Since the last post..

Okie doks, since the last post, I have been immersing myself in some arty farty stuff and loads of shopping hee.

Friday morning was spent at the lovely State Library strolling through all the art and photos exhibitions. It was my first time inside..and I was going to see the exhibition on FAMOUS, Karin Catt Portraits there. The potraits were great, ranging from Eminem, Elton John and Keira Knightly to Bill Clinton and Dalai Lama. The interior of the library was impressive and extremely beautiful as well. Love it!! This trip to the library was totally inspiring for me haha..

Met up with Claudio after for shopping at Chadstone, the biggest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere! We started on our separate ways upon reaching there (to make the most of our time there lol) and met at Laurent's for a short teabreak before embarking for round 2 of shopping :)

Went back with quite a few big shopping bags! Hee..

A couple of weeks ago, Claudio and I were having a conversation about painting and arts and I mentioned I miss painting so much. It has really been a while since I last did a painting :(Claudio then got this brilliant idea that he will get me all the materials and I, shall paint a picture for his place. And so he did.

So on Saturday, after the highly inspring trip to the library which puts me in an arty mood, I got down to painting. What joy it brought me! The sunlight was streaming in through the huge window in the living room, casting a nice warm glow on the empty canvas...

After some hours...tadah! My first painting in Melbourne:) I'm pretty happy with it. What do you think?

Passed it to Claudio today. He seemed pleased with it :)

We had dinner with Bani as well at this hot pot place at Russell Street.

$19 per person for eat all you can. Not too bad a deal!

We opted for the Yuan Yang and the spicy soup base was really hot! Claudio was the one eating mostly from that part of the pot (and I just got news that his tummy is not reacting very well to all the spice hee).

I'm so totally stuffed now. Urgh. Anyways, school has started again and my first class would be on Wednesday. Modules this semester include Food Chemistry (sounds interesting!), Quality Assurance ( this would be a toughie) and Molecular Cell Biology.

I need to settle down into STUDY mode..

3 HDs pls!?!
