20 12: attempting to sleep by 10:30

because I need to start waking up early again and I think I'm getting sick bleeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg. (currently drinking honey, lemon and mint tea and eating an apple)

I walked to the station without my glasses. I thought i'd give my eyes a rest and see normally for once. For some reason I quite often feel like falling asleep when I walk around the world without my glasses/contacts. I tend to just close my eyes and walk (not through traffic, it's all good) just through parks and places with not many people.

For brunch, mum, SY and I went to the small Sunny Cafe in Springvale. We ordered Beef noodle soup, Fan tuan (a rice wrap sort-of-thing) and ummm Lu rou fan (braised pork mince on rice) It was all pretty good, but it still cannot compare to real Taiwanese food.

Springvale seemed so far out from the city. After brunch, we looked around at the asian shops and my Aunt told me how delicious Vietnamese pork buns are (I've never had it... but a few friends tell me they're great)

We went to a few op shops on the way back to my house. I bought a little pan (i think it's meant for pancakes or something) and this giant egg shaped candle! - This is all for my comm class. I'm planning to melt the wax down and use it for my first project.

We had afternoon tea at this place I go to on the rare occasion I get coffee. The guy always knows what I want. So it's really nice. He even gave us a discount.

I spoke with Sarah for a little while this afternoon. She's currently in Chicago on a stop-over on her way to meet her family in London. She was in Honduras visiting her David! I haven't spoken to her properly about what's been happening for a supppper long time. So I am looking forward to the next time I skype with her! She was texting me "Jenny is in NY! We are in the same country! Weird right?" and I replied, "Ahh, totally! She was in Sydney on a stop-over to NY and I was texting her Ahhhh we are in the SAME COUNTRYYY!" So close. I hope that us three will be able to meet in the near future. I really miss the comfortably sleepy days with them.

Recently, I have been talking to my friend, Sayaka, who I met in high school when I was in Canberra. She was one of my best friends, but had to return to Japan cus her dad's posting ended. I deactivated my FB a little while ago and before I did that I fb messaged her asking to exchange emails so that we could keep in contact. And now every so often, I receive an email from her and she tells me what's been happening in her life and everything. It's actually so nice.
