Ryo's Noodles ,Crows Nest.

Just north of Sydney, right after the bridge lies this little ramen shop situated in almost the middle of nowhere. Despite it being a Tuesday night me and Nat got there at about 7pm, we still had to line up for about 5minutes wasn't too bad but i was surprised by how small this place was. It was barely big enough to fit about 25 people and it's quite impossible to avoid sharing a table, I personally don't mind but if your someone who does, be warned.
Then menu was quite small which i like by the way. It gives me less to choose from and less umming and ahhing about what I want to eat.
Nat got the Salt flavored pork soup with roast pork, shallots and sesame. Soup was quite thin but i found it a little bit too salty for me but Nat did prefer this over my bolonaise.
Gyoza, which is Nat's fav. This was nothing spectacular something average in taste but great in value!
And i got the Miso Bolognaise and a last minute decision on the Pork rice ball (pictured at the top). The pork rice ball was surprisingly great! So simple and plentiful on the seaweed which i just drool over and the rice had just the right amount of mush to hold itself together, but it was a little bit too big to take a bite in one go.
The Bolognaise was very filling, probably because of the rice ball before hand but nonetheless i struggled. Despite being called 'bolognaise' there was no sense of tomato bolognaise sauce in here. They're Japanese so i didn't expect it. By the time i got to the noodles, they had partly absorbed alot of water and almost clumped up, I quickly tossed it up mixing all the mince and shallots together evenly and it was great! Near the end of it i noticed a tiny bit of spice in it but it was bearable so it was ok.

Nice simple foods for a great prices. Not the best in the world but it has got me wondering when my next visit will be.

Picked up!

Bye bye Camry, I'll try not to forget about you!
Hello sp23!
I finally got to pick up my car today and just a little bit early too! I'm so glad i called up just before lunch, it gave me ample amounts of time to go to Neutral bay pick up the car and come back. Had a quiz at 10, finished at 11, called up realised all the rego and slips were done and me and will headed off to pick up my new car.
Again driving it at first was fine, no dramas! Except i stalled at the first set of lights because i was playing with the radio, hehe silly me.

Loving my new dash display. Notice how my datum for zero is not on the horizontal axis but instead at the bottom of the vertical. Well because of that I'm not quite use to it yet, i may think I'm doing 60 because I see the relative position of the needle but in actual fact I'm probably doing 80 ish, quite dangerous but I'm warming to it.
Oh and i specifically really wanted to get this car early because of the rego (that and I was eager to drive it). Today is the 9th i get 6 months rego, thus it expires on 9th of February. I really wanted to avoid the 14th because 14th Feb is my sister Susanne's birthday and I just didn't want anything to clash with that. I don't think she will ever know I planned that.

Axis of awesome - 4 cord song.

In the comment box. "pop music just got raped" lol !

Off to find each and everyone of those songs to listen to now.

My first car!

My first car! It's a 2007 Mazda 3 sp23. I have been on carsales.com.au for quite some time now and today was the day i finally made a decision. For these past two weeks i have been to numerous car dealerships to inspect any sp23 in a hatch that came along. I have been to dealerships that went from Kogarah, Penrith, Parramata road and my final destination was Neutral Bay.

I came across sp23's that came in a limited edition yellow, ones that struggled to start and others that have obviously been in an accident before. Also there were ones that were perfectly fine too! What appealed me to this one in Neutral Bay was its km's It has only done 19000kms! That's almost a brand new car!

The story goes, a lady bought the car new off the dealer requesting a 5 speed but someone fucked up and she got a 6 speed. She apparently thought she would be able to deal with it but in the end she really disliked the gear ratios and the constant gear changing. So she went to that dealer at the end of 2008 to trade in that car for the same exact car but in automatic. It's legit, i checked the log books and it had it's 20,000km service past mid 2008 and It's been sitting at that dealership for more than i year i assume.

I test drove it today, not to see if i like the feel of the car but it was more a check up on how the condition of the car was and it was perfect! I found it so odd that the dealer took me around the block once, got out and said i can test drive it myself. lol! Not too sure if that guy was a bit silly or super busy.

Now i haven't driven many manual cars in my life but i have and I'm not too confident. But when i sat inside, foot on the clutch, shift gear, accelerator and easy off the clutch. The car was surprisingly easy to drive! I didn't panic, i just took my time. Then when i got lost in the busy streets of Mosman/Neutral bay i just started to play around with the gear ratios because i too feared that i wouldn't like the 6 speed. But it was fine, something i can defiantly enjoy.

Pulled back into the dealership, got out and then observed the colour because that was one thing i was a bit taken back on. It was advertised as blue, but it's not it's more like a turquoise green/blue colour. More blue in the sun, dark green in the shade and probably poo green at night. lol But i really did like the idea of getting an almost brand new car! So we started talking.

The car was advertised at 25k and I was asking for 10k for the Camry trade in. John (the dealer) said I was asking for too much on the camry. Then we spoke about the number on the camry and the last i heard of it was the 8k-9k mark, then out of nowhere he shoots me an offer! I gave him a figure below that and he turned to me and asked "Did you say that so we can meet each other halfway?" ..... me "Yep", he cracked up instantly! Then done, the car is mine.

How easy was that! I was actually prepared to walk away from that car if it hadn't worked in my favor because i had about 3 other sp23's lined up. But for my first car buying experience it was fun! I was a bit nervous at first but now i don't know why i was in the first place.

So the camry is still at home and the sp23 is just waiting for rego and greenslips. So I should have it by next week!

Lion dance? no Tiger~!

So very strange..

Sex party vs Family first.

I think if that, if the lady representing Family First could let loose, she would of started a big punch on with the other lady. lol
