Hey, its my tuition-kaki, Ronnie!
Happy Birthday, you!!

You so far away lah. All the way in UK-land.
Being so anti-social n all.
:(

Well,
Cheers to the days of MrLee's tuition and Crew d'Alonso and "prefectly" duties (which we all know, means bumming from actual classes and hiding from ChoongHeadPrefect).
My fellow bio-droplet :D

Don't be such a stranger okay.

Love lots.

Happy birthday, Christine!!
Missing the good ol' days of school,
Staying over at your house with Billie, waiting for SPM results,
Eating ferrero rocher chocolate ALL night long..

Love you lots, Chrissy..!

What did i want to say.
I forgot.
I was thinking of what I was gonna blog, and decided to visit other ppl's blogs to see what they've been up to.
So i saw Hily's yummi-licious cupcakes, which she selfishly won't share with me. Selfish!!
And i read about Li's Lizard Literature. (for lack of a word.. was gonna write Li's Lizard Adventures, but this sounds so much better..)

Then I visited Van's butterfly-filled blog.
Regret.
Damn woman went and posted up the results of American Idol on her blog.
I JUST downloaded it, and was gonna watch.
And now I know the results already.
Thanks alot, Van!!..

:D
I'm chilled.
No worries.

So.

Went out to the usual haunts again on Wednesday night.
State of Origin was on that night
(for all you non-Aussie people, its like the biggest Aussie footy game of the year)
Hence the entire world was out in the clubs.
And when i say "entire", I really mean ENTIRE..
So friggin crowded to the max..
Had to hang on to the back of Ben's shirt or grab his hand in the sea of people (who're much taller than me) otherwise I'd so totally get lost.

Some drunk guy (on crutches, I might add) tripped on the stairs,
And pushed me, making fall down one stair
I hit my shin on the corner of one stair.
OUCHies..
Now I have a massively HUGE bruise on my shin.
I can feel it when I run or jump up and down.

Ryan's having people over at his place tonight.
His parents are out for the weekend.
I'm missing out on all the fun.
Boooo..
All because I have a handball game tmr morning, so i have to be up in Sydney, instead of down in Kiama, where all the fun is happening.

Sigh.

Oh, what else.
I applied for a casual job at a shoe shop down Crown Street Mall..
It's called M&Michael's Shoes..
It's like a little family-owned shoe shop, which sells proper shoes like DocMartens, Birkenstocks and RM Williams.
Ben (yes, another Ben..) owns the place,
His family has been running the shop since the 1950's..

So I did a trial run this afternoon,
For about an hour or so,
Was supposed to watch how the whole system runs, and try n familiarize myself with everything.
Then there was an influx of people, all of a sudden.
So I helped sell shoes!!!

*proud moment*

I sold two pairs of shoes to this lady
ALL by MYSELF!!

*even prouder glee-fulness moment*

Should've seen me in action.

Me: D'ya think you wanna try them in black as well?
Lady: hmmm...
Me: Well, you can never have enough black casuals. And they are a pair of really comfortable casual-work shoes.
Lady: Alright, sure, no harm in trying..
Me: Not a problem..!

..two minutes later..

Lady: Okay, i'll get them both!!
Me: *acting cool and calm* Sure, I'll just ring them up for me (but on the inside, i was "yes yes yes!!")

hahahha..
Let me syok-sendiri for a while la okay,
I never work properly before.
:D

Friday night

Ben's parents away for the weekend

6 willing and able persons

Party Poker Night!

Ben's house is really really nice.
Wooden features, with a pretty backyard and a killer oceanview.

I learnt how to play proper Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
Otherwise known as the James Bond Poker.
Learnt how to bet with real chips n everything!
I know what a "blind" is.. and how to "burn" cards..
:D
I'm not as stupid as I look.

In between games,
The boys started fooling around with the funniest cap-thingy in the world.
Everyone wore it, but i got the funniest shots of Geordie n Steve, the two clowns of the night.

Boys got tanked AS on tequila shots and Geordie's CowboyCocksuckers (awful name, yummy drink)
Ate nacho chips n the world's best CaramelSlices in the ENTIRE WORLD.
Ben's Mom is the best caramel-slice lady in the world.
Then, as all parties must come to,
We started cam-whoring.
:D
(got alot more camwhore-ish pictures, but i lazy to add)

Then we watched Happy Feet and Night at the Museum.
Everyone crashed on the couch and it was a tangle of feet and smelly socks.
TankedGeordie started doing flips over the couchs and push-ups on the carpet.
And spilt his Smirnoff all over Ben's carpet.
Should've seen Ben's face then.
Smoke coming out of his ears.

Then poor Ben, who was so tired,
Cuddled up next to his best mate, Stevie.
And Geordie started to get jealous, and had to get in.
Sure made Stevie's day!

Then at 4am, we decided that we were getting too cooped up in the house.
Walked out to the beach, in the darkness.
Freaking cold to the max, wei!
Boys started wrestling in the cold beach sandy water.
I just stayed out of it.
Rather smart of me, hey.

Then we watched the sunrise over the ocean from Ben's balcony.
All standing in the freezing cold.
Wrapped in thick blankets.

