Wow, can hardly believe it's been half a year already. Meeting once a week doesn't help with the time perception either. Someone asked if we've argued - how could we? Couples only really start to argue if they see each other more than three times per week. Funny/Strange thing is I don't really associate us together, still. I guess matters weren't settled when we got together. Girl schools can be very bitchy if there are rumours about you. People think I'm a slut, that I stole Alison's boyfriend, that I was desperate enough to go for leftovers, etc. I shut it out because it's bullshit, but am I really? I don't want to feel embarrassed that he's my boyfriend...in fact I sort of feel embarrassed that I HAVE a boyfriend at all. And I feel really strange why I'm telling you all, but I'd prefer to have it down somewhere, in nice paragraphs instead of a vortex inside my head, exams are coming up and my head is getting rather crowded.
SAT Anyway, onto the main point of this post. Chinese school exam in the morning, what a drag. And it was really hard too, different from my other classes. I think I screwed it up a bit but oh well, as long as I'm not kept down next year. Guzheng was alright. Spent some time at Chris' house, ate, played some StepMania. He gave me a pack of cards shaped of hearts as a present!! *hearts* Now I have 45 packets of cards!! Then we went to GC and watched You, Me and Dupree. It's actually a pretty good film. I would recommend it as a comedy relief.
Then off we trot to the Valley, and the Garuva restaurant turned out to be close to the Red Cross shop my mum works at sometimes. It was RiverFire and so traffic-jam and cops everywhere, he had to drive slow so his blow-off valve didn't go off. The restaurant, which he said was really highly recommended....was really dodgy (((^O^))) (<-- just in case you don't see, it's laughing XP)
I think the restaurant was actually 18+ because it had a bar and all, but we looked 18+ that night anyway. Chris looked soooooooo hot that night; black suit pants, white collar shirt, black tie, black earring (magnetic and on the left) (yes it's mine, I made him wear it) (last week he wore it home last week and his mum called him a homo! Poor Maiki got slapped). He looked so gangster! And so cute-boy at the same time. Just really really really hot!! XD Anyway, the place only opened at night, and would have been really hard to find if not for the green lights at the entrance, and other people standing outside.
As you were walking from the front door to the reception, it was a really narrow corridor with fake plants and water fountains and fluoro green lights which all contributed to be really dodgy looking XP We got in a little earlier than he booked, and we went inside to the resaturant... The website (www.garuva.com.au) says "New patrons are coming through the doors every night and there is not even a sign outside. It is certainly hidden and 99 percent of the time very tranquil.The atmosphere is very private and especially intimate for couples." Nope, no sign, very hidden indeed, and the 99 percent of the time very tranquil would be between 3am-5pm when the restaurant was closed. Because the main restaurant was basically a huuuge room, people were sitting in rectangles on rugs/cushions on the floor, and that section was boxed off with "sheer curtains". It was even louder than during lunch at yum-cha! Yep, atmosphere was private and especially intimate for couples - if we yelled quietly we could just hear each other, other that or lean across the table into the food, and if we looked to our left through the 'sheer curtains' were some other people. Haha it was fun just paying it out.
But the food was really really good. Chris won't tell me but I would imagine it was pretty expensive. First came some really good bread+dip, called 'baba-ganoosh' or something. Sounds weird but tastes sooo good. Haha we wanted to get a little container and scoop the rest of the sauce to take home XD We're just too azn =P Karaage, Singaporean vegetables and rice. I got a stomachache, probably from the tap water, but it was sooooo goooood. Had dessert at home - Liv and I made a cheesecake!
FRI She came over in the afternoon to make it. We got home later than expected because we had to wait for Sherlyn to get picked up. Her mum forgot to pick her up AGAIN so I kept on calling until her brother finally came to take her home. Then Liv and I walked to the city to buy some fresh supplies, then took the train home. There was this dress (hush!) I wanted to wear, but it was too dressy :( So I ended up wearing pants. Mum had used the blender for garlic and I didn't want the base to taste of ginger and garlic so Liv had to crush all 250g of cookies by hand. I scurried around trying to do everything else. I called Chris so we were making up all these lame excuses for what we were doing XP "What's Liv doing?" "err....crushing..cardboard!" After we were done with the cake, we were both exhausted. While waiting for her brother to pick her up, we both fell asleep in my living room.
SUN I came half an hour late again, and I think he was sort of pissed. We had brunch at sushi, Tea Bar and Maccas. Clothes are pretty expensive now. There's this shirt/coat/thingy I wanna get in Cotton On but it's $50 :( It's not I don't have money, I just don't want to spend it. Last week Harvey was there too with Kim and Yuki, and they went shopping. Sometimes shopping with guys are more fun, coz you get to look at more stuff, instead of spending half a day in one shop, 2-20 minutes in lots of shops. Last week Saturday BAC had a school play. The school had spent so much time and money on it! It was really really good. Harvey looked so cute in glasses. Bob had stagefright, so was pretty out of it. Beforehand, Chris also had to drive his friend, ehh...forgot her name, to the play. We went to Maccas to eat. There, she asked me "do you know Alison?" I choked. He immediately said "can you please not talk about it?" It will always be a subject we tiptoe around. AnYwAY... The play ended later than I thought it would, and my mum ordered me home, so I didn't have time to say bye to everyone, and so I made James hug Bob XD
We had got bracelets for our anniversary and had it engraved, but it was too big so we went to remove some of the links. The engraving looks so nice! But really expensive.... I didn't really want to get it... I think choosing is more fun than buying. Bracelet = $79.99, but a 20% sale off at that time to $62, and $22ish for engravings, but he paid for that. Personally it's a little daunting to wear that, it's like wearing an identification tag, or a handcuff, albeit a nice looking one. But I don't really regret getting it though. (Why am I always so negative?)
We had sticker photos taken at Area 58. The sticker photos taken at Perth were really dodgy and came off on the clear plastic of my wallet (soz Del, but I can't use them now) I don't want to put them in my wallet just in case the same thing happens so I think I'll just photocopy them at school. Thank god for colour printers!!!
