I’d like some wine please.

I look young; I’m overage yet look as though I should be in school.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m neither complaining nor bragging about it, I’m just stating a fact: I look young. Here’s another one: I always get asked for ID, always, even at restaurants...after I’ve been served alcohol. Let me elaborate...

Last week, I went out to dinner with some family and the waiter didn’t serve me any wine until after he was assured by everyone at the table that I am indeed over 18. Another staff member came over to our table about 5 minutes later and requested to see ID....AFTER I was served! If they were so worried I was underage, the first waiter should’ve checked BEFORE serving me. And besides, everyone at the table told you I was! Waiter number 2 was then berated and rightly so.

A Weekend Away

I’ll take any excuse to get on a plane and go somewhere and this excuse came from BP and went something like “JG is coming to Brisbane, you should too!” So come I did and spent a long weekend in Bris where it felt a bit warmer than Syd; BP and I think it’s because even though the temperature is about the same, it’s a lot less windier.

I have Mondays off uni so left late Friday afternoon and arrived back in Sydney on Monday night in time for uni in Tuesday.

When I arrived, I got a lift off RXZ which saved a lot of time (I was originally going to take a train) BP and I had dinner at little chinese restaurant near her place and then we went back to hers where I would be staying.

On Saturday, BP and I had sushi for lunch and went shopping during the day in the city. Later that night, a group of us had dinner at an Indian restaurant.

On Sunday, we breakfasted at pancake manor, went ice skating, visited a comic shop for some manga for JG, sang some karaoke and had dinner at Olbaltan, a Korean BBQ restaurant in the city. Afterwards, we had a ride on the ferry. It’s SO cold and windy when you’re standing at the front of them.

On Monday, I went to a lecture with BP and YY and then BP and I went to the city where we were going to chill until it was time to catch the train, on the bus there, we saw JG and her mum, took some photos and then she had to leave, unfortunately before YY came, but when YY did arrive, we took some more photos and then headed to the train station.

We ran (literally) to the train station for fear of missing the train and therefore my flight. We made it with the train already at the station to depart in 1 min, phew! And that was my lovely weekend in a few short paragraphs :)
