Green peppercorn & a few more drawings.

After drawing the picture of Joseph Gordan-Levit i was so pumped to draw more.. so i stayed up all night watching '10 things i hate about you' and figuring out who to draw..
i ended up finding this picture of Michael Jackson..
After my nap i woke up at 6pm and Dave took me out to buy some picture frames.. and drew another picture =D But Audry Hepburn isnt normally on my list of people to draw, only because she was an icon, but other than that (and that she was beautiful) i dont know much about her.
But i wanted to make a series of drawings of people that inspire me, Marlyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley are on the list, but i cant figure out who to draw for the forth picture.. 

i might need to buy more frames tho..

But i found it really hard to think of people to draw.
and after asking on facebook for some suggestions, it made me realise how much different things inspire and interest everyone else..
which is obvious already.. duhh.. but its just such a difference..
but every suggestion i got was pretty much a portrayal of their own personality..

But what inspires me and makes me heart melt.. are people and voices..
when i hear a singers voice or song that moves me.. or makes me weak on me knees,
or how stunning a women is that i cant stop staring at her..
or when an actor or person play their strengths or weaknesses....

That is what makes me what to draw.

 I've also got some high paying drawing requests.. woo, might be able to make a living out of that hahaha...
but im so afriad this phase will fly by sometime soon, so im making the most of it now.
*must not think about any other hobbies, must not do any other hobbies!!*


Tuesday night was my first double date with Hairly and her boyfriend.
We've been talking about this new place that opened up online for the past week because we were suppose to go the week before.
i actually had a job interview with them to start working there but i wasnt too interested working at a restaurant again. so i never called them back.
This was the new store that the owner of 'Holy Basil' opened a month ago in Fairfield.
When Tony and i were talking, he told me he was going for a completely new concept, but told me i had to wait and see.
 Raw beef salad, $12.90
 Satay chicken skewers, $8.90
 Chilli basil & garlic beef, $12.90
 Lao sausages, $10.90
 Thai fried rice with chicken, $12.90
 Duck red curry, $16.90

Everything was normal, everything you would normally get at holy basil..

 But i guess what the new concept he was talking about was the dessert bar/menu
 Vanilla creme brulee, $14.00
 Pandan creme brulee, $14.00
 Smashed pavlova, $14.90
This was huge tho, i couldnt finish it.. also, it was sooooo sour!!!!!
But that was the only disappointing thing there..
The food was good, but its exactly the same as holy basil, which is a pro and con, because holy basil has pretty decent food, but because this place is located in Fairfield, and holy basil is located in Canley heights, it just seems so wasteful to have the same stuff at 2 places that are so close to each other.

But my boss believes its not a bad idea when holy basil gets pretty busy that they can send some of the people to the bigger place in Fairfield.

 i camt home that night and found that anya had left me a some dresses and a cute little note saying she hasnt worn them and that i could have them =)
i like the red dress, but the back makes me itchy, so i might change it.
Chocolate pearl milk tea!!!!
i had to blog about this because its so weird!!
chocolate and tea..
TOGETHER!
we've had this on our menu at little star ever since i started there and i never ever tried it because its chocolate!
and everytime someone would order it i would give them the "really! but its chocolate" look... (lol, cause im a bitch that way)
but i decided to try it a couple weeks ago, and now im completely addicted.

Its chocolate!! who does like that.. but its not sickening like chocolate smoothies/milkshakes/hot chocolate..
you know.. 

Dont mind my spelling and stuff, its 5am, so tired now ><
sleep time!!
