D3

SOooooooooooooo I bought D3 (that's Diablo III for those of you who don't game) yesterday before I went to work. JB hi-fi were having a sale - 20% off all games and like usual, I went on the very last day to get a copy. =_=

I didn't get to play it instantly because you know... work and all. Sunday nights are usually meh but yesterday was Father's Day (in NZ, Father's Day usually falls on the first Sunday of September) and IT WAS MEGA BUSY! We went over $5000 for the day which is our benchmark for a celebration. I didn't stay though because I was too lazy.

I figured I'd install the game but I ended up just mucking around before going to sleep. Then today (Monday) I didn't wake up till around noon and I spent the afternoon sorting through my iPhone pictures - will be uploading the ones from Japan and Hong Kong in a future blog post. Yes, I know... late by 9 months. When I got bored of sorting, I installed the game.

Here's the box in all it's glory. I suppose a hastily taken iPhone pic is not actually that glorious.

Just as I was trying to decide on my character, I received a text from Shu asking if I was free because it appears that her car got towed. Now, I haven't done anything all day, I had just woken up about four hours ago, rolled out of bed, brushed my teeth, washed my face, had breakfast... so I sighed and shut down D3 even before entering in a name for the character! Chucked on some minimally publicly acceptable clothing (would have been a total poster girl for Nike if my entire outfit wasn't completely black - Nike hoodie, track pants and shoes. Hideous mess I tell you.) and drove over to the shore to sort her out. Driving there now requires you to go through a tunnel, one that I've never been through before. I wasn't really paying attention and so when it suddenly went dark I was like "OMFGWTFBBQ?" Sorry if I panicked ok, tunnels are like a near extinct species in NZ. That was the most exciting thing that happened to me today. Drove through a tunnel.

When I got to Shu, it turns out that yes her car did get towed away but they just towed it onto a side street and left it safe and sound there. She didn't even have to pay the usual $200 to get her car back. Someone just had it moved. Weird. Afterwards, we left and went to Botany to try KiwiYo which had just opened at the mall recently - like in the last couple of days.

Mah yoghurt with some fruit and lollies

Ok the concept is this, there's this shop and it's all self serviced. There are a range of yoghurt that is dispensed from a few machines. There are like 8-10 or so different flavours and then you can put toppings on it. Lollies, fruit, chocolate, fudge, nuts, cereal and various syrups/sauces. When you're done creating your yoghurt, you head off to the register and it gets weighed - you pay by weight. The combinations are up to you, you can have one flavour, two flavours or all flavours with no toppings or as many as you like. It's just a matter of money.

I got Irish toffee flavoured yoghurt (it just tastes like coffee to tell you the truth) and on top of that I had a combination of blueberry tart and banana strawberry. The banana strawberry was weird. My toppings were pineapple, lychee and sour lollies. That cost something like $5.15!!! My god. Expensive. At the moment, I prefer Yoghurt Story over this mainly because the yoghurt from Yoghurt Story actually tastes like yoghurt... I'm going to have to give KiwiYo a few more tries before I can truly say which is best.

Following that, we went to have a feast at Yos Mite. Yeah, not a good idea. I probably gained 20pounds form that meal. Ugh. Too much meat, too many flavours. 

This post is going to end here now. Must get the pictures sorted soon so I can upload and blog about them. Long awaited.

Holidays!

Been on a break for a few days now! Had all my exams last week, hopefully I did well enough!

I had a strong need for coffee on the first day of exams, so while I was cramming my notes into my head, I bought a cup from the coffee shop next to my chosen place of study. Admittedly, the Lounge isn't the best place to cram. Everyone goes there with their friends for lunch! So there's lots of chatter and everyone tries to talk over everyone else!!

Coffee on my notes!! I don't think it helped much, but it tasted good.

And yes... I've started using Instagram. My username is Essenity. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing... currently, Instagram uploads to Facebook and Tumblr. Tumblr posts to Twitter and Twitter posts to Facebook. Confusing? Ugh.

To celebrate the end of exams... I went to work all day on Friday. Yes, that's right. Regrettably, it wasn't very busy that day. The next day however, was on a happier note. The restaurant made over $5000! I only worked lunch time and SC worked too. I have never mentioned how... I hate working with him. I've always hated it, although I grew to like him for himself. I still don't like his presentation. I'm too biased! Instead of working both shifts, I left for the gym. As usual, I had a nap in the car before I hit the gym. Afterwards, I met up with a friend of mine and we went to a yakitori restaurant called Yos Mite.

Playing Jenga at Yos Mite

Now, I'm not going to lie to you but for the longest time, I've always thought this place was called "Yas Nite". In fact, I STILL thought it was called Yas Nite even after I sat down. I made the revelation about halfway through our dinner. Sorry! However, I must say their beef tongue was absolutely a dream! Thick and flavoursome! So are their chicken knuckles and I seem to have developed a liking for chicken gizzard. This is surprising as I used to hate them until a chef at work cooked them once. It was delicious. I'm going to have to come here again with Shu.

Sunday was another semi-busy day. Not over $5000 but definitely over $4000. SC was in a terrible mood. Much too quiet and pissed me off a little. Whatever. He can go mope in his corner. Boss R came in and somehow I seem to have taken on the side job of promoting our Facebook page. (So while you're here, click on that link, like us and share it!) it's going to be my little holiday project. Of course, I hope it will be successful, but knowing me, I don't know how long I will stay motivated for.

Cherries I started munching on after work!!

So I might have condemned myself to a busy holiday, but I was rewarded when I got home with a bunch of cherries! Needless to say, I om-nom-nom'd them before I hit the sack... only waking after noon this Monday. I made a start on the Facebook project. I don't think Boss R was expecting me to be serious about it, but hey! I figured, if we're going to do this, we might as well do it right! Now I better get to bed, I have an early start tomorrow! Meeting Boss R at 10am! Hopefully, in a fully awake state...
