Tetsuya's

IMG_1767 It was almost two months ago i went to the 4th Best Restaurant in the WORLD!!! Courtesy of my brother in law of cos.

Tetsuya's in Sydney Australia, one of my dream restaurants to dine in and it came true. My first time having a degustation menu.

Head chef, Tetsuya Wakuda. An amazing and brilliant man to infuse delicate french cuisine with japanese zen.IMG_1769

The food is so good and the pictures will tell you the story...

End of exam and shopping!

University life for me has officially finish as i sat for my last exam paper for the 4 years of my course. I thought i would feel relieved and etc, but truth to be told.... i don't feel any different. Maybe i am just worried of the prospects in finding a job or work experience. Talking about work experience, for my engineering degree i need to do work experience for 3 months ( 60 days) in a technical or engineer position. My friends told me of their experiences in doing nothing for that three months and not getting paid a cent for their time at work too. Man that sucks. If i use that time to work for my Union job making coffees, i will be raking in the moolah and spend it on stuff that i want, such as the Nikon D50 or D70 or the Canon Rebel XT. SIgh.....Why do they have to be so expensive.

Wednesday i spent AUD 500 bucks on shopping in Country Road. I bought a suit with 2 pairs of pants, 4 work shirts, a green jumper and a belt. Everything was on SALE! The most dirty four letter worda i know. That is like my 2 weeks invested in those clothes. I will post them up and let you guys have a look.

Last week of Uni

Uni life has been a bit hectic this few weeks and resulted of my room to look like it just been ransacked by thieves. THREE weeks i haven't been able to clean my room not to say keep it neat.

My daily life for the last three weeks; (in spanish)

Me levanta a las 7 de la manana and cepilla los dientes. Luego, desayuna y var a ir universidad en el "train". Me trabaja camarero en un cafeteria en la universidad. Termina trabaja a las ocho y media de la noche. Var mi casa y cena con my hermano. Despues eso, habla con mi novia y dormir a las doce de la noche.

How's my spanish? Just had a quiz on it yesterday and i think i did bad. Can not be bothered with it already. I finished with all my assignments and quizzes for my course finally!!! The only thing that is left is my one final exam paper and 3 months work experience then i graduate in November. After 5 years staying in Uni , you just feel like you want to leave the place when most of the people that you know have left and you feel really old.

My photography and spanish class is definitely the best and fun classes that i have ever been. Everyone is so cheerful and happy, never i ever had that feeling in Engineering classes. Engineers normally keep to themselves and stress about work all the time. My spanish class is having a party in class and my photography class is going to Bar-hopping or pub-crawl (australia) on the 17th June for Lindsay's 21st! My first pub-crawl ever, kinda sad as i've been here for 5 years and this is my first!. There is a first for everything i suppose.

Oh yeah, just in case you wonder what i said in spanish just now:

In English:

I wake up at 7 in the morning and brush my teeths. Then , i have breakfast andn go to univeristy by train. I work in a cafeteria in the university. Finish at work at 8.30 pm and go home have dinner with my brother. Later i talk to my girlfriend and sleep at 12am.

Impulse

Last thursday on my way to Uni,

i just jumped from my train and took another train to circular quay and took the first ferry that i saw.

I was on my way to Watson Bay, the oldest fishing village in NSW.

Some pictures from my phone

Then had lunch at Doyles for their seafood special - fish and chips and calamari rings

After an hour there it was time for me to head back to Uni.

I am a sucker for ferry rides, who isn't! Wind in your hair and face, nice weather and awsome scenery.
