5th March 2010 <3 my BFFs Jane and Greg. We went to Surry Hills Longrain for dinner to celebrate my job offer. We ordered

• Stir fried squid & smoked speck with ginger blackbean snow peas & chilli
• Twice cooked lamb shoulder stir fried with red curry paste wild ginger & holy basil
• Caramelised pork hock with five spice & chilli vinegar
• Sample plate (for dessert) containing Coconut caramel custard with grilled banana, Vanilla Flavoured tapico with palm sugar ice cream, Black sticky rice, custard apple & sweet coconut ice cream and Coconut & durian pancakes with passionfruit ice cream.

This would be the 1st time I have gone to a super expensive restaurant and it would say the cost was worth it (although I do feel bad that my BFFs shouted me $179.50 for dinner) for the quality of food and spending time with my two best-est friends in the world. The fried squid and smoked speck was disappointing as we were expecting something more grand but otherwise everything else was perfect. I loved the caramelised pork hock! Perfectly cooked – crispy and tender and it caramel was just right – not to sweet or salty so not sicken.

12th March 2010 Dinner with Buie at Giovanni’s at Birrong. As it was in a bowling club, the atmosphere was very causal and it was order and pay and grab a beeper. I ordered a Tortellini Boscaiola and Meat Lovers pizza. Pretty reasonable price and yummy for club food. It was great to catch up with Buie as we are both so busy with work/interviews/studying.

18th March 2010 Lunch at Ikea with Ken. I’ve been craving for hot dogs and after a long morning of shopping we decided to drop by ikea for some cheap lunch. I actually wanted bangers and mash but apparently that is served after 5:30pm so I settled for $2.95 meatballs and mash. But that wasn’t enough so we went downstairs for $1 hot dogs and had some mustard. I starting to like mustard more and more I have it! I might even replace my love for bbq sauce!

This was an extremely long day of shopping. I’m surprise we even have the energy as been spent the whole of March just going shopping for 3-4 days a week! This day we went shopping around North Parramatta then to DFO, Rhodes and then finally Macquarie Centre.

19th March 2010 Due to the Event Cinemas $10 tickets promotion a month ago, I had two tickets that were almost expiring so Ken and I decided to watch Greenzone. The storyline/plot was good but the handy-cam shoots gave Ken and me such a headache. Before the movie, we decided to finally go and eat at Outback Steak House and the food was alright. I still like Ribs and Rumps better, although the rib sauce does get sickly sweet.

20th March 2010 I had dinner with the girls & partners + greg at Perama Greek Restaurant for my 24th birthday this year. I was recommend to me by a friend as I wanted to try something new. I don’t think any one ended up liking it as we got the banquet. Most of us were expecting lots of food (especially meat) as we had experienced at a Lebanese banquet but we all felt we got really ripped off. Afterwards I was still starving so I went searching for dumplings, but my bad mood made me lose my appetite after I finally found a dumpling place. We all ended up at Homer’s Cafe in Ashfield with the group in an intense discussion.

22nd March 2010 Happy birthday to me I got bought myself the Logitech Gaming keyboard (G110) as I wanted a lit keyboard so I could work during the night without the lights on. I also got Ken a early birthday gift (foot massager) as we been shopping heaps and his feet hurt a lot! He got me flowers for my birthday! <3 Never received flowers before for my birthday and they were purple too so I was very excited and happy.

24th March 2010 Lunch at Cabra at my favourite place – Viet Trung. I really love eating here. Cheap and makes the food the way I like it.

25th March 2010 We had an expensive lunch at Hilltop Phoenix at Castle Towers and we weren’t even satisfied! It was a long day running around trying things on, shopping and exchanging good so we ended up getting hungry again! Headed up to Hornsby Westfield just to check it out and it was a really long drive.

26th March 2010 Mum ordered me my birthday cake at Tin Tin Cake Shop. I absolutely love the cake here. It was so fluffy and light, I can eat the whole cake without getting sick! I also got my new phone – Nokia N97 Mini in black! Yay! A very spoilt few days for my birthday.

28th March 2010 Birthday dinner with the North Shore group for the March babies at Stephanos Ristorante.

I had lunch and dinners on the other days including the days until the end of the month but I can’t seem remember where!
