Nothing like going out with a close friend for a good catch up with some added intellectual stimulating discussions about politics and world events (that kind of made me sound pretentious). But besides that the Japanese restaurant which was Zenya on Rowe street was quite mediocre with its food. The service was quite slow, I think they were a bit understaffed? We were located at the back so we could feel the cold wind now and than from the opening of the back door and was quite hard to get attention from the waiters. Besides that it was a nice little restaurant.

July

July has been a mixture of a blur, I have been working like crazy, getting from one job to another cutting the line. But besides being a working bee, I have booked my flight, got bdo tickets, celebrated my dad's birthday! By going to an xx concert...LOL! But I did take him to a game to make up for it. So it has been a pretty good month but I do need to get onto my taxes, ugh.

MCA

I finally went to MCA after it finished renovating, the view is really great especially if you are on the right lift and on Level 4's verandah. Level 3 is not complete, so I only saw the second floor's collection. I really liked Robert Owen's piece, something about the colours and it contrasting from each other. I don't know, in a way it inspired me. "Live life colourful" in some weird sort of way. But my favourite two pieces particularly were the shell slippers and the china sculpture.  

 Shellworked Slippers is by Esme Timbery an Aboriginal artist. 

 A close up of one of her pairs, my photos seem to have a yellow tint in them.

My second favourite is China, China by Alyxse? (unfortunately I can't remember)

This sculpture just really spoke to me, maybe its the whole second culture identity shit? I think she was born overseas and now lives in Australia. But I just really love it. The detail, the design, the delicateness of it all. Sometimes I really wish that I was able to express myself artistically. Be able to paint or draw or scalp. In Vicky Christina Barcelona, Christina says:

You know, I can appreciate art and I love music, but...
It's sad, really,
because I feel like I have
a lot to express
and I am not gifted.

Woody Allen just understands me so much sometimes. But all my artistic friends tell me to stop thinking and just do. One day.

Afterwards I joined a friend for Pizza at the Pizza Hut buffet and spent 3 hours at Galaxy World.

Baroqueeee

Lydia and I decided to go celebrate us finishing our uni semester by going to the Baroque Bistro at The Rocks. Lydia got the "Le Roi Soleil" a mango and mandarin mousse, the ice cream was so good! I got the "Pompadour" which was a raspberry mousse. Both were really nice and soft but I did think that the outer skin was a bit thick and set to long that would leave a weird texture in your mouth (if that made sense). But besides that it was really good!
