We had a farewell/secret santa lunch today! Ben is finishing his PhD and is yet to hand in his thesis, but we're sending him off anyways! Haha.
The event was at a little cosy place called Ivy's Cafe located on campus. I never knew we had such a posh place on campus! There is so much to the ANU campus that I have yet to explore!

We all bought gifts under five dollars and wrapped them up in pretty paper before throwing them into a big box. Each person takes turn to pull out a random gift and if you see something you like that has already been unwrapped, you get to swap for it with your unwrapped gift!

| Gift swapping! |
 |
| Thank you secret santa for my gift! :) |

Alcohol and Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce, anyone?

| Miniature foozball gift put to good use right away! I won 3-0 against Jasper! Ha! |
Other highlights of my day:
- my experiments didn't work, which means an early morning at the lab tomorrow for a repeat experiment. Ugh, science!
- played badminton and then had dinner out with a new group of friends. there was a meal at Happy's (restaurant) called 'banana chicken' which reminded me of a Malaysian snack called pisang goreng (banana fritters), except with added chicken and gravy.
- the hall steam cleaned the carpets today and now my room smells dampy. any idea how to get rid of this mildew smell other than to spray copius amounts of cheap fragrance onto the floor?
- also got my stock of iron pills for super cheap! it pays to have pharmacist friends! :)
yay for fun days! xo
