Boo hoo

I've had a long day, woke up at the 'ungodly' hour of 9 o'clock so i could attend market research in Crows Nest, they fed me coffee flavoured stuff mixed with cow secretions (milk, yes I believe thats its called) and got paid $30. Yay, that covered the cost of the 'GRAPHIC NOVEL' (thats right, not a mere comic bk) which I bought on Wednesday night.

Funny thing, the girl who was working in the comic store used to work at Hoyts. I remember her, I'd rather work at King's comics than Hoyts anytime too so I congratulate her on her wise career move.

So yes, what was I talking about again, ah yes, what else happened to me today.. ok

Well, then after market research it started pouring down. Took the train to Central and went to DIMIA (Department of Immigration & Indigenous Affairs) which is on Lee Street really near Central. Took my place in line, I was number G 282 so I had to wait for the 50 odd people in front of me to be served. Getting my return visa was a painless process, even faster than getting a drivers' licence. So after forking out $120 for a 5 year visa, I was free and feeling much happier knowing that I could safely travel out of Australia and come back again in time for session 2.

So then I met up with my stalker friend and accompanied her on a chaotic journey through the city to do her shopping. It was crazy!! I thought my family was crazy but her's takes the cake, she kept on getting messaged and called about what to buy and bring home, she's going back to her home country next week so her family expects her to bring back a lot of stuff. Apparently things are much cheaper here.

For those who like Japanese food and like it in abundance go try YUTAKA on Bathurst Street. Mon-Friday there is a buffet lunch for $12 per person. It was pretty worth it! You get one hour to eat, and there's plenty there. Being a buffet quality was a bit below average, but there certainly is variety.

List of things they served there today which I thought was good.

1. Prawns

2. Asian cup jelly candies ( you know the ones that children choke on and die)

3. Chicken Karaage

4. Agedashi Dofu

5. Chicken Teriyaki

6. Soba (hot and cold) / Udon/ Miso soup

7. Tempura yasai (vegetables)

8. Sushi- which was pretty fresh, no tummy troubles for me which is a good indicator.

So yeah it was pretty good. It costs more on weekends and obviously dinner is more expensive too.

Sat $16 per person
and $30 per person for dinner: I think it includes Sashimi and oysters.

No Sashimi and oysters today at lunch though, Boo Hoo!

anyway it was so filling that I didnt' have dinner today. After being called fat and a pig it just as well I'm skipping meals.