But that's not the end of it!
Ben donned on his cooking apron,
Fired up the barbie set,
Cooked us bacon n eggs. mmmm...

Then we went out to watch Spiderman3.
How excited was I, when Venom came on!!
Topher Grace makes such a good bad guy.
I don't care what other ppl say, Spiderman3 is a good one.
Kept nodding off in the cinema, but we kept awake by prodding each other over the seats.

Got back to my own apartment at about 4pm.
Said to myself, "Alright, I'll take a short nap, wake up for dinner, then take an early mark n sleep early"

Slept.

Opened my eyes and it was bright outside.
Thought to myslf, "Hey, that was a short nap, the sun's still out.."

Looked at the clock... 9.00
"Oh, gee, its awful bright for 9pm.."

...

O_o

Oh.

9AM.

Was the longest most dead-est sleep i've ever had.
Good, though.

To the person who has entered the list of my favourite people in the world..
(And that list is a pretty short one, trust me, you're one of the top)

Happy 21st birthday, you ol' fart.
Feels so sucky that you're all the way in Melbourne and I'm all the way here in Sydney,
And that I can't celebrate today with you.
But i'm sure you're having heaps n heaps of fun.
Try not to get too drunk, hey!

But i'm really really looking forward to my trip down to Melb.
Oh, the chaos that we're gonna wreak :D

Happy Birthday, Billie Tan Pui Li!!
Don't forget once we've graduated, we're supposed to open that company.. haha..
What was it again?
Tan & Ng Automobiles!!
hAHAHAHhahahaha

And also..
Not to forget..

To one of the most gila persons in the world that I know..
(now, this list is pretty long, but Karbz, you definitely TOP this list..)

Happy birthday, small Karbz!
I miss you lah.
Damn long time never see your crazy face edi.
You and your randomness and overly-friendly poking.. hahahaha... (that i might not miss)

But, you're coming to Melb too!
So we holiday together-gether!
The whole gang back together again.
Oh, the HAVOC that we're gonna wreak.

Happy Birthday, TongKarLeng!!!
All Kar-Ling's rock.. :D

Here comes a day of rarity!
KaLing and a night out!

But I must say, I did have tons of fun and laughs.
Went out to what I now know as the usual W'gong haunts (i.e. Glassy, Cooneys n Castros)

The boys very gallantly offered to pick me up from the apmt, so I didnt have to walk alone.
Lemme tell you,
Four guys + one very small (10footstep tour) apartment = no space to move at all!
Especially when the guys are all 6 footers.

Have to say that i love feeling small.
I've never felt small in my ENTIRE life.
Feels good.
Now i know what you skinny, little people feel.

This is Ryan,
My marketing saviour!
I swear, in the whole tutorial that we're in, the two of us are like the ONLY people who open their mouths to answer any questions.
The rest of them are like damn super stoned to the max.
So, naturally, we ended up doing the group assignments together,
And then i got to meet his crazy friends.
But i like crazy. Its my kinda crazy.
:D

Meet Ben,
The least crazy of the crazy friends.
When I saved his number on my mobile,
I didn't know what name to save it under, coz I've got too many Ben's on it already!
So i dubbed him BentheTallOne, coz he's 6ft4.
Tall and lanky and full of fun.
He was my protector on the dance floor. :)

Geordie is so black, he's white!
If that makes any sense at all.
Okay, so it doesnt make sense.
I have many a argument with Geordie about music.
He likes ghetto/black/doofdoof music.
I like.. Foo Fighters, John Mayer n Incubus. (i can hear the cheers from Hily already!)

Geordie: I hate soft rock! It's so not even music!
Me: As opposed to doof-Doof music!?.. when all they say is "yo yo, my nigga" really fast, and then call it music..?
Geordie (after more than a few drinks, and getting rather tanked): Yo, mah motha f**ing nigga, i aint takin' no sheet from yo rock-lovin' ass no mo!
Me: O_o... oh you're so tanked..
Ben: SHUT UP, geord!!

And then there's the fourth musketeer Stevie..
Crazy of the crazies.
But we love him anyway.
After all, he's the one who kept TankedGeordie from shouting in from of the apartment and waking up all the residents!
He managed to get Geordie to do push-ups in the middle of the road.
Most hilarious thing in the world.
:D

:D

Omigod,
I'm like the Queen of Procrastination.

Like, seriously,
I think if someone did like a research thing on my blog,
I wouldn't be too surprised if they found out that the highest number of posts on this blog are when I have..

(a) assignments due in the next few days,

(b) exams for which I ought to be studying for

You know what I've done today,
When I was supposed to be finishing my TWO 1000-word essay assignments (which are due tmr, btw)

I... sterilized my water bottles, contact lense cases and everything else in sight.
I... boiled water to fill my newly sterilized water bottles.
I... took out the trash (which evidently couldn't stay one minute longer in the bin.. it was disrupting my mental flow..)
I... stood at the window, glaring at the construction men, giving them the evil eye, coz they woke me up at the unhumanely hour of 7:30.
I.. did everything humanly possible.. EXCEPT my assignment.

Pfftt.
Darn these assignments.
