Well everyone seems to be updating so I think its my turn now.

Yes Ling, you are right. I have been busy which is the reason for the lack of updates. Let's see, where to start? I actually can't remember what I have been doing everyday but I do know that I have been out everyday/night.

Ok, Saturday was Chi's party.

Sunday... omg, I can't remember back that far! haha. Though I do remember that we have been REB (Rani, Ernie, Bud)'s apartment so many times in the past two weeks! haha. It's quite bad actually. Feels like I'm living there but not paying rent! >.< But its been fun hanging out at their place. Sunday we went for dessert at their place. Bought cheesecake and apple crumble from safeway and had it at their place. The apartment looked quite bare because they only just moved in on Saturday. But Rani had his computer there already so we listened to music and talked till it was time to go.

Monday I worked on my birthday invites. Hope I've sent them out to most people already. I also had dance practice for O-week. It was a very short practice though. I got there. Practiced for about 20mins. And then Jane came along and showed us photos from the production. And bascially that was the end of the practice. Was gonna go to REB's but I was tired and couldn't be bothered walking all the way there. Plus I thought I better give them a break from me. hehe.

Tuesday was a sad depressing Valentine's Day because I had to spend it with my driving instructor. And not only that, he was yelling at me again for making 'stupid, irresponsible' mistakes. Bleh. I was suppose to go out with the guys that night, to REB's again but I was too upset about my driving lesson that I had an early night.

Wednesday... well wed was a big day for me. I was nervous yet excited. If you wanna know why... just ask! :D hehe.

Thursday... I worked at Chadstone for the first time. Yes, at Chadstone. I got a call at 10am from the manager asking me to fill in a shift because one of the girl's was sick. I was a bit hesitant because Chadstone is a lot bigger and you really need to know where everything else to be able to help the customers. But i thougt, well, they know I've never worked there so they cant really blame me if I stuff up! lolz. It was enjoyable working there though. Got to work in a different type of environment which was interesting. The manager trained at Knox for a couple of days so I had already met her once. And she is the easiest person to get along with. Very very friendly and very helpful. So working there was a breeze. I had lotsa fun. She said she might call me quite often now because she feels she needs another casual person working there sometimes. Good because I get more shifts, bad because of the distant and bad because I start uni soon! Why didn't she call me earlier in the holidays when i had no work?! lolz.


Friday, I went shopping with Mel, Mikey and his sister, Michelle. Mel and Mikey didn't want to go to Chadstone obviously because they work there. So we decided to go to Southland instead. I needed to find a 21st present and to get envelopes for my invites. It was a fun day... especially the last part where mel and I stumbled across Valley Girl which was having a sale. Clothes from $4.95 to $9.95!!! What a bargin! lolz. We just had to buy something because it was so cheap! haha. I bought a blue summery top... Mel bought a pink singlet. We spent most of our day in that shop. Poor Mikey. haha. But he was good about it. He found some Cd's that he wanted to buy. So at least he got something outta that shopping trip. hehe.

At night, Tina and I went to Jong's 21st. The 21st are all starting up again. We went to Manchaster Lane. I've always wanted to go there because I've had a few invitations to go to that bar but have never been able to go. So I finally got the chance to check out the place. OMG! It took us forever to get there though! haha. I met up with Tina around 6ish at Myer. We still hadn't bough Jong a present yet so we had some last minute shopping to do. I suggested to get him a card holder coz that was something a guy could use right? We had a look in Myer, saw the card holders and decided to look around to see if we could find anything better to buy. Bad decision. We walked all over Myer looking for this one present. And then decided to make it even harder and look in Melbourne Central. haha. We walked and walked until we could walk no more. Took us about an hour until we finally decided that we would just get card holder. lolz. So back we went to the same place we started at, except this time our feet were really really sore! Both of us were wearing high heels so it was ever worse! lolz. Anyways, we made our way down to Manchester Lane. I think that day it was made for us to walk as much as possible. Every decision somehow resulted in us walking that extra bit further. To get to Manchester Lane, we walked in the opposite direction, all the way up Flinders Lane thinking it was the right direction, only to realise the numbers of the buildings were going down instead of up. So we walked all the way back in the right direction and eventually found the place. It was a very cute, cosy kind of place. Nice place if you wanna just hang out and chill with a few friends and have drinks. Very warm friendly atmosphere. They said its a jazz bar but the music to me was nothing jazzy. They played a lot of oldies... but nothing really jazzy.

Saturday I worked in the afternoon at Chadstone again. I'm getting used to the Chadstone store now that I'll get confused when I go back to Knox! lolz. But its good, getting extra shifts. Not getting many at Knox atm.

At night was Ernie's 21st. She had it in Flagstaff Gardens. Very nice place to have a little picnic. Was interesting to see that there were three defined groups of friends that she had invited. Her highschool group, Uni group and Church group. hehe. We were kinda anti social at the start and were in three groups all isolated from one another. hehe. Its hard when you have a big party like that... everyone already has their groups that they're comfortable with. You try and make sure everyone mingles but sometimes it just doesn't work. When it got dark, we went back to their place and had the speeches and cake... well ice-cream in this case. hehe. I was really tired that day. I slept all the way back home... when I woke up, we were just dropping Chi home and everyone else was gone! lolz. Slept like a baby when I got home. hehe.

Sunday, I went to work. At Knox this time. Was good to be back in familiar territory. hehe. Went to REB's again. This time we had dinner at Notturno on Lygon. The famous Cabornara dish that Mikey loves. hehe. This time we brought Dave, Rani and Bud along to try.

Monday I had dance practice again. Much more productive than last time. hehe. Was getting nervous as I knew the performances were only a few days away.

Tuesday, dance practice again.

Today we had our performance for O-week at Melb Uni. Was somewhat successful. We were suppose to perform on a stage that was set up but it was soooo small!! We would have fallen off the front of the stage if we performed on that. lolz. So we were able to get the coordinator of the program to let us perform on the concrete part near the stage. I think it was better because where the stage was, it was kinda tucked away under the trees. Where we danced was more open and a lot more people saw us dancing. I didn't think the crowd was very enthusiastic though. I guess not everyone is into dancing as much as us. hehe. Well, 2 performances down, 2 to go. OMG! It's gonna be 34 degrees on Friday!!! HOT HOT HOT! I'm gonna be sweating!! lolz. We're performing at 1:45 in the afternoon!!! It's gonna be sooooo hot! Anyways, you guys can come watch and sweat with me on that hot hot afternoon! hehe. Performance is at 1:45pm on the concrete lawn at Melb Uni for tomorrow and Friday. Come support Flare! :D

Well sorry about the long post. lolz. Guess you'll read it when you're bored. hehe.
