Pre-note: A big shout out to Sarah Phan for mentioning me in one of her posts. Yes I do miss you too. Remember the days where we would verse each other or sometimes team up and defeat Danny etc. in Find-a-Word. I must grab myself a few of those books to indulge myself in them when I'm bored and feeling down. OH! That's right and my jigsaw puzzle that Danny also gave me and how for some reason out of nowhere everyone made it with me. LOL! Good times spent at Saturday Viet School. Be sure to visit this lovely girl's blog. You won't be disappointed. It's like a breath of fresh air.

As mentioned in my previous post or two, I talked about how I will be having a birthday lunch with the girls. It turned out the most of them couldn't come so it only came down to just myself, Amy, Anne and Tram who enjoyed our time together at Cafe Amore in which I chose myself.

This cafe is exceptionally sophisticated and it has a very nice ambience. The food is alright I guess. Let me give you a warning beforehand if you ever decide to visit that cafe. DO NOT order the Ravioli if extremely salty food doesn't excite those little taste buds of yours. They won't like it. By the way, a great drink to have if you are still under eighteen years of age is to order Lemon Lime Bitters. This drink will get rid of any sickening feeling that you get when you have ate too much. Another warning. Finish the drink AFTER the meal. Or else you will not be able to enjoy the rest of your dish. The rocket salad there is EXCEPTIONALLY good. It is to die for. I give it five Anne stars. Ravioli was given one Anne star by Anne herself. We soon realised that for some strange reason. Our group has matured in a way that no one could ever think possible. We don't seem to go out to birthday parties and get all drunk and stuff anymore. We tend to go out for birthday lunches now. How sophisticated of us right? In a way that is good, but shouldn't that hit us next year instead of this year? So lunch ended. We all went our own ways as we had things to do. I for one only wanted to do one thing. Shop my heart out. I mean come on SALES! Everywhere. Who could resist.

I roamed Rundle Mall all by myself and did three hours worth of shopping and honestly time and money spent wisely today. I bought myself a lingerie set down at Myer along with a nice pair of leggings and stockings for thirty dirty bucks. Great bargain if I do say so myself. A pair of heels at which I spotted down at Betts. Very high black patent heels. I'd probably say it'd be a platform but then again who am I to say it is or not. They were only forty dollars. Pity I didn't have enough money on me. Stupid one dollar short. But let me tell you, I will get my hands on them. My psychic skills tell me that it will be hot in my hands this upcoming Saturday. I will definitely take a photo for you guys when I buy it. Those aren't the only bargains I bought. I got two nice cocktail dresses perfect for any occasion at Myer also. Both short, one strapless and the other has really thin straps. One is plain in color and simple and the other has little mini circle patterns, gray in color. The gray one? Night out with Eve. The baby pink? Wayne by Wayne Cooper. Let me tell you cheap bargains. The Wayne Cooper dress was the only one left whereas the Night out with Eve, if I can recall correctly had a few leftover. I scored myself my favorite brand of perfume in which I have ran out and have been meaning to get it.Vera Wang-Princess. This woman is amazing. She has wedding gowns, perfumes, home accessories etc. You should visit her website.I finally found the perfect wallet to replace my old one. Although my old one is an authentic Gucci one, I thought since everyone is getting into the craze of having wallets in the form of a clutch. Why miss out on the hottest fashion statements these days. So I scored myself one of these wallets/clutches down at Sportsgirl. I also bought a few pair of earrings at Diva, you should really think of heading down there. Although these earrings weren't on sale. They were a part of the new range. The paris range and the Vintage range. Very elegant looking. Let me tell you another bargain. It was on sale down from thirty or was it twenty five. Well any one of those two prices, they only have a difference of five. So guess how much it got slashed down to? Nine, ninety five baby! That's right! It was such a nice pattern. I think I took a photo of it. Maybe if I can find where I put it then I can post it on here along with the dishes we had today at Cafe Amore.

Anyways, I believe it is time for me to stop rambling on about my life. I think that maybe tomorrow I will post up more of my photos and write a few more stories for The Nutmeg. So below are photos of the dishes at Cafe Amore and guess what I found the photo of my wallet/clutch. So hope I didn't bore you out to death.

P.S: Cafe Amore is situated on Pulteney Street, Adelaide CBD. BUONA NOTTE TUTTI!

