sounded the same. i was like WTH. it lasted only for 20seconds because she just said, sms me the date of ur graduation. click. that was it. ape nii??? tbb okay. so later that night i texted my brother, kot2 la dia tau why. and he said she's not mad, its just that dia terasa because "u seem friendly with ur frens than her". WHAT?? which part of 'friendly' doesnt she understand? of course im friendly with my FRIENDS. friendly isnt derive from the word mother. and friendly isnt exactly how you should be with ur mother (well, im not). look, maybe im wrong for not being 'friendly' to her as i do with my friends but thats just the way it is. my mother is my family and should stay at being just that. call me cruel or disrespectful, but this is how i am. and pls, at least have the guts to tell it to my face. NOT by treating me like i did something really bad because if i didnt ask my brother, i wouldnt even KNOW why.

i wont say i'm sorry
