First Week Back / Sunday, July 23, 2006
Wow, it's already a week since I've come back from Perth. Time passes so slowly when you're waiting for something, but if you're not watching it, it flies past. School is new and the same simutaneously; we go to school and do the same things everyday, and that becomes the purpose of life for a while, school. But something different happens everyday so it's still a day, instead the passing of time.
Met Eric on Wednesday afternoon. Good to see him again. Haven't seen him since February or so. Whoa he was really slimmed down. Hehe I need to get working again.
The social was on Saturday, which was really really crap. It's more like a really expensive dance ($70) than a semi-formal. People spent so long choosing the right dress and on the night it was too dark to see anything anyway. Haley used $115 just for her shoes O_O I'm very proud to say, of all the things I bought solely for the use of the semi was $29. $20 for pants (although they're also work pants) and $9 on a lock of white hair extension. Mwhahah that looks so cool. I wore school shoes (polished ^^), black pants, black shirt and white tie. I was the only girl this year to go in suit, so now everyone will remember me. YES!
At first we went to Sherlyn's house for the pre. Argh, that morning was horrible. My mum wanted to go to some where that was the same distance to Chinese school but in the opposite direction so I had to take the bus. I just managed to make it to the bus stop down from my house on time, but the bus went straight past me, so I had to go take the train. But because I was so rushed in getting the bus that got away on time, I had left my wallet and so my ID card at home and had to pay adult fare for the 3 zome daily which costs $4.50 (still bleeding) and when I got off at the city there was only 4 minutes until the bus to Mansfield left. I ran for about 2 minutes then gave up. I dragged my sorry self up to Myers, yay, another half an hour to wait for the next bus. I was contemplating buying a yummy looking crepe at Crepe Cafe but by the time I made up my mind to actually buy it there was only 15 minutes left for the next bus so I just didn't bother.
On the bus I saw a rainbow (R) hehe randomness but it did make me feel better. I fell asleep and nearly missed my stop, and was late to my new class. Although my last class was the funnest (apart from no Jo :( ) this class is pretty fun too. Excluding me, there's 3 girls and 3 guys. The teacher's really funny too. Second class and we got a 400 word essay X_X After school, I just managed to get to the bus station and take the bus back to the city. I wandered around and was going to buy a rose for Liv and Sherlyn since I was escorting them, but my stomach needed attention, so I ate and then took the train back home, 'got ready', and then played StepMania for about another hour waiting for OIivia to come pick me up.
There, we got changed; I spent aaagggeesss putting that extension in my hair, because it wouldn't clip in properly. When everybody had arrived, we took heaps of photos, (I dropped Liv's camera and I think I broke it!!!) and had some problems with the cars, but in the end, Rachael, Courtney and Kelsey went in the Rolls Royce, and Susie, Sherlyn, Olivia and I went in the Bentley. Sherlyn's Bentley is awesome because it was custom made for their family, and had their family crest on the inside. It was pretty squished inside since the back was only designed for two people, so I had to slide off most of my seat. But I found the whiskey holder (^_^)V I was meant to escort Olivia and Sherlyn, but when we got there Olivia and Sherlyn just stepped off the car and I'm like hey! you're destroying my reason of being >_
And as I said before, the formal was crap. There were only 8 tables because they wanted us to walk around and socialise, but it was damn crowded for 400 people. The food was pretty crap too. I spent half the night holding people's coats and shawls and trying to keep up with their wandering, and the other half eating and watching them dancing and playing pool. I payed $70 for this shit so I'm gonna eat its worth!!! But then I went home 2 hours earlier because I was just so out of place.
On Sunday, usual outing. Argh, Chris got his hair cut and now it looks terrible!! Ok fine, not that bad, but I laughed at him for about 2 minutes straight when I first saw him XDXDMinh was coming so I dragged Chris off to eat crepes. It tasted really nice but I made such a mess out of it. Man, I wish they had a chua bing store in the city, because I'd be there every week XD Afterwards, we went to pool and I had to stay and play, but it was fun after a while. I was having a lucky streak and sunk about 4 balls. My newfound technique (hit straight and hit HARD) seems to work.
Charlene wanted to go bowling but it was too expensive, and then they went to take sticker photos. I went to Elizabeth Arcade with them (Brisbane's sticker photo machines are a ripoff, it's $15, Perth only costs $5!! The quality is better but still...) I was stuck to the iloveegg ball machine and refused to take sticker photos since I was broke. Aww I want that iloveegg dragon :'( Browsed around DNA for a bit, and when they were finished they left for Replay and I met Raymond. We went to Replay too since there was nothing else to do. Charlene shouted Liv and I to DDR. DDR Supanova is sort of crap too, the arrows are a bit off sync and sometimes even if you had pressed it it passes through anyway.
Liv had to keep Maiki away from Raymond since he'd already said he didn't want to see him, and Raymond was being a little pissy about it. When I was playing DDR Liv came up and said something to me which I couldn't hear, and at the end of the game I went out and Liv was crying and said she wanted to go home, so everyone apart from Raymond went to see her off. No one had any idea why she started crying, so we just saw her off and separated. Chris and I lingered on top of the library for a while, then I got a curfew extension and we went to the park. It was wet. Turning point of which I felt really bad-sick.
At home I had to add Minh back on msn because I needed to get my anime back off him. Now he tells me he didn't really mean all the things he said. He thinks everything's alright now because he said sorry, he doesn't even think about all the people he hurt because he was in a bad mood. Ah well, StepMania makes up for everything now.
~keii~
Hopped!
