Carmie

Tired as right now, but yeah i haven't posted here in ages so i figured i might as well make some sorta post. Yeah you'll know the reason why the title is what it is later on. But well as you can see with my time, i haven't really done that much at all.

I won't bothered to go on with what happened on Tuesday and Wednesday, since there wasn't really anything worth posting about. Just that i've been trying to deal with everyone's schedules after the exams and stuff so yeah we can actually organise something on a day that everyone can make, so most of my time was trying to figure that out and all, but yeah wasted time in the night chatting to many people and stuff so yeah wasn't that good. I did do alot of discussion about our problems in the night but yeah wasting time = not good. But that's the two days anyway.

Thursday

It was the day that all the uni people could get together and just bum as we usually do. But yeah it was a little different though. Ben Lai, Ben Ha, Alan, Geoff, Thanda and Dennis turned up, which was pretty dismal since our group is about 10 people. I mean like Thanda was the only chic who turned up, and that's not cool. Ado had a relo over so yeah couldn't really come, Kim had some uni stuff to sort out, i think, so yeah she couldn't turn up and Qi qi fell sick and obviously couldn't turn up.

When all of us arrived, it was a little late. The planned meeting time was like 12, and when everyone showed it was like 12:45. But yeah we went to Mamma's Kitchen and had stuff there. I love cheap food. So after lunch we were trying to figure out what movie we wanted to watch, but yeah the movies at Reading weren't that good or at the wrong times for people, so in the end we decided to walk over to Town Hall and try and find a movie there. On the way, bumped into Opal and yeah he tagged along with us and stuff. All of us were still trying to figure out what we were going to watch and stuff, but since Opal was there, i just talked to him and let the rest figure it out. Ben Lai really wanted to watch A Shark's Tale so yeah convinced people that they should watch it. Only problem was that it started at like 5, so yeah you'll see what happened later on with that.

Walked from there over to QVB to do shopping, but then we stopped outside Y.D and then there was a talk about what was going on and who wanted to do what. On the way to Town Hall, there was already the idea that we let some people do shopping and some of us just go bum and do other stuff. I was part of that idea i must admit, even though it's not good since it's not a group thing, not like a whole group thing. But yeah that's what was going on outside Y.D and then everyone was made to make a choice on what people wanted to do. So yeah I said that i wanted to go with the guys who were going elsewhere apart from shopping because i wanted to, and that Opal had to go that way anyway since he had to go home.

So the 2 Bens, Dennis, Opal and I walked back over to town hall and Geoff, Thanda and Alan went shopping in QVB. What i don't get is that if you have the choice between going elsewhere or going shopping, why would you pick shopping unless you had nothing else to do? With Alan i can understand, since he seems like the hermit type and the non-typical asian guy who doesn't really like pc or pool and stuff. But Geoff on the other hand, likes pc but not pool all that much. But still shopping over other stuff? I mean i'm willing to go shopping with people all because there's nothing else to do. I can't think of anything else to do with a small or large group of people in the day, so yeah shopping is the only way. If anyone can tell me what to do, PLEASE TELL ME.

But yeah the 4 of us remaining, since when we arrived at town hall Opal had to go home, just played pool and pc until the time, which was 4:45. But thanks to them, they didn't inform us that they'd gone home early, so yeah it was left with us guys to watch it. I had to go though, since parents wanted me home for dinner so went home and didn't watch it.

Friday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARMIE!!! (Now you know the reason for the title)

The day started off alright, nothing special, but yeah met up with Monica and we just bummed for ages. Well she had to go to the bookshop in the Victoria Galleries, which is opposite QVB. I can't remember the name, but yeah it's the place with all those asian comics and stuff like that. So she bought some stuff and then we went over to Pitt Street Mall for lunch.

Talked about so much stuff as well that i can't even remember it all. Had pretzels as usual, even thought i did forget that there's 2 pretzel worlds at Pitt Street Mall. After that went over to Market City and just bummed for a while, then yeah she had to leave and all. But after that i met up with Sisi and talked with her for a while, then met with Wendy and went shopping. I needed to go because i needed to think of ideas for presents. It's hard when the people you're buying stuff for already have everything they like. Yes you know who you are now. I'll think of something. I needed to start early so that i have time, and yeah i went with them so i could get ideas and all.

Well Wendy knows a friend who works at Myer in town hall so yeah she called him up just to see if he could get us any discounts. We met up with her friend anyway, Tom, and yeah went around Myer for a bit. There's a 20% off student stuff, like Kenji and simpler kinda uni clothing until i think monday or today, can't remember which. But yeah just show your student card and they'll give you 20% off. So yeah went around Myer and then a few random stores and Portmans as well. But yeah still can't think of anything, but yeah something will come up i guess.

Went to church after that, even though Tom and I did try and lose them, but yeah they're not that lost. Don't worry that was just a test run, that's somewhere they're more familiar with. We'll just wait till i take them east/north east/north west. It'll be more of a challenge that way. Church was good and yeah, it's just church i guess. It's something that i like i guess.

Saturday

Nothing was done in the morning apart from calling Janice and talking for ages. But yeah i relaxed in the morning and then went over to Carmie's 21st in the night. Even though there were heaps of calls made to me, it was still pretty damn good.

There were heaps of people that turned up and they split into 3 main groups - her church people, her Fort Street friends and her Optom friends. Obviously i only knew her church friends and stuff, but yeah i've mentioned some of them before, but yeah i'll mention more now. So from what i remember, the people who turned up from church included Ko, Ernest, Vivian, Alex Fung, Cherie, Sam Yip, Ed Pang, Gavin, Tiff, Liz Woo, Tim Woo, Cameron, Aaron, Amy (Aaron's fiance), Dan Ng (not from Syd High), Dan Yeung, Iris, Janice (a different Janice), Carol (liaison officer for AYBC USYD), Jackie, Karen, Nate, Paul Semple, Chris (not my bro Chris) and Wesley. That's what i remember anyway. There's more and i know i've missed a bit of people.

But yeah there was a "who-dun-it" thing going on as well and people were trying to guess and stuff like that. There were 12 suspect characters and 2 people played the same character so that made 24 suspects. I was a suspect and there was a stage where I was just minding my own business since i wasn't really interesting in solving it since it was too complicated and there's too many red herrings, or for those who don't know what that is, too many options and false paths, and then there was this semi-circle of chics that formed around me and just kept asking me questions that i didn't have answers to. They just kept at it and threw a barrage at me and i was like "What's going on?" So yeah that was pretty bad.

But yeah all in all, the party was great and i had a pretty fun time, even though it was tiring. Sorry about the long post argh.

Nothing much coming up, but yeah just church and figuring out stuff i guess.
