I'm a train wreck in the morning I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you
I'm a puzzle yes in deed
Ever complex in every way
And all the pieces aren't even in the box
And yet, you see the picture clear as day.
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you [3x]
I neglect you when I'm working
When I need attention I tend to nag
I'm a host of imperfection
And you see past all that
I'm a peasant by some standards
But in your eyes I'm a queen
You see potential in all my flaws
and that's exactly what I mean.

long overdue
the end of may/beginning of june has been quite a memorable week for me. friends came back for graduation ceremonies, i was able to kick back and relax
Helena came to Sydney for her graduation. A day before her grad, we did some shopping at DFO where we scored some cheap clothes/belts/bags, had Harry's pie for dinner and Max Brenner for dessert.
bondi beach.HURRICANE'S GRILL LAMB RIBS!!!
the fish market + darling harbour. we forgot to take pics of the food coz we were too hungry. partly because i made them walk to the fish market all the way from central, which took us nearly an hour to get there!
this pic of my dad is too cute. lindt cafe rocks (:
the after party. i was SOOO late coz we had a late lunch, which resulted to a late dinner which ended pretty late + friday night traffic jam.
scenic routes on the way to kiama. we reached kiama 30 minutes before the sun set.. talk about extremely BAD TIMING!!! the blow hole was kinda.. small and not persistent.
dad looks like he is SHITTING. haha...
me and my new converse :)
me and my new converse :)

i've decided that the best time to get macdonald's is not the middle of the night, def. not in the afternoon (when it's peak hour, even to drive-thru and takeaway) but just before lunchtime, about 11am. That's when the burgers are fresh and crispy, not burnt/overcooked and def not sloppy and ugly-looking. Their quality control SUCKS.
need a new mobile phone, my current one really sucks. i actually missed an interview today coz i didn't get the voice mail that the interviewer left. thank God she called today and asked me to come tmr. this is SO FREAKING BAD.
i'm actually bloddy scared of interviews and tests. BAH.
