Just for you, Kristina Lam.
TWO DAYS TO DO TWO ASSESSMENTS. FML.
So in the midst of my stressing, I get a plea from Krissy to save our blog readers from her boring blogs hehehe I told her I'll blog after this week (cos I'm a busy busy bee) and she 'enthusiastically' said she'll have to blog about uni toilets - in which you have not yet done! So I decided to do a quick blog cos I'm sick of assessments and waking up at 6 everyday and working and uni and.. I'm pretty much sick of everything. If I didn't go looking for a 3rd job (if private tutoring is not considered as a 'job' then that changes it to a 2nd job) then I'd be cruising by at uni and bludging at home - seeing as 2 days of uni would leave heaps of spare time. But I guess if people can manage with part-time jobs and uni then I can too. POSITVE THINKING!
In reference to the subheading, go visit FML if you're procrastinating and looking for an interesting read. My lecturer and tutor for my elective suggested it and if you think your life is bad, it's not as bad as the people who post on that site - maybe. Some are quite hilarious though. Here's a preview:
Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't hang out with me because he felt really sick. I went to his house anyway to surprise him with homemade soup. I walk in to his room only to find him hooking up with my sister. She can't drive, our mom drove her there. FML
Today, my mom : "You and your dad like all the same foods right? Try this for me", she then proceeds to give me a strawberry flavored jelly. I say that it tastes good and ask what she gave me. "It's my new nipple cream, I want to surprise your dad tonight." FML
lol OK. Back to assessmentings before work :(
I feel like a bbq. Anyone wanna host?? :D

a dot on a plate.
friday night i went out for a birthday dinner at 'bistro lilly' on kent st. its one of those restaurants that serve in shelley terms 'a dot on a plate'. literally. i was crazily sick - sneezing and coughing and blowing my nose every couple of minutes so despite the restuarants romantic ambience i couldnt enjoy myself (that, and also because it was a party of 20+ people, half of whom i didnt know). the menu was as so: one: amuse bouche - pheasant something or other two: snapper pie underneath the pastry at the top was a bit of fish and broccoli in a white sauce. surprisingly, it didnt taste too bad. three: lamb salad w/ feta and watercress four: sirloin tortellini w/ shitake mushrooms and butternut five: chocolate pudding the bill came to 100$ per person. oooffft. waaaay too much for someone whos unemployed. i was gonna faint! so ive paid for my one experience of 'dot on a plate' dining (or rather, my mum did - i asked her for the money). ill probably never do it again. cafe dining and take away food is enough for me thank you very much! krissy. ps. dear cc, the layout came with the white background! im not bothered to change it. i could make the default font larger if you like?
this was the first course of the evening. as you can imagine it was served on a massive plate with some sort of sauce drizzled around it. i knew what to expect and the size of it still took me by surprise! it was literally the size of an eraser (sorry thats the only example i can think of at the moment, looking around on my desk for something to compare it to). it was.. this cube thing served cold, with an apple puree as the sauce. it tasted like.. some sort of canned ham? not very appetising.
so i thought this was gonna come out as a little party pie with fish in the middle.. it didnt. it was on a massive plate with a cup thing in the middle like so: 
(my camera wasnt taking the photos very well, so this is the only photo i have)
i was really looking forward to this dish. it sounded uber tasty! needless to say, i was very disappointed by the size of the serving when it came out. i was even more disappointed once i actually tasted the dish. i wanted more! there might've been just a bit too much feta in the salad and i wouldve prefered the lamb to be warm rather than cold but it was all in all a very nice dish.
the serving of this dish was slightly larger than the previous dishes. there were a couple of tortellinis, heaps of parmesan, tiny pieces of butternut and come to think of it.. i dont remember actually eating any shitake mushrooms.. im sure it was in there somewhere. maybe in little minute pieces..
this was a dish to remember. not because it was the best thing id ever tasted but because of the way my brother and friends were making fun of it. so my brother starts of being a masterchef judge 'this is an absolutely beautiful dish. you can just taste the corinader in it' - 'there is no corinander in it' - 'oh. still. you can just taste it.' then his friend jumps in holding a fork with a piece of torellini on it 'if you just savour the torellini you can just taste the creaminess. its not bad..' then the waiter walks up and everyone pisses themselves laughing.
this was served in a cup similar to the cup that the snapper pie was served in with a scoop of ice cream on top. i hate warm desserts. so i ate a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream and just tried the pudding down the bottom. it was very rich. i didnt like it so much but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.

