i am not belle

Since neither of us have seen each other for a good month or two, Nails and I decided to hang out yesterday and she nicely took us into Slurry Hills to check out the Ladakh sales. I’ve never been to these things before, because I had assumed you had to get yourself ready by 7, be there by 8 (in the morning) and line up in this massive queue. Not yesterday, though. Yesterday was just a nice, browsy day. I ended up getting a white dress for $20. I don’t really know when I’ll be wearing it, but I like the material and embroidery on the collar. I mainly purchase clothes due to their cut, fabric and colour. Now I have two white dresses. The other one was a white toga style with plaited straps from Kookai. Kookai impress me in terms of fabric, but am not too crazy on the styles available. You’d be surprised how easily you can find similar knock-off styles in Supre for half the price (or even less than).

We went to Ramen Kan after that and I tried out the new vegetarian menu. Gasp! I am usually the first to pick out the raw items (Kaisen Don), but I wanted to try something new. Tofu steak is delicious! It comes with a serving of salad, and it gave me enough space in my tummy for dessert. Nails introduced me to this Asian ice cream place where they have the standard flavours as well as black sesame and green tea. The place was called Y2K somewhere in Chinatown, just a few places down from the cake shop. It was awesome.

Came back to Liverpool Officeworks after that to get some school supplies. They didn’t stock those Uniball pens that I usually get, and I can’t find them elsewhere other than individually in newsagencies, which charge a lot for it (unfair). I am looking forward to this semester. It’ll be much more easier for me to attend lectures without even trying because a few of them are in the same room right after each other. I’ll mostly be in upper campus this semester, which is good, because Mathews is the only food court with decent food. The next closest thing to that is Randwick. And dear god! If you go to Stock Market and ask for the strawberry and banana smoothie and replace the strawberries with blueberries, you get this delicious purple concoction that’s to die for! Yes, looking very forward to it now. Being based in upper campus also means I can lounge out on the library lawn during breaks. Last semester, I had to always trek it up there, and that means several servings of stairs.

With less than a week to go, my first class starts on Monday at 9AM. I really cannot wait to see the bus queue line. I’ve never started the year at this time before, and this is about as early as it gets, so it’s sure to be phenomenal. I heard it stretches all the way to the bridge under where the trains run. That’s just epic. Can’t wait.
