In love with this photo of the clouds that afternoon

Last exam for the uni semester and a selfie to celebrate? Brought my new camera (planned to go La Perouse after and take some happy snaps) and of course obligatory photo for the last day of our exams. When we flipped the LCD screen over, we didn't realise there was a 3 second timer on so it went from a nice luvo to Kenjin looking constipated. Met the infamous karaage, got a free pencil and swaggily walked into the examination room with Kenjin and Chloe. Did the test really slowly, was privileged enough to sit next to my baby Ricky k3 HAHAHHAHAHA WHERE ARE YOU KENJIN. Onomatopoeia screwed me over because I only knew each sound and the corresponding emotion/object but I forgot to study the particles and grammar structures that came afterwards. Some parts of grammar were also quite trippy and there was also this other part in the exam where it was a bit confusing so I ended up #ceebz so hard.

Headed back to uni to collect my major project (which I got wrekt in) and retrieved my marks for dictation (100% COME AT ME NOOBS) and induction which I only got a distinction in urgh. I swear the tutor is biased, we did so much better than other groups yet they get higher marks than us like wtf... Our conversations flow well, we have clear expression and pronunciation and our content ain't that bad either so why aren't we getting high distinctions huh? I remember how shit Ricky's presentation was yet he got 8 point something like wtf.

Met with a guy to buy textbooks off him for the next semester and I think $20 for two books is a pretty good bargain. Headed to McDonald's and waited over half an hour for Dan to pick me up (M5 broke down zzz) and while ordering a $1 frozen coke, I swear I saw Yiana at the register? Like, I couldn't tell if it was her or not because #nomakeup and her voice was a bit higher than I had remembered but I'm still 80% sure it was her? I don't know, didn't say hi and there was a second of awkward eye contact so....

Finally made it to La Perouse! First time where the weather is actually warm and not insanely cold, but the wind was raging as usual. Dan and I then decided to go explore the nooks and crannies of Bare Island which we haven't been to. 

I approve, very good very handsome I like. 

We were looking at the sign which labelled all the fish and of course this one grabbed our attention. There was also a blue fish and I don't know which genius, but they cleverly named it Bluefish. There was also some kind of Surgeon Fish so I guess that's also Dan? (Jackass is also him hehe) 

We walked across the bridge just to read the sign and hopefully figure out what the island is actually for. 

Then we went under the bridge and adventured around the left side of the island. These little ridges filled with water are actually deadly, they were swarming with mosquito babies and it made my skin crawl. Vlogged quite a bit so I actually recorded the tiny black pests swarming in the water but I don't plan to go back to that scene any time soon. Also found a dead crab, joy! 

Maybe after JLPT finishes I'll edit all my footage and make it an actual vlog 

"I'm on top of the world!"

Like a little kid

He climbed onto the top of the cliff(?) and sat on the non-existent cliff chair LOL 

"Look at all my mates" 

Once again unaware of the 3 second timer when flipiping the LCD screen to selfie mode

Adventures on the other side of the island 

Trippy ridges 

I don't know why but looking at this makes me so uncomfortable 

These holds were all rimmed with salt and Dan at one point decided to dip his finger into one of them and have a little taste. We can now confirm that it is actually dried up salt LOL We also found a dead fish basking in the sun :(

Dinner time!

Whenever we head to La Perouse, we always dine in at the Thai restaurant (there's only one so if you guys really do want to try, it's not hard to find LOL) and I had been craving their laksa and pad thai for the entire day so I was beyond happy when we finally sat down to order. Dandan should also smile more more more more often because his dimples are too adorable :3

Realised that the normal owner (a Thai lady who has a Caucasian husband and a halfie son) wasn't there and all the cups and parts of the restaurant also changed... so did they change management?! There was also a sign of the restaurant at the entrance and neither Dan or I were familiar with it so I guess it's under new management... or the family's on holiday so they hired waiters idk. 

But yeah, our biggest concern was that the food would taste different because it might mean new chefs but we were reassured when the pad thai came out (it was amazeballs) and even more reassured when we tasted the laksa. 

Dan tried to take photos of the pad thai using the new camera (at absurd angles too hehe that cutie) but looking at them now, they weren't very... well positioned LOL so I'm glad I was able to take over and snap a few shots of the food myself ^____^ 

Our usual 'sexy wings' were renamed to 'chicken wings' and I found that a bit devastating crey. 

Can I just say that this is actually the best laksa I've ever had and the pad thai doesn't fall behind either. I have had my fair share of laksa but this is one I will always come back for. It's so creamy and rich and even though it is a little spicy, it still tastes amazing. 

Then we did our ritual halfway-food-swap! 

Visit to the beach to walk off our meal

Seagull prints hehe

The sun also decided to set 

These photos literally did not need any editing

Look at those clouds holy. For some reason I keep thinking about the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner

Dan did his usual stone skipping and as we decided to leave, two guys rocked up to the beach - one was setting up his tripod so I thought they were both preparing to take professional photos. Two minutes later, the other muscular guy strips down to his tight hot pink swimmers and poses in the ocean. I actually have a photo of this but I don't feel comfortable leaving it on my blog LOL 

Park time agains! Even though we both are too tall for the swings, we still try regardless hehe

I guess it's kind of a tradition for us to play on the see saw and ride it super hard (as dirty as that sounds) in order for the other person's ass to slam onto the ground. I think this is what they call love.