So, I have been seventeen years old for exactly nine days already. Before then, all I ever thought about when people mentioned about my birthday was for me to never grow old and forever stay sixteen. Eventually I thought about what I would miss out. The fun, the parties, the clubs, the alcohol. Not to mention the hype of being legal and all. So I truly accepted what was coming. I tried to make it so that seventeen wouldn't be a big deal and would make me have fun and enjoy myself. Outings and events which I hosted with my dearly beloveds. First event? A family party with lots and lots of food. Second a heart felt day spent with that someone enjoying breakfast, movie, lunch and lots of walking. Next up on the agenda? A strictly girlfriends only event where we eat, have fun and watch a movie. Gee, it has been quite a while since I last blogged. Two weeks if I'm correct? Maybe a bit longer than that. I even thought about abandoning this blog of mine. Yet, here I am blogging again. Reunited. Letting you guys read my thoughts and rant on about my life. So here we are halfway through the year twenty ten and I am a seventeen year old now. Today I feel like blogging so much. So instead of bombarding you with all my thoughts all in one post. I will do it in so many posts. All in one day. Watch me as I amaze you with how many thoughts I have. Enjoy your reading. :) I have decided to do these posts tomorrow. XD! As I am now bored with my layout, so not only will I blog my heart out tomorrow, be excited as this blog of mine will look different! Until tomorrow people, BYE!

Like the banner above says. 'Happiness is only real when shared'. So here I am sharing my happy thoughts with everyone.

Finally a long weekend. No one can be as happy as I am right this instance. God, senior year has been a living nightmare for me. And I'm pretty sure everyone else in year twelve is sharing a mutual feeling with me. Amazingly, for the first time I have finished all my homework and assignments in one night. Now my long weekend can just be left for me to relax, facebook, movies, Gilmore Girls, The Big Bang Theory, sleeping, sleeping, baking, baking and more baking! Vancy's birthday this upcoming Tuesday, got to get a move on with deciding on what cake to bake for her to bring in for the group. However, my orthopedic appointment is first thing on Tuesday. Great! Can't wait.... =_=" Honestly, I do not want to go at all, but it is for my own good and I want to know what's wrong with my stupid eye. Hopefully nothing.

So mid-year exams are coming up. Year tens and elevens get to go first though. To be truthful, we year twelves whilst walking towards the bio, chem and physics lab, we see the little year tens crying and talking to their teachers saying how stressed out they were from all the work and exams and stuff. Honestly. You are a year ten. We are year twelves. This is our final year, the big year, the year that will decide how our lives will be in a few years. We are supposed to be the ones who are stressed out, crying etc. Not you. Although, my mid-year exams are coming up in a fortnight. I believe I should study now. To hell with it, tomorrow I will start. So I found out my exam timetable two weeks ago. When we were first notified that the timetables will be handed out during admin, part of me didn't want it and wanted to believe that the exams will never happen. That wasn't the case. Then the other part of me wanted to look at it to know when my last day of term is and whether or not I have any exams on my birthday. Thank heavens I had no exams on my birthday. So that day can be for me to study hardcore for my last two exams. Italian and finally Chemistry. Honestly why does Chemistry have to be last. Anyways, so my birthday this year will be spent with him and all we are going to do is head out for lunch. Since his exams end a week earlier than me. Lucky person. You might be thinking, what about my friends? Well, hopefully everyone I want to spend my birthday with will be free, so that I can have lunch with them during the holidays. Just to let you know, my holidays aren't holidays. They are like school for me this year. I spend my time at holiday seminars every single day, every single week during the holidays. All that I am hoping for at the moment is for school to officially end, for me to graduate, have my three month summer holiday and party party PARTY!

So I will be turning seventeen soon in two weeks time. I don't want to get older. But then if I don't grow up, then I will never reach eighteen, become a legal adult, drink alcohol (like I don't anyway), go clubbing, not to mention going to the casino for the first and last time. XD So my friends have been asking whether or not I will be hosting an eighteenth. My answer? Hell yes! It's my eighteenth. Why wouldn't I?! I was thinking of hosting a masquerade party or a dress up party with or without a theme.  What do you think? Any suggestions? Feel free to comment and leave me with your wonderful opinions and thoughts. Even if it's just a friendly greeting then I would really appreciate it. I got to get back to my beloved Gilmore Girls now.

P.S: My year level is hosting a Harry Potter Week. I honestly cannot wait any minute longer. I am the SAC Cho Chang of 2010. LOLOLOL! Myself, Natalie Carfora, Kate Riggs and Jessica Sands stayed back on Friday until five o'clock decorating the year twelve common room. I took photos, but I'm not allowed to post them or upload them on facebook at all until Tuesday comes along. I promise I will post the photos up as soon as friday night comes. Until then have a wonderful long weekend and enjoy it. 

Toodledoo!
