Holidayz

Being in Melbourne is so much better than the Gold Coast, and I dread going back. Holidays have been good so far, hanging out with friends and our Cairns trip.

- The day after going home, the friends and I got together for dinner and karoke as a post exam catch up. It was awesome seeing them again, it had been over two months! We spent about 2 hours procrastinating at city library in the children's section, trying to put together Nay's canvas board. Mon wanted to something to fill the space, so I looked for an easy drawing instruction online and found this http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Simple-Dog%27s-Face, her attempt sort of looked like the drawing, maybe it needed some coloring.
Dinner was at The Pub at Crown, it was pretty nice for a "pub". Mon and I shared fish and chips and a chicken burger, the food was pretty good but a little overpriced.
We went to karoke afterwards which was so fun! Normally I'm not a fan of karoke places because it's quite/very asian  but it's heaps better going with close friends. Mon and I got really excited to discover that they had The Great Escape and Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls, there were a couple of other band songs which was good, normally the song choice isn't that appealing, way too mainstream. I sang the Hoedown Throwdown, and it's been a while since I've heard that song, and am tempted to learn the dance again.
Highlights of the night included N, P, S and A sang in a curry accent, hilarious!
We all got home pretty late, S, M and Sh had missed their last train but luckily P still had her car.

-Nay's 21st was on Sunday at this cool bar called The Penny Black. I walked into the bar, feeling very intimidated, there was a full orchestra band at the front section, that was random. The back section was this sort of outdoor environment with tarp coverings, it looked cool but it was quite loud with the music playing in the background. We had chips and pizzas for food and I had lemon lime and bitters as a drink. I'm totally into that drink, I used to dislike it because I remember it tasting super bitter. Mon and I decided to take paparazzi photos the whole night. It was really fun, although i somehow feel awkward and uncool in these sort of bar/club type settings, like I sort of don't belong. Nonetheless, it was good being around friends as always. There was this slightly creepy guy who was dancing and asked P to take a photo of him because she was holding M's camera. Then he took a photo with M, it was weird but he was obviously a little drunk.
Instead of a cake, Nays had made rumballs which was so delicious! I helped myself to more than a few.  Overall a good night, I dropped Mon at Flinders station, oh city driving terrifies me but i got through it, as long as i can avoid doing a hook turn I'm good.

- On Monday, I went to Mon's house because i'm always there. We wanted a little surprise thing for Yen because we didn't get a chance to celebrate her birthday. For lunch, we had nandos chips and a pizza and my sushi, it was the quickest we've decided what food to eat. It was so good to see Yen again, its weird/sucky going from seeing her pretty much every day to once in a couple of months. Susan and Ayontika were there as well. We made her a "cake" and gave her the majority of her present. Yen and I decided to sleep over spontaneously, which was fun! It took us over an hour to decide on a movie to watch, Journey 2. It was an okay movie, enjoyable and funny. The Rock's nipple placement was really weird and distracting through out the whole movie. Oh man, it was awkward watching Josh and Vanessa kiss. We played around with Yen's photo booth which is so fun, I did this thing with the one of the video effects which made us laugh so much, it hurt. And we kept watchin The Magic Mike trailer a couple of times, and now we really want to watch the movie.
For some reason, I have been getting really sleepy a lot earlier and cannot keep myself awake. I think it might be something to do with my wacko sleeping hours in swotvac. I left early the next morning because I had some errands to run with my mum.

On tuesday night, I started packing for the Cairns trip which I was so excited for, but a little anxious because it involved being around a lot of water and I cannot swim. I'm not a fan of packing but this time I managed to not over pack, even with my baggage I thought I brought a lot, until the next day and saw my friends'.

I will do a separate post on my Cairns trip later.

Love Squealer.
