I wish we could have stayed beneath that starlit night,
You and I were perfect in the silvery moonlight.

The Birthday List 2009

Hello! I finally got around to compiling a list. Hopefully it'll give you an idea of what to get. If you've already planned to get something, by all means go right ahead. I'm not going to hate you if your present isn't something on the list.

- Ipod speakers+radio+alarmclock thingy
- Bookends!!
- That awesome bag at the Dangerfield in Doncaster
- Cute pajamas?
- Decent mascara (I love that clinique one I got for free at Myer)
- Stationary (cheapo every day stuff)
- Books. Don't care if they're from McLeod's, they just have to be readable
- IKEA GIFT CARD! (gotta buy stuff in Queensland)
- a pretty quilt cover set for a single bed
- Rachel McAdam's hat (see below) with awesome little buckle. Too cute! Or even that awesome laptop bag. I'll settle for either lol


Yeah that's probably enough to be getting on with. Haha now i feel like a total diva making unreasonable demands.

In other news, I'M MOVING TO QUEENSLAND! There's heaps of stuff I need to buy once I get there. Like table lamps, full length mirror (yes, its very important), one of those fold out drying rack things, perhaps a KETTLE, airtight containers (for tea, I need tea to study) and who knows what else.

Gah

Love,
Mel

Long time no blog...

...not counting that thing about Asian Flush. Anyway, has anyone ever kept a diary? I used to when I was little, pretty darn awesome stuff I tells ya. The best part is looking back on it a good 8 years later and laugh at all the stuff that used to be a huge deal then. Every entry started with "sorry I haven't written for so long" (who the fuck was I apologizing to?) and every second entry was about the latest crush, be it a celebrity or some loser at school.

Yeeeaah.

Not much has changed.

Love,
Mel

"Asian Flush"

We had Kymbat's birthday party last night. Mmm yeah it was pretty fun. Lots of dancing and cruiser drinking. Anyway, I found out last night that some of my friends are allergic to alcohol, I mean, red faced after only a tiny amount and feeling sick. So I came home and looked it up (I have nothing better to do with my life) just to see if there was something different in vodka that causes allergic reactions. LOL, apparently 50% of asians lack and enzyme that breaks down alcohol, so they start feeling sick and turn bright red. My mum does this and I always thought she just had a low tolerance for alcohol; who knew it was the "Asian Flush" at work? Seriously, google it.

Love,
Mel

P.s - I take after my dad thank GOD

The One...

with the hot med student.

On Sunday we had the Melbourne Uni open day and I caught up with an old friend from primary school and we caught up whilst Chan and Ying were getting information on commerce and engineering courses. We were pretending to be interested but well, I want to do medicine and he wants to do law/journalism so yeah. That was pretty fun, he was checking out all the hot females and I was checking out all the hot males. Fun! Then he left to go to the footy (or cricket or YAWN) with his friends so Chan, Ying and I got free krispy kremes then found Tara, Kymbat, Prabhas, Jonno and Dwighty the 12yo.

Anyway, how is the hot med student title even relevant I hear you ask? Well it all started when Fishman gave me the first 2 seasons of How I Met Your Mother *insert flashback here*. I watched the entire first season on Friday and Saturday nights (ooops, spesh sac). Barney the womanizer plays this game called "Hi, haaave you met Ted?" where he says that to some random girl in the bar then makes his friend Ted have a conversation with said random girl. I was curious to see if it would work so I played a variation called "Hi, haaaave you met Prabhas?". Well it sort of worked on one of the (female) med students, Prabhas and the girl got talking...but I think she felt obliged.

Outside the med building there were people playing music and this really hot middle eastern singer caught my (and kymbat, chan, ying and tara's) collective eye. Hehheh. I told Prabhas we should go get his number and I wrote on a pamphlet "Hi, my friend wants your number" and got Prabhas to hold it up whilst everyone stood around pointing at Tara. HAHAHA. Tara turned BRIGHT RED. Turns out this guys name was Prad, he was a first year med student and did I mention, he was HOT. I did it for Tara, you know how she's always wanted a muso boyfriend *wink*.

I tried the "Hi, have you met Prabhas" line on an asian girl at Nandos but completely freaked her out. I think she thought I was coming onto her and was going to stalk her home or something. Too bad Prabhas, no hot girl waitress for you! The girl at the sunglass place also turned Prabhas down but only because she had a boyfriend. Better luck next time!

Ok that story didn't really make sense. A bit rushed I'm afraid. The point is, How I Met Your Mother is FREAKIN AWESOME and its fun to make Tara blush :)

Love,
Mel

M1 - If drinking excessive amounts of tea and coffee is a form of self-medicating then load me on a shuttle bus and send me straight to rehab!

M2 - You're bananas. Stop talking to yourself.
