Well yesterday was a really good day. Yasu came home early from work, around 3pm and then we took our newly fixed… yes fixed! car back with the mechanic (we had to drop him back at his workshop). Well, god, on the way, he started talking about cars and mechanical stuff and wouldn’t shut up. And who did he turn to when he started to talk about it all? Me.
I often find that Australians when faced with Yasu and I, mostly turn to me to talk instead of Yasu, even though Yasu can understand them just as well. It’s like what Japanese people do to me in Japan, talk to Yasu instead of me.
I guess, fear of the unknown, or the fear of the person not being able to understand what they’re saying. But anyway, I wished he had talked to Yasu because the guy kept going on about pistons and ball bearings and sparks and all this stuff I have no idea about because I don’t have anything to do with cars besides being a passenger in one.
I was trying to catch Yasu’s eye in the rear-vision mirror, as I was sitting in the back behind him, but he wouldn’t look at me. Probably a good thing or we both might have burst out laughing. Anyway, finally we get to the guys place of work and dropped him off and I climbed into the seat and Yasu was like “I could hear from your answers to him that you were totally clueless about what he was talking about”. The only problem was he didn’t try to rescue me the rascal!
Anyway, after that we didn’t have anything to do so we went and cruised some op-shops in an area near where Yasu used to live (before we met). We didn’t find much in the oppy’s really…and I couldn’t believe how overpriced things were. Like in the oppy’s near my mum’s house, crockery and bowls and casserole dishes and stuff are about $5 max, but in this one they were like $25. Even second-hand sneakers and stuff were $25 and you could get them cheaper if you went to kmart.
Anyways, after that we wandered around this huge oriental store and I bought some House Vermont Curry. It was pretty cheap for buying in oz, so I got a few packs. Looking forward to having curry now the rainy weather is back!
Well, on the way out of the shopping centre we spied a “sushi bar”, but the thing that looked curious was there were bags of prawn crackers for sale. We went in for a closer look only to find they were also making chinese meals.
You could get a Tokyo set meal for $69.99, which had dumplings, spring rolls, 4 x kutsu chicken (yes kutsu! we cracked up when we read that), 4 x omelettes and 2 x rolls of sushi. (I think it’s wayyy overpriced).
They also had an Osaka set but I can’t remember what was in it, that was like $99.99 or something worse haha.
But I can’t believe even on the menu they put “kutsu chicken”. What kind of sushi bar can’t even spell katsu properly? I think they were all filipino or thai’s who were running it to be honest. Yasu said I was mean to laugh but he laughed too. I wanted to take a photo but the shop was too busy.
So we turned around to go home and when we got in the car Yasu asked me if I wanted to have dinner out. I was thinking he meant KFC, but he actually meant at a restaurant. I really wanted to go to a new Korean buffet that had opened but I thought maybe not as I still have a few stomach problems that are exacerbated by spicy food so we decided to go when I was better. We ended up going to a Chinese buffet that we have been to before and it was really good! It’s kind of a wacky chinese buffet though because they have spaghetti, roast ham, prawns, chinese combination-like foods – curry, beef black bean, honey chicken, fried chicken, garlic veggies, those kinds of foods, and also curry puffs, spring rolls, samosa’s and lots of other stuff. I can’t remember it all, but it’s called Buffet King haha. Yasu of course always eats plates and plates of fried chicken and one time we went there they didn’t have it so we assumed that maybe they saw Yasu coming and took it away. But anyway, last night it was back and he had ALOT. I had a bit of everything and lots of tapioca & coconut pudding for dessert, yum yum.
After that we went home but we were both really sleepy. On the way home I saw some funny lights in the sky headed directly towards us, and I knew it wasn’t a plane, because the lights, kind of hard to explain, were on two levels. The right side was higher than the left side, and the craft seemed kind of in a V shape. When the right side lights went on, the left side lights went off. But each time the lights came on (red, gold, white), they seemed to rotate around in a circle. Well, the craft flew over us and to the left of us, and I was lamenting the fact I didn’t have a camera with me. Such a bummer! The way it had come, meant it had gone straight over our house! By the time we got home I had lost sight of it though, like it had disappeared. It had a kind of inner illumination so I could see the shape, it was magnificent!
It made me think, how many nights I spend outside in summer and I do see stuff, but never as magnificent as this. Then I realised, everyone is outside in summer, what a better night for an ET craft such as this than a dark, wintery, rainy night when no-one is outside? I think I’m going to be doing some ufo hunting over the next few nights to see if I can catch it again.
Below is a picture I drew, not the greatest, but you get the gist of what I saw.
(BTW, Yasu knows we saw something but won’t admit that it’s ET by nature, but he said he doesn’t know what it is…he’s still in denial)
