Cause You Left All I Had On The Forest Floor

So I'm on my one week mid semester break right now. Classes start up again on Monday. I haven't been doing much to be honest and a lot has changed since my last post. For about a month, I was just really upset and out of focus cause it felt like the floor was pulled out from under me all of a sudden but these days, I've been feeling pretty good. I actually feel a lot more like i did last year. So yay!


I'll attempt to give you a run through of what's been happening but unfortunately, I stopped writing in my journal awhile back so I'll just have to try and remember! Well, all my mid semester exams have been dealt with and I now have a job. :D


Rigghhttoo. Anyways, on Monday I went down to the Gold Coast with Charlene, Tommy and Douglas for some arcade fun and laser tag. They were kind enough to make a trip out of dropping me off for Brigitte's birthday dinner. :D Brigitte is a friend of mine from Tshung Tsin who moved to Gold Coast in Form 4. Her birthday dinner was the first time i saw her in a loonnnngg time. I stayed overnight at Brigitte's after a night of pizza and drinking girly cocktails. The next day we took drives around Gold Coast.


Then it was Tommy's birthday on Thursday. He wanted to go skydiving and had booked a time earlier on in the week but due to weather conditions, it was cancelled. Sadnezzz. So we came home and went back to sleep. Tommy had a party at his place and then afterwards we went to Klub Kandy. It's an event that was going on at Family (a club) and it just so happened to be a halloween party. So we dressed up! Charlene and Tommy went as Stefan and Elena from Vampire Diaries and I went as a corpse bride. Douglas went to Tommy's party as a mixture of a transformer and a pirate and a knight and batman. *shrugs* go figure. :P Last minute costume decisions! It was all good fun.

This Time I'm Not Leaving Without You

I can't stop listening to You and I by Lady Gaga. :3 Mason Lockwood from Vampire Diaries is in the video. If you haven't seen it, you can watch it here.

Let's see. My last update was about Easter break before my finals. Since then I've:

1. turned nineteen
2. finished first semester
3. returned to KK
4. boxed up the contents of an entire apartment in two days
5. returned to Brisbane
6. hung out with Sam and Orson who visited from Sydney
7. had Harry Potter movie marathons before watching the final movie
8. started second semester
9. flown to Sydney to celebrate mom's birthday with her after the first week of class & made it back in time for my Monday morning class
10. completed my first two assessments this semester
11. finally been to Ekka

It would be accurate to say that Sam and Orson are Tommy and Charlene's best couple friends, who study in Sydney. They came to visit us for a week. During that time, we went to Movieworld twice, Seaworld once and Wet n Wild during the icy end of winter (not our brightest idea). We also went strawberry picking, wine tasting, glow worming, go-carting, had poker nights and Spit tournaments, in which we managed to rank ourselves, stayed over in Gold Coast and visited Sunshine Coast. Before Sorson arrived, Charlene and I drew up an itinerary of their visit and included meal choices and places of interest so we wouldn't waste any of their time. During those few nights, the guys would be playing Fifa while the girls would be taking naps cause we'd wake up so early in the morning to begin the activities on said itineraries. Either that or we'd start drinking and playing cards. All good fun. Then Sorson left and we thought we'd only be seeing them at the end of the year back in KK.

BUT THEN! (Gasp! Twist!)

After my first lecture this semester, we were told that mom would be in Sydney that coming weekend for some meetings and not in KK with Jamie to celebrate her birthday like we'd originally planned. So Char and I decided that we'd fly over to Sydney to hang out with mom after my last lecture of the week, which was on Wednesday. That night we reached Sydney, took a train from the airport and navigated our way through the city to find mom's hotel. The rest of the week, we'd spend our mornings and early afternoons with either Sam or Orson between their classes, roaming the city, eating at the fish market till we acquired a gag reflex to raw oysters, shopped a lot because everything in Sydney was on sale. :D Also, we'd stare at handsome sushi makers (well, it was really just the one and we established that while he was quite good looking, his ears stuck out and his body wasn't really proportional to his head ). Afterwards, mom would join us and we'd do a lot of exploring and shopping and eating. :D Eating is wonderful. :3 It was lovely seeing mom again so soon after KK.

We went to Ekka on Wednesday! By we, I mean Char, Tommy, Doug and I. And by Ekka, I'm talking about this agricultural fair in Brisbane every year. They have cows, goats, dogs, cows, llamas, cows, rollercoasters, cows, strawberry ice cream, cows, game stalls to win soft toys, cows, face painting, show bags, cow dung, cotton candy, bumper cars and horrible excuses of Corndogs. We spent quite a big playing games and riding rides and on the entrance fee. It was fun but I doubt we'd go again. :P I have no photos of Ekka cause I didn't know what to expect and I wanted to ride rides and not have to worry about my camera.

I'm quite lazy to talk about the rest. But I tell you what. I'll caption some of the photos from the PICTOBLOG below since they're out of order. Only some cause some are pretty self explanatory. Okay? (y)

So many dolphins! :3 they responded to us calling for them with our dolphin calls.

Yes. We sounded like idiots. BUT THEY CAME!!

Sea lion and seal show! :D

We literally ran past all the children and parents slowly making their way to the auditorium when we heard that the show had just started. 

Dolphin show. :3 They're so smart.

It'd be eerie if they didn't look so adorable and not sinister at all.

Manta rayyyy!

These are live penguins.

In one pet shop in Gold Coast, the owner lets people take the puppies home for a night so they're not alone in the shop. Such a cool concept! You get to get all the impulsive I-want-a-dog out of you for a night.

Sam insisted that there were hardly any photos of me. Grabbing cash before heading to the Casino.
