I went to an advanced screening of the movie "9" with my friend Andrej. I haven't seen him in ages - Since he moved to Canberra to study. Now he's back in Sydney again and working only 1 block away from me...yayy, lunch buddies!!:)

Anyway, I didn't know anything about the movie before we went to see it. All I knew is that it's a computer animation movie, and I didn't really have any expectations. I was blown away by the end of it. The graphic details is so amazing. More superior than Wall-E, dark and moody.
The movie is about a rag doll who woke up to find himself living in a world where machines rule the earth by killing all the entire human population. He also accidently awoke the most powerful machine and now he must find a way to stop it. He's joined by a couple of survivors like him (all rag dolls with numbers on their body) and they all must find the key to kill the machine before it kills them. It was produced by Tim Burton with voices from Elijah Wood and Jennifer Connelly. With an M rating, it's not exactly a kids' movie because some scenes are just a bit too creepy, but I really love it! I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

After that, we went to chinatown food court for dinner, and KFC krushers for desserts. Golden gaytime, yumm!!:)

I went to the night noddle market after work tonight with Joel. It's in Hyde park, in front of the cathedral, not far at all from my work. Joel never been to the night market there before so its a new experience for him.
Its basically lots of food stalls with table and chairs for ppl to eat in the park. Most of the food that they sell there are thai. They can basically change the name into thai noodle market:P. Luckily I love thai food very much. You have to queue for a while on some of the famous stalls like Din Tai fung or Zilver. After we finished our dinner, We get this yummy dutch pancake desserts with caramel and chocolate toppings. Yumm!!

P.S. I finally got the new Mariah and Miley's album from work. Yayy!! Thanx Tash:)

Recovery day today, so I didn't do much at all. Went back to Oxford st to pick up my wallet, then dinner at Newtown Thai.
After that we went to Max Brenner Wynyard for desserts. Waffle and white chocolate drink with marsmallows, perfect way to end the weekend:)

I went to Luna Park with Adam after work. He's never been there before. It's $30 for unlimited rides on Friday after 5pm. It was fun and the place was really busy thou. I think it must have been the last day of School holidays, so we had to queue for a while to get on each ride.

After that, we met up with Iwan for dinner at Pancakes on the Rocks. I had a huge serving of pork ribs, which made me so full by the end of the meal :-)

When I got on the stairs going to my place... a weird smell hit me and I suddenly felt dizzy for a few seconds, then I realised that my neighbours have been smoking pot again!!! Yeah, the same neighbours that I mistakenly tried to open the door yesterday. They always smoke pot and the smell is everywhere. Sometimes when they're really high (usually on the weekend), they put on Celine Dion really loud, which I think is quite funny:P

Since obviously I can't take a pic of them smoking, here's a pic of the tree that I passed on the way home. It's green, so its kinda similar to weed :P

Went home from work and tried to open my flats door. It wouldn't open. I kept on trying and put in different keys one by one, still not working... Then I looked up at the door number and realised that I was at the wrong flat!! I was at the flat right below mine. I ran as fast as I could to my place, and I got back to my door just before the owner of the other flat opened his door to see what was going on!
He probably thought that someone was trying to break in!! hahaha. I kept really quiet and when he closed the door, I opened my door and went inside my flat... HOW EMBARRASING!!!

I went to see Whip it today at Broadway. The movie is about this small town girl (Ellen Page) who joined the roller derby club by lying about her age and not telling her parents. Her mum (played brilliantly by Marcia Gay Harden) thinks the only way to get to the top is by winning the local beauty pageants. It's a fun low budget (almost indie) movie, and it makes me wanna roller skate again. I give it 3 and a half out of 5 stars.

I used to be a junior athlete in roller skating. I won 4 medals, 2 gold and 2 bronze at the national championship. My parents took us (me and my bro) to club practice every sunday morning. It started at 6.30 am!! But after doing that for a couple of years, I got bored and lazy and just gave up on it completely. Also by that time, roller skating started to lose its popularity and got replaced by in-line skating. I think the last time I used in-line skates was 6 yrs ago. Don't think I'd be any good now.

We went to Kmart for a while after the movie. Since I couldn't find roller skates to take a pic of, I took a pic of the helmets. Always use this when you're skating people!!

Ismay is the new girl in our team. She took over Heather's job, starting this week. Today was her B'day, so we all went to the Civic Hotel for her b'day lunch. It's just right beside our building but I have never eaten there before. It has a Greek menu and I ordered Lamb shoulder with Greek pasta. I never realised that a lamb has a shoulder hahaha, I always thought it just had legs and body:P

Anyway, the food was great. The lamb was so tender and juicy and I deff will eat there again. We also got her a yummy cheesecake from David Jones, I ate mine with vanilla ice cream...yumm!!:) Happy B'day again Ismay!!

I went to Newtown today to look for 90's theme clothes for Jenks' party this upcoming Sat. There’s a couple of op shops in Newtown so I thought I could find 90s clothes easily. WRONG!!! I spent ages running through racks and racks of old daggy bogan clothing and nothing really screams 90s. They're more suburban 80's clothes. Lots of ugly vests. The whole thing just screams Ugly Betty to me.

After I got back home, I realised I forgot to take a pic of the shops. So, am just gonna give you this: pic of my 90's cassette collections hahahaha. Lots of NKOTB, Debbie Gibson and boys/girlsband. Still love them after all these years. On the subject of boybands, R.I.P Stephen Gately from Boyzone. It was such a huge shock to find out that he died today as he's only 33 yrs old. Your music will live on forever Stephen...
