Tra Vinh on Roe Street in Northbridge is dead and gone forever.
the hole in my heart that it once filled is now left open and gaping.
if we want good viet food, we now have to cram ourselves into the little Tra Vinh on Brisbane, a place that, as cheng loon puts it, gets "even more cramped after everyone has eaten their fill".


and this is what happens when the mother gets a cake craving...


she honestly doesn't care how she parked. in fact, she parked like this, we cracked up, she looked at the lines, then stopped the car and ran to the cheesecake shop.

i hope this isn't hereditary -_-

ho fun with egg sauce

i feel like telling stories. so i shall tell the story of my day.

i went to church. pastor preached. i got hungry. we had holy communion.

sean: i'm so hungry.
me: yeah, me too. i was like "yay, holy communion"
sean: -______- what the...

might take you a while to get that one.

i met andrew's hobbit. his friend in canning college. she's a lot smaller than me. makes me feel good. then andrew and sean start making fun of my height.i don't get it. it used to be just jane, richard, sam, and PS doing it. now andrew and sean come down, and THEY IMMEDIATELY START AS WELL. sigh~ nobody is on my side.

moving on, we had lunch at taurus: nine of us. anyway, we all ordered and edmund's food came first. serving size was not too shabby. then rick's came. good serving. jane's came. HUMUNGO SERVING. i was getting excited. I'M GONNA HAVE AN AWESOMELY HUGE LUNCH. then mine comes and it looks so much smaller. it's still pretty big though, and jane and richard thought i wouldn't finish it.

rachel: kim is still eating. so slow.
kim: i have finished mine. i'm finishing off jane's now.
all: PHWOAR!

went for bubble tea afterwards. andrew didn't bring money at all. sam had two bucks. jane was po kai [broke]. guess who fronted up. no worries though, it tasted really good. and we all went home without ANY MONEY. i think i'm addicted to bubble tea.

in the car. the phone rings. it's richard:
andrew: hello. oh, we went for bubble tea. no, we didn't buy for you. we ran out of money, LITERALLY. hah? got meh? where got money in here? no leh, no coins. oh shit. got ah. sorry sorry. we didn't know.

i'm eating corn.

food fair

first day of the holidays!!! oh yeah!
went out today, to a FOOD FAIR at blue gum rec center... i bought bak chang (dunno how to spell), cha kueh (dunno how to spell), and satays (know how to spell). haven't eaten any of them yet though. went with sam and jane and richard. jane and richard bought a whole lot more than i did (so scary).
saw sarah at the food fair. you'd think that i see her enough already at school, but nooooo, i have to meet her outside school as well. happened last holidays too. it seems like every time the holidays come and i think that i might get away from her (at last), she has to show up and spoil it... sigh~ XD. anyway, she was selling some stuff. didn't really look at it, since it didn't appear edible.
there was this smoke free zone at the rec centre where the food fair was going on. it just so happened that the satays were all being barbequed just outside, so the area actually got pretty un-smoke free... wait, that didn't make sense.
