all abt bondi and a wee bit of kingsford

i'm tired. been out the whole day. tis shall be a brief entry. i'm one lazy bum. :P

11-11:45am

waited in vain for the phone interview company xxx insisted on. called agent C to find out what happened & she realised she got the date wrong. okay, looks like i got my way of having the face-to-face interview after i'm back in singapore (so i thought. carry on reading). agent C said to arrange that and then call/ email me the details.

12:30pm

dropped off a bag of winter clothings & OH's business suit at the laundromat. cost us a whopping $48!

1:30pm

got to bondi junction. grabbed a whopper junior from hungry jacks. it was succulent. i dont know if it was the hunger to start with. i really thought that was the best burger i've ever had. now i know why jann (supervisor at uni photography) always loves a freshly made hot burger. after the quick lunch, i saw joyce, my hairstylist for the last time in sydney. also my last haircut here. spent a good 1.5 hours and nearly $100 (haircut + product). to think that my last haircut was in may, 100 buck is not alot. :P

within westfield bondi.


guys would lurve westfield... there're couches at every level and every other corner. even the girls would lurve it. to rest our tired feets in-between/ after shopping. :P

the outside of westfield bondi.


3pm

met up with OH at borders & then we caught a bus to bondi beach for a proper lunch of fish and chips. while we were deciding the type of fish, we saw the shop actually sells deep fried mars in batter. yes, mars bar. deep fried ice-cream i've heard and tasted but never once deep fried chocolate bar. sheesh. i wonder how it taste like.

we walked ard the area for a while. mainly the shops. we gave the beach a miss for it was too cold. we couldnt wait to get on the bus. also got a call from agent C that company xxx insisted on having a phone interview rather than a face-to-face interview next week. okaaay, i suppose they dont wanna waste time on someone who cant even carry out a decent conversation with them. call it preliminary selection.

grilled snapper with chips.


grilled blue eye cod with chips.




on the bus back to bondi junction.



bondi surf seafoods - where we had our fish & chips.




5:15pm

back to bondi junction. meant to buy space bags or vacuum bags (for bulky items like winter clothings) from kmart. since its closes at 10pm, we left the task till the end of the day.

out of bondi junction interchange. see the brown tall building? thats where kmart is.


thats bondi junction interchange (we turned ard to take tis shot).


on the way to kmart, we saw papaya body butter very much like the body shop's.


i tried to dig out a sample of it. the texture was horrible. u cant even spread that thing onto your skin. it was practically solid.

7:30pm

came back home to drop off the stuffs and also to warm up (i checked. it was 10.6oC when we got back. heard there's some coldsnap moving up from from the south. victoria and tassie even experienced snowfall. the last time tassie had snow was 20 years ago) before turning up at mamma teresa, an italian restaurant downstairs our place, for dinner. the good thing abt dining here is u get authentic cuisine cooked by the natives. italian, korean, thai, indonesian, japanese, vietnamese, etc etc.

tortellini boscaiola: bacon cream mushroom carbonara


fettucine marinara: fresh seafood and tomato fettucine

i'm counting down the days. happy to be going home but sad to be leaving here. the feelings i get is truly surreal. my brain says tis is the last week but my heart doesnt seem to feel exceptional sadness yet. i think it has to do with self restraint. the ability to not think or feel the imminent.
