partying during the holidays

so, it's been like a week and what have i been doing? check it out.

No. 1 on the list is Shirlene and Anisha's surprise birthday party.

so, both were on the Sunday. went directly after church and i was rushing, afraid that Nicole will give me the talk for being late and making her anxious. HOWEVER, she was the one who was late because she woke up late and took time doing her hair. haha. oh well, i waited for like 20 mins at Flinders like some stupid person. then, we went to get Shirlene's present and because all the trams were headed to Flinders, we thought it would be faster to walk. and we WALKED ALL THE WAY FROM MELBOURNE CENTRAL TO LYGON!! i ended up sweating and smelly. felt it was awkward to wish Shirlene a happy birthday especially when i'm late and sweating. i did however wished her later. haha. after a wonderful lunch, we WALKED again...it was fun looking at christmas decorations and going to alleys with restaurants that i never knew of. then, both ashley and i WALKED, after meeting lynn and others, to sha's new apartment. we WALKED TO LYGON AGAIN!! not the whole part but got lar a long way. :) good exercise. need to lose weight before graduation dinner dance.

No 2 on the list is selling books

man, i never knew it was so hard to sell books. and people can really be a prick. went around 1pm to school. first round, only got to sell my chemistry books. it's almost like all these people don't want second hand books. complained and complained to mel and nicole. then, they said to go one more time and they'll help me. haha. sold almost all my books then. except for bio and esl books. i think no one wants to take bio. -_-!! still stuck with it. not to mention, the prices here are horrible but i gladly managed to sell most of my books for 2/3 the original price. they're brand new too. my check points were a sham. had to sell for $10-15. guess i'm still luckier than some.

No 3 is going out with my ESL gang

Most of us were still here. There were six of us. dunno what happened to Frankie, Bethany and Sindy. Jun went back to Malaysia. Sandy was busy packing cos she was gonna go home the next day. I was at the boarding house and went with Mun Yee and Elisa. We were like 2 hours late. haha. went to eat at St Kilda at this burger shop. the burger was delicious. but the only stupid thing was when i had to pt down the order, i put it under my name, grace but the guy thought my name was chris -_-!! so when my burger was ready, they were calling "chris! chris!" i assumed it was me cos they have been calling for a while but i didn't wanna go incase it wasn't me. ish. after a long while then i went up cos they were still calling. yup, and truly it was me.

then we enjoyed ourselves at the beach. yaya was walking tip-toed cos she didn't want sand in her shoes. quite funny. and then, after nicole and yaya left, joyce wanted to lie down on the sheet too but she had to free herself from the sandcastle she built around herself. but sand managed to get into her jeans and she was trying to take them out. so funny. haha.

more stuff to come. wait for the photos. post them later. need to eat now. till next time, god bless.

the last days of school

sorry for not updating for so long. i don't people read this anyway. oh well, i shall just entertain myself :P. exams are over and things have been great. i love staying at home and doing whatever i feel like. the weather's not good these days. so can't go out. so many things to do. but anyway, this post is to update on valedictory and the last week of school. i do miss blogging somehow. a place to write whatever. and it's been a month since. oh, almost forgot. my jungle of words has turned five months!! congratulations *with confetti flying all over my face* XD

Valedictory 06:
The preparation for the night was kinda ok. i wasn't as frustrated as i was during the formal. cos i wore really simple. thank goodness. just a simple top, necklace and pants. let down my hair. and i wanted no makeup. so, i practically had plenty of time. some of us stayed back after school to get ready in sha's room at the boarding house. while they bathed, put cream and all those stuff, i was wondering around in the boarding house. it was really fun to watch all the boarders running around and asking one another which top/skirt/dress would be nice. and then, the accessories were all brought out. it's so fun to get ready with so many people.

i also visited elisa's room. so cool. on her wall were like a collage of postcards as well as metcards. haha. you'd think that she's throw the rest of her tickets away but she still has a whole stack of them. she collects them. haha.

and i went to change right and guess what? after so long, they still not done. i went changed and came out. they kept persuading me to put some makeup. i was like "ok fine. just eyeliner" so i took the eyeliner and tried to draw it myself. i drew what i thought was thick enough and they said "no, can't see". i drew darker. again "no. still can't see". then lynn draw for me. then, they said "good". -__-!! shows how much i know about all these. with a last bit of blusher, all of head down to the wyselaskie hall. oh, and vicky did most of their hair. haha. i told her "wah, do you feel like doing buns today? you seem to be doing them on everyone. (in different style la of cos)" she replied "shhhh, don't tell them but i only know how to do buns"

when we arrived, it was ok ler. like not so pretty but good enough. i took a lot of pictures with people. friends, teachers, and more friends. the food was great but not enough for everyone in my opinion. like when i went back for seconds, almost everything was gone. aihs, what can i expect from the school? they so kiamsap and i even paid $20 for this night. but the highlight of the night was the song sung by tanya after the presentations. "Stand up for love" by destiny's child. when she was singing it, the whole hall was like silent. i almost felt like crying actually but i was too busy recording her singing with my camera. and after dessert, most of us went out to take group pics. well, they did take some group pics without me. insulted and left out? yea, kinda. but i don't mind. i'm not a poser anyway. i'll just wreck the picture. yup, so that's valedictory for me.

The Last Days at school:
This will be short and sweet. one word: PARTY!! of course, as it came closer, things were kinda upsetting. but hey, there were a lot of parties and food. esl class had to have a party of cos. the food was delicious and we, well mostly joyce, had a lot of fun with the water gun. had chemistry quiz. my group isn't always fast enough. i personally suspected that our buzzer wasn't working. i was sure pressed that thing so many times. i knew so many but because of that stupid buzzer, we didn't get many points. haha. nicole, melody and mun yee were like screaming all the way cos they had so many points. what do we expect? nicole did get the academic excellence award for chemistry.

i did feel sad sitting in the hall when we had our presentations in the hall. i felt happy at first. i mean, seriously, i'm finally finishing!! yes!! i still remember tell myself in the beginning of the year that i will finish the year strong. i guess, i got distracted many times in between. but i do hope i get good marks. during the presentation, lorraine missed her turn because mrs elvins was reading out the names too fast. poor girl. she was like standing on the steps, lost and hesistating. fortunately, they remembered her and she went up to collect her testimonial and the bible. yup, that's what all of us got. the testimonial was a load of crap. a one-page in which most of the space was filled with my subjects and my co-curriculum activities. the paragraph about me was like small. what's the point of a testimonial if it's not gonna write much about me? i mean, if i wanted to show the uni the things i did in school, i might as well show them certificates and badges.

but i took a lot of pictures too. got the mothers to pose as well. had fun overall. all i can say is i will miss all my friends in plc. must keep in touch ok!! dang, i feel sad at this moment. i guess it's cos my life's gonna change again. you guys will be close to my heart!! love you. till next time, god bless.
