Wow… I’m actually somewhat surprised that I haven’t actually done a post about my normal life for a while now… But what better way to get things back into gear, than by writing about the weekend I just had where I spent a lot more money than I had thought/planned I would have… I did quite a bit of training on the weekend… Much more than a normal trip to the city, as I took a few detours before I met up with my friends. It always seems to be an interesting train ride whenever I get some of my friends down to the City… 8 of 10 times, there will be a classic moment of awesome. Or so I find at least…?
To kick things off, Saturday was when Cameron, Leon, Ben, Nick, (Squiggley Nick) Martin and I went to salvage what was origanally planned to be an epic mass outing to IMAX to watch Alice In Wonderland. So, seeing as I was sacrificing earning money for that day, I went out to see if I could see if there was anything to salvage for the trip. We didn’t end up seeing it at IMAX, and just went to a normal cinema instead. Alice in Wonderland wasn’t as good as I was expecting… Maybe I had too high expectations, but still… I felt that it was rather rushed, and too fast paced… It was fun to watch, but not as awesome as I was hoping it would turn out to be…
Poor Ben… He needs to talk more… =P So…. Ben was hungry… He told me about how he was hungry just before we got off the train… So I reassured him, that eating would be one of the first things we would do. So, after getting off the train at Town Hall, we walked into Galleries Victoria, and there, we indecisively, chose where to eat. After some back and forth, and Leon’s demand for some nice hunk of meat… we ended up going to where we always go… Ichiban-boshi… The Noodle place next door to Kinokuniya… And strangely, it took longer than normal to get our food out… I read the latest issue of Newtype Magazine while I waited for the foodstuffs to arrive… I ended up getting mine first… And Ben… As well as Cameron, who both ordered Karage-dons, ended iup getting their meals last… Ah well…
So after that… We went down to George Street and Nick, Cameron and I waited in a long line to order our tickets for Alice. So, the other three decided to go visit Billy Hyde. We were to meet up with them at Billy Hyde once we had gotten our tickets, and so, after paying for them all on my eftpos, we went to Billy Hyde… I was afraid I was half lost, but once I saw the sign for Clarance Street, my confidence was restored, and as we walked up to Billy Hyde, we saw Martin, Leon and Ben running down the street from the opposite end, trying to beat us to Billy Hyde… Haha. Nice work guys!
After that, we decided to head down to Chinatown to… see and do some… very manly things… Okay… Fine… We went into Morning Glory…
Yes.
And… instead of just looking, and laughing at some of the stuff, pretty much all of us, except for Martin, ended up buying something from Morning Glory. Real man style… And as a result from Morning Glory, I now haz a tofu!
It’s so cute! And Soft! And squishy! And you can put your arms through it and hug it! It is awesomeness!!! They kinda remind me of Dango from Clannad… Now it makes me wanna collect them! Maybe in when I go to China in Two months time, I can stock up on lots and lots of Tofu! And I can have a wall of Tofu!
We also met up with Taylor, Molly and Jack. Who were planning to stay a lot later than some of us had planned… So, half of us bailed, and Leon and Cameron and I decieded to join them for a little dinner… Where I sort-of almost pissed off a waiter who was annoyed when they claimed I made an error as to what I wanted to order or something like that… So that was fun… All in all, after doing the maths for that day, I seemed to had ended up spending about $150 that day… And only bringing back a Tofu and Newtype magazine…
Then Sunday came along, and so after four hours of work in the morning, I decided to do a quick trip to the City, and my Sister decided to come along too. And well… we decided to try Ajisen Ramen… Seeing as how it seems to be… Everywhere… But anyway… So, I ordered a Gyoza Ramen… Which I have taken a picture of below…
I don’t feel that it was as good as Ichiban… I mean it was still good, but umm… Still good, it was not overly stong. It was a very nice and kind of neutral soup. I guess I’ll probably be going back there sometime soon as they had a pretty awesome Melon Frappe thingy… I was hoping to buy an Archos Battery Dock for my Archos 5 both Sat and Sun, but I was never able to find the time to do so. And so… I’ll have to find one some other time then…
Anyway… So, that was a… quick? wrap of my weekend… I’m sure it was more awesome than the way I described it here, but I have a Tofu now, so I is happy.. For now…
This weekend, I shall be going to Shannon’s birthday party!! Which will be very fun!
