got up early at 8:30am. reached Grattan House (val and sal's place) at 9:45am. thought i was late but turned out i was early. in fact, i was the first to arrive. (:
sally was still half-awake-half-asleep when i entered her room to use her nail polish remover. she got up as soon as i told her it's very late.
ko Mario came shortly after, with his fried resoles. (: he said he woke up at 5:30am to cook it. so touched.
he did most of the fried rice while the rest of us (plus Anthony, Valerie, Sally, Tina) helped prepare the sushi. it was such an enjoyment filling up the sushi with crabmeat or tuna and cucumber and rolling it up. but it was also tiring. we ate up all the sushi that were not good-looking. at the end of the day, we were so sick of sushi!!! lol.
mum missed-call me five times. i really missed her a lot.
ko Iwan came with ko Robert and Samuel. Sally, me, and the three of them sat into his car while the rest took ko Mario's car. the ride was rather silent. i guess we were just too tired. (:
we reached earlier than the others at Flagstaff Garden. the wind was blowing so strongly and it seeped through my elbow-length jacket. brr... Sally and I were left to look after the sushi and table, while the guys drove away to buy drinks. not long after, ci Lina and Nadia came. Nadia gave me her sushi. it's tempura. really really nice. (: because it's so cold, Sally and i decided to go back to our home to take thicker jacket. we walked from the garden until Swanston st. halfway, Sal saw a taxi crashing onto a car. there wasn't any sound or noise. weird. then we saw the drivers blaming one another for what happened.
went to Grattan house first to take the jacket. then waited for 10 minutes for Sally to recharge her phone. i read her Cosmopolitan magazine while she rested on the bed. i didn't know how sexually-informative that magazine is. but i think we are too young to be reading that. unsuitable i would say. some of the stories or articles are irrelevant to the life we are living in in our 19 years of age.
then we hurried to my house to get the tape that Val said she needed. was shocked to find Eric in the house!
when we reached the garden, it was 4pm alr. everyone was asking how come we arrived so late. i just didn't realise that time flies by so quickly.
the resoles was all gone when we arrived (anyway we ate one each already at grattan house). only the sushi and fried rice were left. so i just ate those. then later someone spilled light soya souce on my feet by accident. then ci Lina was so kind to pass me some wet tissue and dry tissue paper to clean my feet. i felt so attended for. (: was blessed.
i didn't talk to all the new comers. just some. Val's English course friend and his friend, Albert and Olive. they were really nice and friendly so it ain't that hard. (:
later everyone was gathered together and split into two groups to play games. yay! we played James Bond 007, pass the thing on and Trinity drama story. everyone in our group had a good laugh! they were so creative! (: what a fun group i was in! it is indeed a successful picnic today!
i went back with Sally, Paulina and her two friends to the city. i was supposed to meet FuiHan and Kimberly at Arrow at 6:30pm but Sally asked me to accompany her to Melbourne Central to shop for Byron and Tina's b'day (tomorrow) presents. unfortunately, all the shops were closed. so we went to QV. turned out it's also closed so we went to Myers. we saw lots of very nice present to give but they're all over the budget line. ): so we didn't get anything for them yet cause the shop was closing and we weren't sure of what to get for them. too many things, too little money.
met FuiHan and Kimberly at YAMATO resto. it's in the same alley as Daichin Sichuan resto. Kimberly brought a friend named Felicia along. i didn't expect her to be there. but anyway she's fun and easy going. so the dinner today was awesome! we talked a lot and got to know each other better! (: plus the salmon steak that i ordered was good too. it was double fun! (:
after the meal, we went to Ten Rei's Green Tea house to eat. again. FuiHan said when she's happy, she will eat. i had bubble tea and crushed ice (ice kacang lookalike- share with FuiHan) with toppings of our choice. so damn full la!!!
after that, we went to Myers to see the Christmas display there. i actually saw it before but told Kimberly to look at it since she's going back tomorrow. turned out that there was a long queue for it and we had to queue for 20 minutes? but we managed to see it through til the end. there were also fire brigades there. i wonder what they're doing there. many children took pictures with the firemen and women. (: so cute. Melbourne city felt so lively tonight.
the real fun only began after that. we took pictures along the tramline along bourke street. there's very little tram so we were assured that we will be safe. however, the danger wasn't on the tram but the Melbournian being high at night. they saw us taking pictures and having fun so they crashed into our pictures! this happened not only once, but 3 times!!! crazy wild dudes. they even shouted to us, 'Welcome to Melbourne!' so friendly but dangerous too. haha. don't know what to do. we like just giggled when they said that. then i suggested that we posed like the model photos in front of sportsgirl glassdoors. and we really did it! it was so so fun! (:
then we walked to State Library and FuiHan and i got really high and camwhored so so much! Felicia and Kimberly were also asked ("forced") to join even though they seemed tired already. but can say we had loads of fun today.
from a simple dinner, it became a girls' night out! (:
i really felt the joy in Melbourne tonight. it made me feel really lucky to be here. (:
can't wait to see what God has in store for me tomorrow.
plans for tomorrow:
1. church + Joy Kids
2. shop at chapel street with Elaine and Anzela + lunch + dinner (:
