So I didn't have to choose. My dad chose one for me! Clearly it's neither of the ones I wanted... but its still pretty good. It's very high-tech. So high-tech that I was struggling to take photos with it the other night. My fingers kept touching things on the touch screen which made it do weird things. I'll have to read the manual at some point.

My agency rang me a couple of nights ago just to check in with me and if I had any questions that needed answering. I was curious about the weather so I asked what the temperature was that day. The conversatioin went something like this:
'Oh, and what's the weather like at the moment?'
'Quite warm actually...'
'Oh that's good to hear.'
'Yeah, today was a top of 15...'
'15?! That's not warm!'
'It is to us!'

hahaha... oh dear... it's going to take a lot of adjustment for me to feel warm on a 15 degree day!

So after that conversation, I've decided to keep a tab on London's weather so I can get a feel of what to expect. I looked at the weather forecast for the the next 7 days and they have maximums of around 10-14... but next sat they have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5!!! How can 5 be a maximum?!?! I'm gonna freeeeeeeeeze!!!! :S scarves, beanies, gloves, thermals... definitely on my list of things to take! It's like I'm going to the snow for a whole year!

I went to celebrate two birthdays tonight at a little restaurant called Little Beijing House in Blackburn. It was definitely a fun night with a lot of the entertainment from a little man called Joon. He's a talkative one, making us wait as he is always the last to finish his food whenever we go out. But we forgive him because it is what comes out of his mouth that makes dinners like these so much fun. I had the privilege of sitting next to him tonight. I haven't laughed so much in ages!

Tonight we had a lot of discussions about poultry as this restaurant was apparently famous for its peking duck.

Poultry 101:
To kill a chicken you pick it up by the body and spin it around really fast until the neck breaks.
You can hypnotise a chicken by gently stroking its breast bone.
You shouldn't breed your own animals for the purpose of providing a meal.
A drumstick plus thigh does not equal a whole drumstick - despite whether it is a duck or chicken.
Tell a friend that duck taste and looks like chicken so that they'll eat it.

i can't believe its already november. where did all the months go?

tonight i celebrated a friends wedding. a friend who i've known for a few years. a friend who shares mutual friends which made tonight just that little bit more special. a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple. to me, from what i know of them, they are perfectly matched.

the ceremony was simple but full of warmth. the reception was in toorak at an incredible venue that i was lucky enough to be a part of.

i caught up with a few people i had not seen in a while. the main topic of conversation lately has been my trip to the uk. i enjoy talking about it as it gets me excited about the opportunities i will discover. but on the other hand, it also makes me sad as these are the memories that i will miss the most. hanging out with my friends... sharing the fun, the laughter, the crazy dancing.

there are going to be so many weddings next year that i will miss out on :( sometimes i think of making bad memories just so i wont miss my friends as much.

congratulations to robby and anne. thanks for a great night :)

to those people: i heart you and you and you. especially you.