AHOY THERE SMEXY LADIES! REOW
Dear FABinc,
It has been a couple of months since my last blog. I know my negligence has probably transformed you blogreaders (if any) into mindless zombies. Yes yes, I know how much you crave my inner thoughts and deep confessions and all those soppy things - oh the power of words. On a less important note, I don't know what made me stumble onto this (shall I say.. desolate? Yes, I shall) desolate page but it must've been the 'love' radiating from Krissy's new layout *cough* (no I don't have swine). The white hurts my eyes by the way Krissy. You have to cater to and meet the needs of your other blog supporters as well - how else are you gonna reel in more people to read your pointless blogs? hahaha LOVE YOU.
Um yeah, so as usual, when I have a pile of shit -- I mean assessments due, I seem to always find myself preoccupied with life-consuming applications such as FB, blogdrives and anything other than Microsoft Word I guess. Oh what's that I hear? A plea for an update of my life? Well gather around, pull your chairs in closer my dear children and.. are you ready for it? Ready for the story that will have you falling off your chairs? Not because you're fat of course but because of excitement (see if it was me, it'd be because I'm fat - not that I was excited). Drum rolls please..
My life sucks hehehe
Well my 2nd semester is quite awesome with only 2 days of uni - fully packed days though. I squished them all together because I wanted to find a second job and work weekdays. For those who don't already know, I'm currently working at 2Fuse in none other than Bankstown so come by and help my budget! Krissy came by the other day and Shelley's a regular now. Credit goes to Shelley's encouragement for me to randomly apply there - who knew they'd call. The stock ain't quite as bad I as thought it'd be. Quite nice and reasonably priced stuff. Trying to balance uni and 2 jobs is hell.. I thought it'd be awesome you know? The whole "I've-got-work-the-next-day-and-every-other-day" excuse to get you out of seeing people you don't wanna see.. but its not.
I've got 3 presentations and 3 other assessments due starting next week in addition to 3 x weekly reflections. GRR! I've only got uni Monday and Tuesday and work the rest of the week. After only 3 weeks of work, I've managed to get over my personal budget a couple of time and sort of piss my mananger off by taking 2 weeks leave at short notice. Oh well, she's asian. Who cares. Don't even see her. Should come apply at my place Krissy. I don't think they're still looking but if you give me your resume, I'll refer you.
Oo oo, do any of you watch Home and Away? Well for my elective ( Intimacy, love and friendship - love love love it! We talk about FB for most of the 2 hour lectures and 1 hour tutorials - the wonderful life of uni), the girl who plays Melody goes to my uni and is in the same tutorial as me for that subject. She's not that famous and she has no friends (well I haven't seen her with anyone yet..) but you know how you get that buzz when you see someone from TV? Especially from an awesome soap like H&A. She's quite larger in real life.. The pixels made her somewhat easier on the eye.
Hmm I should really really get back to doing some work.. got two presentations on Tuesday and I'm so not prepared. I'm gonna be such an awesome teacher. I think my fat toe is bruised. One of the hands feel from a mannequin today and landed on my foot.. shouldn't have worn open-toe shoes. OH and before I forget, Mrs Huynh (our dance supervisor) came by my work place last night and she was so excited to see one of the girls from our dance group, and told me to say hi to the girls. So "HEY VIETNAMESE DANCERS" - from Mrs Huynh. I also bumped into Ms Hundy as I was powerwalking out of the station on Tuesday. She asked me to come to the school yesterday to give the senior years a motivational talk regarding career paths. I would've loved to come and make them girls pee in their ugly navy blue slacks but unfortunately, I had other commitments. What a major loss. Next time BGHS - I promise.
OK. That is all. Enjoy me hearrrrrrrties!
Your friendly neighbour,
Cecilia Throbbing-fat-toe Tran xooxxxoxxoooxxoxoohixooooxooo

blogger: krissy
hello all, it doesnt seem like very many people have noticed layout change.. just goes to show how dead this blog really is. no one even bothers checking anymore. congrats to julie and sandra who did notice! i guess i can kinda understand why this blog is so dead.. ive got idea what to write! hmmm.. well. its the third week of uni now and things havnt begun to get hectic yet but since the weathers warming up im finding myself spending more time than usual lazing around on campus. all my assessments and such are due during the 7th - 10th week so im just taking it easy at the moment. doing two eco subjects this sem (macro 2 and development), business ethics and organisational behaviour. we got a new lecturer for macro 2 in the first week. gosh he was awful! thankfully, he resigned or got fired or something. business ethics is such a bore. i dread going in on thursdays. im currently trying to lose all the weight that ive gained over the past year. im drinking some green coffee thats suppose to curb my hunger and promote the conversion of sugar into energy. my mum has put me on a tuna and brown bread diet. ill let you know how that goes.. lotsa love, krissy

families are there to love & support you, to care for you regardless, and no
matter what, to always be there when you need them. unfortunately, some of us
don't have families who support us, so FABINC is here to acknowledge that
"blood" families are not the only type of families. because that is what
real
love
is.
