..I started writing this blog entry, got quite a bit into it, and decided to start over. lol. So let's try again!

On thursday morning I woke up at 4am so I could get i the last bit of cramming for my final exam. Argh that was painful. I only got about 1 and a half hours sleep, and considering I was going to be out the entire night I knew I was going to look and feel like death. lol. Anywho, I hopped on the train and headed to my uni. When I got onto the elevator to get to my exam room I bumped into ben, a guy in my prac class. Once we got off we saw kelly too, then we were all freaking out about how much we don't know about the exam and how ridiculous the content of the unit is. loll. After a bit we head into the exam room.

THANK JEBUS FOR READING TIME! Seriously, if it didn't exist I'd probably be even more screwed than I already was. I didn't know the answers to anything in the second half of the exam. =D So reading time gave me a chance to think of all the bull I was going to make up. hahaha. It was a two hour exam and once I had gotten to the 1.5 hours mark I had some serious munchies, and my stomach wasn't very quiet in telling me so. So, I just quickly finished off my answer and left the exam. Nice way to finish off your exams, eh? =P

I was going to meet up with Tan afterwards to go get his hair cut and all that jazz before the black party tonight. His exam finished at 12:40 so I had awhile to wait. I just sat in Victoria Park and ate while being accompanied by a seagull. I took a picture of the view to show how pretty it was and also to demonstrate the extent to which UTS impedes on the skyline. lmao, it was taken on my 0.3mp phone camera, so sorry for the quality -_-

Luckily he finished early though, so at around 12 I headed to the UTS tower and met up with him. Okay, I thought I looked bad, he looked even worse. LOL. He'd gotten more sleep than I had as well. But yeah, we set off and went to this funky japanese hair place near market city. That place is lush. They give you water, and refills!! Without you even asking as well. I was like, stunned. Plus, they have lucky bamboo on their counter, so bonus points to them. =P Anyway, we just parked there for awhile and chatted while he was getting his hair done, left when his hair was all styled and stuff, then headed to market city to quickly hunt for a belt for him.

It was all a very fast process. Headed pretty much straight to yd. he found the reversible belt he wanted and so we went to the counter. Sigh. One of the guys working there needs to learn some customer service skills. Or some manners at least. Initially there was this whole kerfuffle about whether the belt was the right size or not [which it wasn't, facepalm at tan. lol], and once he got the right size...

Worker dude: That'd help to keep your pants up eh?
Tan: ahhaha yeah
Worker dude: *looks at me* most of the time anyway..

Me: *ignores him and tries to radiate hate vibes*

WHAT AN ASS!!!! Inappropriate much?! I wanted to punch him in the face. Actually, I still do. If you go to market city yd please punch all the workers there, compliments of duong. Thanks.

Anyway, afterwards we went and caught the train since it was 2:30 and we still needed to get home and change so that we could get back to the city by 5.

***

I'm dressed, packed, and off to get the train. When I get off at central I have to pretty much walk the length of the platform to get out of the eddy ave exit. bzzzz bzzzzz. I get a phone call as I'm walking down the stairs. Since I'm wearing high heels and I'm uncoordinated enough as it is, I wait to get to the bottom before I check who it is.

It's Steven. Yes, my ex, for all of you playing at home. Anyway...

Me: ....hello?
Him: ..are you wearing black?
Me:...yes...? *looks around*
Him: HAHAHAA where are you going?
Me: To a party
Him: ...a party or a cruise?
Me:.....a cruise...

Then he hangs up. And I'm like, omg...I bet he's going to the cruise. So I msg and ask, and what do you know. He is. Anyway, I wait outside central for gurpie and when she arrives we head off for wagaya for dinner. =]

That place is seriously nice. It all looks very high class and you order off a touch screen and stuff. It's nuts. For awhile it was just me, gurpie, tan and john and we ordered like 10 things. loll. Then liz, y, and amy came, then damian. The food was pretty nice. Conversation was a bit disjointed though..but pleasant nevertheless. Towards the end liz and amy left and the rest of us paid the bill. lol.

*Mindblank* This is probably why you shouldn't leave it too long after an actual event to blog...

Oh that's right. We headed to the dock. On the way we saw this massive lit up ferris wheel. Gurpie wanted to go on it, and so did damian [hahahahah!], but the rest of us were like...ergh.....coz it was like..10 bucks. and..we're cheap. lol. So we didn't.


