heart

so i had my first class yesterday. it's a study skills one, compulsory to do with any UPC ( university preparation course offered by SydU )
i feel so old .. to be still studying.. or starting uni now! but i really wanted to do this. you know. moving forward. learning new stuff.
and im proud of myself for making that decision of going back to uni. all morning i was nervous about catching a bus there, and not knowing what to expect in class etc..
but it turned out alright. and i think i'll be okay with the whole making an effort to go to class thing. coz its fun. kinda.

anyways. happy chinese new year to all who celebrates it. hope you have lots of FUN family gatherings to go to and hence receive lots of red pockets.(please refer to wiki for more info on red pockets/envelopes/hung bao) i know my $$ will go towards my uni course fees. *so grateful for this tradition*
oh oh.. the child in me was SO excited to see a lion dance in the city as its been awhile since ive seen one.. so i took some photos..




and since today is also Valentine's Day. Gav and I went to the city for lunch. we had my favorite - SUSHI! at sushi rio on sussex street.. YUM YUM. all plates are $3 for lunch. *faint* they're normally so cheap already, cant believe its only $3! to me thats equivalent to a *sale*. im more a food person than a clothes person.. so yeah..
Gav likes this crab rice thingy. its okaaay.

soft shell crab on tacos



then i got even more spoilt by having a chocolate gateau at Azuma's patisserie.


since ive been on an anti-fungal diet ( not a complete one.. but have been significantly cutting out sugar and yeast ) i havent had *ANY* sugar.. *sob sob* so i was VERY happi to have a cake to eat today. and on the plus side. the cake wasnt that sweet.
*smiles*




ordered a matcha latte for gav. which wasnt sweet either. so no guilt there. tee hee hee..
here's a pic of my giant cake which i gladly shared with Gav.



i wana go back and try their other cakes .. they looked so heavenly. but it wont be awhile since my anti-fungal diet is here to stay. *sigh*

ah wells.. im just happy i got to eat cake today!!!!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day~
