So its been a week since my last post. I think its time to update.
Last Tuesday I was desperately wanting to go to the movies with someone. I hadn't been to the movies in ages and I really wanted to go. A lot of people were going to the movies, but they were wanting to see the Fast and the Furious and I didn't really wanna see that. There were so many other movies that I wanted to see. So anyways, I asked everyone to come and watch the Break Up with me but no, I was unsuccessful... until the very last minute when I called Tina up. And yes! finally! someone wanted to see it with me! lolz.
So, I went to pick her up around 9ish... our movie was at 9:35pm. It was a tuesday night AND it was the school holidays so I wasn't sure if we would get tickets or not. Anyways, when I got to her house, I asked if she really wanted to go see a movie. lolz. Stoopid, I know, coz I was the one who really wanted to see one! haha. Anyways, I got to her house and I didn't really feel like seeing one so we went to Glenny and just hung out at Airstream. We had a good ol chit chat and caught up on a lot of things. In the end I was glad that we didn't go see a movie.
Thursday and Friday night I worked.
On Saturday, Jo left for Msia. it was sad to see her leave... even though its only for a month. Kel, Am and I took her to the airport. Her flight was at 3 and we got there at 2:50pm lolz. We didn't realise that there would be so much traffic. So anyways, we finally checked her in... oh and we had a bet on how much her luggage weighed. haha. I said, 23.8, Kel said 27.3, Am said 26 (?) and Jo and her sister both said 24. The weight was 24.8. I was exactly 1 kilo off! haha. Anyways, the person who got the right weight or the closest would have a free lunch from Kel, coz he made up the bet. haha. So Jo won... but then she didn't want anything to eat. haha. By the time we got to the airport, Am and I were starving! haha. Though my starving is different to Am's starving... haha. We had Hungry Jack's (because we were hungry... haha... yes, lame... i know) and it satisfied me but definitely not Am or Kelv. lolz. Oh wellz, they both had their pot luck to look foward to. And so did I.
At night, I had my pot luck on. Wasn't quite sure how many people were turning up coz most of them didn't REPLY! lolz. But it was a good turn out in the end. And we had a lot of food. I was worried that we wouldn't have enough food. But we did. The night was organised so that everyone could catch up with everyone else. We've all been so busy with assignments, work, exams etc that I thought it would be nice to have everyone together again. And it was a good night. I caught up with lots of people. During the night, when everyone had finished eating, we kinda split the group up. Girls in one room. Boys in another. haha. The boys were in the family room playing cards while the girls were in the living room talking and drinking tea. haha. We felt so old and all grown up. Us girls were trying to imagine us doing that in 5 years time when we're married and maybe with children. haha. It felt like we were the wives and our husbands were in the other room gambling or something. haha. It was such a funny thought.
So yeah, it was a good night. Well I had fun anyways.
Sunday I had to work. Then at night I went out for dinner with Tina and Darren. We went to a restaurant in Camberwell. Can't remember the name. It was a nice little place. The atmosphere was nice. The food was alright. But the service was horrible. We had this waitress who was serving us and she was just the most unfriendly, rude, impolite waitress ever. She didn't smile. She had a very abrupt way of speaking. And then when she came to collect our plates, she didn't even bother asking if we had finished or didn't even say excuse but stretched right over all of us while we were having a conversation. It was sooo rude! We would have usually had our dessert and hot chocolate at the same place but we were so unhappy with the service so we went somewhere else.
We went to a cafe that was open quite late on a Sunday. Everything else was closed. We had our hot chocolate there - Italian Hot Chocolate - and a lemon meringue. Was very nice, but both were very sweet. I sorta felt sick in the end. lolz. After we had a nice little chat, Darren decided that because we had nothing else to do, we should go line up for Krispy Kremes. haha. yes, hearing about the 3 hour wait didnt stop us. lolz. So off we went.
It took us literally 3 hours to get our krispy kremes. It was 3 boxes per car. The line was huge and also vey deceiving. You could see the line curl around the actual store and yes it looked long. But it didn't look like a 3 hour wait. But then, the closer you got to the drive through, you actually had to line up in rows. In each row were 4 cars. And there were about 10 rows. So one by one, they would let 4 cars go. Sounds fast... but it took AGES! There are right when they say it takes 3 hours. lolz. Anyways, we eventually managed to get our 3 boxes of krispy kremes. It was 1ish by the time I got home. Wasn't as late as I expected. But I was tired. I had had two late nights plus working. So I was glad we didn't stay out any longer.
Then I got up on Monday to work. And had an early night. I went to bed at 9pm.
Yesterday I worked again. And then went to see Click the movie. It was really good. An unexpected ending. Won't spoil it for those of you who want to go see it. But yeah. I enjoyed it. Shed a few tears though. haha.
Today, I'll be off to dance. After soooo long... I finally get to dance again. lolz. Then going to REB's place to stay over. Coz in the morning I have an education career's event thing on. Starts at 8:45am! :( So early. lolz. Then I have to work at night.
Another busy week ahead of me.