It was pretty nuts when we got to the dock though. there were loads of people already waiting. We had VIP tickets or whatever though, so we got in before a lot of the people. Gurpie and I wandered off onto the top deck, and when we came down to find the fricken cloak room [which was pretty much a cloak corner rather than a room..] it was pretty packed. Tan was already waiting so I gave my bag to him to give in with his. Unfortunately, the douche that was working there was all 'only one bag per person'. which is total bull shiz coz when i had to go back and wait, other people were giving in two and stuff. GRRRRRRR. Seriously, gurpie and I were waiting there for like 45 minutes or something. She seemed pretty pissed off. I told her to go and dance or whatever though and that I'd call her, but she stayed anyway. Ah well.

The cruise was reaaallllly fun. We danced, and I obliterated my feet. What more could you ask for!! lol. I bumped into steven a couple times too and there was some brief chatting and he danced with us for a couple minutes or something.






At one point Damian felt pretty sick too, but he attributed it to sea sickness rather than being drunk considering he only had one beer. loll. Turns out though, that it was actually the food. John had the food as well and with about half an hour left on the cruise he disappeared to the top deck. When we found him he was leaning over the side and was pale, teary and...well. He'd probably have fit right in with the zombies in MJ's 'thriller' hahah. We were pretty damn worried about him. I think he was dehydrated and sick from the food so yeah. luckily the bar has free water. When I asked if I could have water the dude was like 'yeaahh, but it's 5 bucks' and I'm like..'you're kidding!' and he's all '...i am actually, hahahah!'. I was pretty confused at first. LOL. but yeah. we got there in the end. =P

We spent the rest of the cruise looking after john and just sitting there talking. I didn't really mind that actually. It was really quite nice and refreshing compared to the stuffyness of the dance floor. Once we docked and got kicked off the boat we went to find somewhere to sit for awhile so that john was able to actually recover properly before we headed to the afterparty. I got a chance to change my shoes too. Thank jebus I brought flats along. I'm telling you, the gel party feet thingies do NOTHING! Well, they do help a bit, but thing is, they made the top of my toes rub on the tops of my shoes instead. fail. lol. lucky I had a bandaid with me too.

Everyone except me and gurpie sitting on the steps waiting for john to recover. You can tell he's a bit out of it in this photo. lol

Anyway, once all was well and good we walked past Docks which was where the afterparty was. It looked pretty dead though..so we just decided to go to maccas instead. =P It was past midnight by then so they were about to close but we luckily hopped in the line before they started rejecting people. lol. Happy meals ftw! Afterwards we went back to docks and just went in and hung out for awhile. Damian ran into some other friends of his and we ended up following them for awhile while we decided what to do next. We ended up going to the maccas on george st while we decided since it was a 24hr maccas and since it was freezing outside. lol. Tan was pretty keen to go home due to lack of sleep and all, so he left with damian. Oh, liz, amy and y had left before we went to maccas, so by then it was only john, gurpie and me.

We decided to go and karaoke in china town. We were there for an hour just singing ridiculous songs like '10 little indians'. loll. They closed at 4am, and we were out of time at about 3:40. But we just sat in there talking until 4 anyway. lmao. Afterwards we were lucky enough to come across this little 24hr bakery/cafe on george st. we camped out beside the heater there and whittled away the hours until 6am where we could go and get some maccas breakfast. =P It was pretty fun, we prank called the guys who had left early and were harassing them for leaving early and not even being asleep yet at 5 in the morning. lmao. John did the whole breathing heavily into the phone thing. it was lols. =P We also saw people wandering around the city with bedsheets too. and...one guy with a milk crate on his head. LOL.

When it was 6, we headed to maccas and got hotcakes. They are seriously delicious. and..over 50% of your daily sugar intake. lmao. It was worth it!!! We ended up heading home at about 8 or so. John came on the train with us too. Got home, gurpie stayed and chatted for awhile, my sister came in and let us know Michael Jackson had passed much to our disbelief, then gurpie got picked up by her brother and I dropped on my bed and slept til 4 in the afternoon. lmao.

....This was like the longest post I've ever written. lol. and I even have more!! I'll save that for tomorrow though, so you have the opportunity to digest this entry before I bombard you with more text. lol.

Later mash potaters,

xx
