Chatting: No one

It was so strange to watch Little Fish because it was like seeing the world that I'm so accustomed to in a totally different perspective. Cabramatta to me is not ghetto; it's where I feel at home , where I get my 3AM pork rolls and cheese & bacons, where I get awesome food and soak in the hustle and bustle beneath a backdrop of Karaoke vietnamese pop blaring through the shop speakers.

I loved the movie. Hugo Weaving is a legend, his character of the fallen AFL star turned drug-addict was so real, beautiful and moving.

My bella Jenny celebrated her 20th and she looked stunning. She's a reference point to early high school for me - when I look at her, I remember how much we have grown and changed together. Our friendship has always been the point of gravity where the layers of change have grown around. I can't believe we're all turning bloody 20.

More photos on my Flickr site. La Porchetta was the venue. The food was great but the main man (I think he was the boss?) was an arrogant prick. I guess he kinda made up for refusing to turn on the air con (and telling me that it was already on when I requested when it was obviously not) by cutting the cake for us.

It's funny how everything's lumped together under "Chinese". Like when I was young and all the Leb kids teased me about being a "Ching Chong" when they pulled their eyes. And now how people assume Vietnamese don't celebrate the Lunar New year cos we're not Chinese. Well, this year was a profitable one for me compared to previous years I must say. *SNICKER SNICKER*

Apple Tree Bay looked deceptively beautiful in all its misty glory (refer to photographs). By the end of the day, I was left with a severely sunburnt face despite arguing ferociously with Andrew that I NEVER burn. There's a first time for everything.

I have enrolment today. Just finished an assignment. I think it's time for a PORK ROLL! TEEHEE ;D CHUC MUNG NAM MOI!!! [Happy new year in Viet] Or, in Kit's limited-to-foods Vietnamese vocabulary, "CHUC MUNG BANH MI THIT!" [Happy Pork Roll!] LOL
