Mandurah Trip [Post exam!]

Last Saturday on the drive back from Mandurah, Aan broke down. For those of you who don't know, Aan is my beloved little red Toyota Seca. She's been serving me well these past two years, but I guess the mileage is starting to get to her now. Anyway, she couldn't have gone at a worse time, leaving us in quite a predicament. There we were, 3 girls stuck at a traffic light in woop-woop, at 11pm at night with no speck of mechanical knowledge between us. Oh yes, and naturally it was cold, windy and rainy.
Lo and behold, a mechanic truck pulls up behind us. What are the chances?

Sharon: "Uh..did you guys call a mechanic..?"

Deciding that it wasn't the time to be denying help from strangers, we had the nice guys push Aan to the side of the road and jumpstart her. All was well until Aan blew out again shortly after. We ended up calling RAC and having Essi's dad pick us up from the side of the freeway. Aan was towed away and has been in the workshop since. Apparently there's something wrong with the Welsh plug. -Blank face-

So as a result I've been cooped up at home for the past two days. It's only been two days, but already I feel so debilitated without a car. Getting lethargic today, it drove me (haha) to accompany my mum to the shops to buy washing powder.

Fifteen boxes of washing powder.

Yes, my parents love bulk buying. Anyway, I can't really complain because whilst pushing a trolley full of washing powder around, mum bought me a pair of boots, hehe.



Edit: Had my second GP visit, and it was great. I got to do a vaccination! And not all children are mean :)

Wow, it's mid-year already? [Sale Time!]

I just finished my exams so I am currently filled with excitement over the plans I have for these holidays. One of these is staying at home, updating this blog (yay! woohoo), and not catching swine flu in the eastern states. I kid, I'm so jealous of everyone fleeing Perth, leaving me nothing interesting to write about here.

Anyway, speaking of kid, we tried goat at Shawn's and David's birthday dinner at Capriccio. Goat! It tastes like beef, but looks like pork, except doesn't taste as nice as the either of them. We also had a very thoughtful discussion about the sounds that goats and lambs make. Conversations over dinner always tend to dock a few IQ points off one's intellect. I love it.

-Shawn's 23rd-

DidYouKnow? Goats hair is good for calligraphy? I'm wondering what my paintbrushes are made of. Maybe hairs from a large squirrel. Oh, and on the paintbrush update; nail polish remover works wonders for getting out paint. Makes sense really doesn't it? Haha brain fart. But I was a bit worried that it would've totally destroyed my brush, which I'm glad to say, it didn't.
