oh it has been a fun filled week, with so many things happening and its nice to know that my squealing is still in proper function after much time on hiatus. well you guys know about gippsland (see last post) and furthermore i got to see my high school friend/s a couple to times this week, yes i'm a happy camper.
ok so onto the reason for this post, as you all know it was M's birthday on thursday and she had her birthday on saturday (i would of written a post in saturday but i wasn't physically able to and you will see why in a second).
So I was really looking forward to the party, mainly because i get to see the group again after weeks of not seeing everyone together. I got up early to go grocery shopping with mum because we usually go in the afternoon but obviously i couldn't. and then i got home a bit late, gulfed down my lunch while watching an educational show, i was only watching it because it was related to sensory physiology in which i am so behind at uni. and got a lift to the station. i was scared i was going to miss the train because i left the house late and needed to buy some lollies for Y. so i ran out of the car, and ran (by ran i mean walk fast) to the lolly store and looked lost for a bit because i was trying to find the lollies (i didn't have my glasses on). Luckily i found them, paid for them and ran to make the train. oh yes i did make the train although i didn't have time to validate my metcard but no biggie. i got off at moonee ponds because there was a jumper i had my eye on at an op shop but it was a little out my price range, so i had to wait till it was going on sale, and saturday was the day. so happy i found the jumper and no one else had bought it. i will show you my op shops buys for the past week in the next post.
so finally met up with Y in the city, dropped of our bags at state library and made our way to DFO, to see if we could find a formal dress. well we just went shopping in general and in addition also looked for formal dresses. Unfortunately we didn't find anything that we liked, and i just realized the formal is coming up very soon. i'm actually not really fussy about what kind of dress that i have, as long its is cheap. i don't like to spend a lot on a dress that i'm only going to wear once. i do have a spare dress if i'm desperate and do not have a dress to wear. i'm not sure if i want to wear it because i don't think it is formal enough.
we kinda missed our planned train so we caught the next one but it wasn't that long of a wait so it was ok. The train was pretty packed, but we got seats alright. ladida, we got to dandy and waited for the bus. and what would you know? as we were walking to the bus stop, N and Su were running up behind us, apparently they have been waiting for quite a bit of time. So that was good and we caught the bus together. Su had this amazing long wrapping paper, which i thought it would be a fun to press the bus button with. on the bus ride, N was putting some finishing touches on M's present. yeah had a fun time coming up with the message. So the time came to press the button and i tried and it failed, bummer i was so sure that it would work. so Y pressed the button for me.
And we walked to M's house, scared that we were going to fall in the lake, because the grass was sloshy and muddy. finally we got to M's house and said our hellos. everyone was upstairs, and Sh was straightening M's hair. it looked very pretty. And i whipped out my camera, as i do in these situations and started taking photos. after that we just hung out in the study area and talked waiting for the others to arrive. i love our conversations. we were talking about how Katy Perry crashed the MHS formal, and i was squealing and displaying my jealousy. Also we were frantically searching for some photo evidence on our trusty facebook, and after looking at the photos, it just made me feel more bitter. Why doesn't things happen to us??
When everyone came, we gathered and gave M her present, we bought a safe box with money inside to use for her Soundwave ticket, but i don't think we have given her the key yet. i'm not quite sure. (hope you like the present, M!) And by this i was really hungry, but luckily M announced to eat. there was so much food, and on the end of the table was a bowl of salad, which was the healthy thing that i requested. i was the only one who ate the salad. yeah there heaps of other stuff too: chips, spring rolls, balls thingys, potato rolls, pasties and some wrappy thing. it was all really yummy and are so much food and those things were only the entries because for the main we had butter chicken, which i am addicted to, it is the best thing ever. i think i love it so much because i'm so used to eating asian food. so i just kept eating and eating, which was weird because i've been cutting back on my portions in a futile attempt to slim down for the formal. i don't know where i got all the stomach space. V said we should eat quickly before our brain thinks we're full.
After the eating we all migrated to the theatre room to digest our food and take a break. then we were all called in for cake and singing happy birthday to M. so we did that, and it was very cool and birthday-ish. and M's family were feeding her small pieces of cake, and i think her aunty (correct me if i'm wrong) smeared some on her face, so there were some funny photo opportunities. so while waiting for the cake to be cut, some of us took the opportunity to take some photos using my trusty self timer, boy what would i do without self timer??? and then some left and we took some stair photos, which was awesome but the lighting wasn't that great. and then we had some cake, it was black forest one and very yummy, the cream especially was delicious. and then we moved to theatre room, where we put on some music. so basically we just sat and talked and listening to music, and singing along (rather badly) when it came to a HCR song. Sn and Sh did M's hair in french braids looked pretty awesome. and then we tried to get everyone to dance and finally we did. so we made a little night club in the theatre room, but unfortunately i didn't have any photos because N had took away my cameras. but the dancing so fun, even if i cannot dance. everyone was getting into it, and we had a lot of laughs. also as a bonus, we worked off all the food that we had eaten. we were pretty tired after all the dancing so we took a break and talked some more. after that we went back into the theater room and listened to more music, and me Y and M went on tumblr via Y's iphone, hehe we couldn't not check our tumblrs, boy we are really addicted. yeah i took some photos and went photo whoring because i love photos. then we had ice cream to wake us up because we were planning to pull an all nighter. (also did i mention it was a sleepover as well). ice cream was good, but i think it made us a bit more tired, so we all got ready for bed. we were all in our sleeping positions by 3.40am, but we didn't sleep yet. half of the group were talking and the other half (me, Y and M) were talking about tumblr and stuff and eventually we all drifted to sleep, i think i must of sleep around 4.30-5 ish and M and Y slept at 5.30am i think. yeah so we only had around 3/4 hours because some of us had to wake up at 8 to leave. but surprisingly i didn't feel so tired and my friends said you don't look tired at all, yeah people keep telling me that i never look tired even if i don't have enough sleep and am feeling really tired inside. so reluctantly we had to leave M's house so we could make our long way home. oh yeah Sh and N had some cake for breaky and i looked at them disapprovingly.
So that was basically my weekend, i studied a bit before, but it wasn't very productive, i shall try to do some later and actually be up to date.
And i forgot to add that i have quite a bit of photos of people wincing at my camera flash because it is unber bright.
Thanks M for the party, i will take away such good memories, mainly ones of us laughing. i laughed a lot yesterday.
Love Squealer.
p.s because i'm a freak, i acutually wrote out a plan for this post.