well... I finally finished my last exam for the semester on wednesday. It felt good to have finished absolutely everything for the semester... meaning no more studying... no more researching for assignments... no more waking up early to attend lectures and tutes... no more staying up late to finish off work. It feels like I haven't had a holiday since
My holidays didn't start until today even though my exam finished on wed. I had to work 9-5pm thurs and fri. I didn't mind... coz I love my job... but I just wanted to sit down and do nothing. I feel like I haven't had a break since the beginning of the easter break, which was in March. It's been nearly 3 months since I've had a real good sleep and to stress over anything. You know how sometimes you go to sleep and you just get this feeling that something's not quite right. Like there's something you've forgotten to do or you're stressed over something that's due in or you've got lots on your mind. Ive been feeling like that for the past 2 months and a bit and haven't had a decent sleep since. But not anymore. :D
I went to celebrate end of exams with my darling jess and ling on wed. It was an interesting outing... haha. We haven't hung out in so long and I forgot how much fun we can have together. I was so glad to spend time with them... especially before jess left to go back home for the holidays. We caught up, laughed over stupid remarks, played charades in public (dont ask haha) and just had a whole lotta fun. So anyways, while we were having dinner (at 5ish haha) we were saying how we've all been really busy this semester. And its true. Everyone has seemed to have had heaps of things going on in the past 4 months. It's weird. I know I've been flat out with a lot of things and not just academically related. And unfortunately, I don't think its gonna end this semester. I think next semester will be just as busy.
So today I had the pleasure of having a decent sleep in and waking up with absolutely nothing on my mind. lolz. It felt good. hehe. Watched a movie and now I'm online. So free. haha. I'll have to go tidy my room soon. One thing I promised my mum I'd do after I finish exams. lolz.

I worked at Elizabeth Street today. I was so stressed about it because I've heard that it can get really busy. And being my first time there, I wasn't prepared to have a mad rush of people asking all these questions or finding empty boxes that I didn't have a clue of where they were. And on top of that, I was stressed because it's a lot more formal than where I usually work. Therefore I had to find a nice formal black outfit to wear so i looked 'professional'. I had nothing in my cupboard. So I quickly just put on black pants, a shirt and a black vest over it. It looked alright. Semi-professional.
So anyways, I got to the station to catch the train but I was early. Good, I thought, coz then I could take my time and not hurry and be all flustered by the time I got there. But then I didn't prepare myself for getting my location of the place wrong and was only 15 mins early instead of 30mins early. lolz. But I found it in the end which was all that mattered.
I was also stressed because I didn't know the people. I wasn't sure of whether they were going to be really strict (being a more formal store and all) by bossing me around and wanting me to clean all their windows and glass because I was just a once off shift. But fortunately for me, they were the exact opposite. They were super nice! I couldn't believe how nice they were. I got along really with the two people that were working there today. They were both really friendly people to talk to. Once I was comfortable, which wasn't long after I stepped into the store, I became stress free.
Another bonus was that it wasn't busy. It was actually quite dead. So I didn't have to deal with angry, demanding customers who would think everything is your fault just because we don't stock what they want. Most of the customers were overseas students. Most of them couldn't speak English and was really hard to communicate what the products were all about. Half the time I couldn't really understand them but somehow they understood what I was saying. Well at least i think so!
So my day was good. Stressed for nothing - story of my life. haha. But yeah, I would mind working there again. Its a great atmosphere, with great collegues and great customers. Though I still prefer my usual store. hehe. Nothing is better than that! :P

If you're a good person... and you do something wrong... but feel bad about it... does that make you a good person still?
Do two wrongs make a right?

I called you... 9:30pm... the same time I always used to... and you answered the phone like you always did. I told you about my day and the significant things that have happened. You laughed, made fun of me and told me how much you've missed bagging me. I just giggle and smile. It was good to hear your voice again. I asked how you've been, you tell me how you still didn't like uni, although you were still getting distinctions, you were still working at the same place you have been for the past few years, you told me that your relationship was going well. We talked for hours until I had to go and study. As I'm about to hang up the phone, you tell me that you were glad that I called and that we will catch up again soon. I smile, although you couldn't see, but I knew you could tell that I was happy by the sound of my voice. I hang up the phone, still smiling. I was glad things were getting better........
I hear the alarm. 6:45am. Time to study. yes, it was too good to be true. Yet it felt so real. So sincere. Will it just remain a dream?
