ack there's a draft blowing under my door >.< it's freezing! The high is 20 degrees! woohoo I think I can take my jackets out already :) yay! I want to use my trench coat and look like a member of the mafia. -amused- with sunglasses and all.. hee hee so amusing. daylight savings is over! wahaha which means I get one extra hour in the day, which means I have one extra hour to sleep every morning, which means I get one extra hour to study at night.. actually it still evens out in the end -.- but it's a psychological thing, especially the extra hour of sleep :)
Yesterday was a really fun day :) In the morning, kw, gina, june, ernest, eugene, kh, zp, jl, paul, cc, john and I met up at the brandon park bus stop to go to the glen! we were supposed to meet at 10, but ernest was still asleep at 10 and cc woke up at 9.55 or something. haha so entertaining. and jl said he wanted to buy a fridge and we were all thinking that he really wanted to die that day. it was really chaotic. we squeezed 12 people into 2 cars! all the girls plus eugene went into cc's car and then we went to the glen and when we got there, I almost fell out of the car because it was so cramped haha. then we had this frantic shopping round because the guys were hungry, so I was running around safeway throwing things into the shopping basket. -.- but grocery shopping is fun, I realised! especially when you're with friends. Then we went to this chinese restaurant for lunch. We all had to split up because there wasn't enough space to fit 12 people at one long table, so I sat with John, Chuay Choon and Paul. The idea was to split the guys up as much as possible so that they wouldn't spend too much. We ordered 30 dumplings o.0 this deep fried crispy duck (which was SO GOOD and potentially gave us kidney failure hee hee) and xiao long bao (which was not really xiao long bao.. at least not compared to the din tai fung one.) but it was a really good lunch and it was highly entertaining. we kept on spilling tea and stuff all over the table and we were talking about how at some restaurants, the staff spit into the food, so we were trying to be as nice to them as possible. hee hee.
ARGH the draft!!!!
after that one car of us went to coles. yes we went all the way to the glen to go to coles and safeway, when there's a coles at clayton town. wahaha. :) and it was freezing! when we were about to leave, we got a call from one of the guys in the other car to say that zp lost his keys. poor guy :( so we retraced our steps all the way to the glen before we we were told that he lost it sometime between lunch and going back so we were like like -.- haha but it was a nice car ride :)
when we got back to halls, I did some work and then jl, kw and I went to deakin hall to cook. I made chicken rice! which was initially quite disastrous because I didn't put enough water in AND we didn't have a rice pot, so we had to use eugene's pot, which ended up burning like mad at the bottom. but it was a good improvision! we bought a rotisserie chicken from coles, and jl made some stir fried veg, which he refused to put oyster sauce into, kw made bak kut teh. and we baked a brownie for ernest, whose birthday is today! smartly, none of us brought cutlery down, so some of the guys went to get some plastic cups and forks and spoons from the dining hall, and thus, we ate our dinner out of small plastic cups. it was really fun though. :) we were all sitting at the tables in deakin common room eating and laughing about lots of random stuff. the guys, as usual, were talking about army and they started talking about the ghost stories and stuff, which didn't scare me as much as I thought it would, surprisingly. :)
cleaning up was horrible though. I was scrubbing the pot we borrowed from eugene to remove all the burnt rice and bargh. but I got it clean in the end! wahaha with the help of ernest and jl. :D then we played table tennis. zp and myself teamed up against kw and ernest, and we won hee :) but it's because zp is a very good player. hee.
so yes, here I am on a sunday morning.. ah dammit i need to go get laundry. will stop here for now!! -hugs- God bless~
