1st August has come and gone...
2 long days in a row.
Woke up early on Friday morning because we had orchestra and it was really not worth it. Hardly played anything and the songs we played had crappy parts in it. Anyway, it hadn't really hit us that the dinner dance was that day. Not until lunch time anyway. Was really hyper and excited about it and i don't think anyone could concentrate in that last hour of school. And then the bell rang - finally!!
Was really excited about getting ready and everything. Managed to get ready just in time, after some drama with the make up and hair. But everything turned out good, thanks for helping with my hair and make up che!
Went to pick Shaun up and headed to Tina's house. Waited for people to arrive [some ppl were late... as usual], took some pictures and then went off to Thompkins on Swan. The place looks really shitty from the outside, especially in the day, but it wasn't too bad on the inside. Had to introduce our partners to teachers and then to Mrs. Pitos. Gawd, can that woman be any more fake?! I really don't think she's a good principal. She just really irritates me. The food tasted alot like aeroplane food and i think the best part of my meal was the hard boiled egg and olives i took from the "salad bowl". Time passed really quickly and by the time we finished eating, it was already 9.30pm! Decided that we should take some pictures before dancing. Hope the pictures turn out okae. The music was alrite on the whole, except i really thought they should've gotten a better dj. And i really wished that he would play some good songs that we could at least dance to. That is what we were meant to be doing anyway. Heaps of weird, country hick-ish songs. ugh. But it was quite fun on the whole. Our partners got along quite well and some of them danced!! lol. i.e. Adrian. He was quite enthusiastic about the whole idea of dancing and that was good, but watching him dance was quite an interesting experience. *cough* *cough* Shaun on the other hand, refused to dance. The closest thing he did to dancing was swaying to the music - what a dancing queen. Took more pictures and before we knew it, it was 11.30pm - time to go home.
Hung around for a while and took some pictures outside, although it was freeezing.
Got dropped off at Tina's house after that and we actually planned to stay up all nite, with the help of lots of caffeine and sugar of course. But knowing us, we didn't manage to do all the things we planned:
it wasn't even halfway through 'the ring' when we all fell asleep. I thought me and grace set an alarm so that we could at least watch the sunrise, but we didn't hear any alarm in the end. Woke up at like 8.37am and didn't go to chinese school. Just lay in bed and watched Rage. They played crappy music videos on Rage and Video hits this morning. -sigh- what ever happened to good music?! Had scrambled eggs, a small piece of some garlic-bread thing, a poppy and sesame seed cracker and some custard tart thing. O yes, and not forgetting some coffee. Felt a bit sick after all that. Then we decided to go the city! hehe. Surprisingly, we managed to meet our target of leaving the house at 11.45am. Took a bus there and on the 106, there was some guy sitting near us who was having his fix of drugs. It was kind of scary and i was really hoping that nothing would happen. Hmm. Poor guy, said a little prayer for him. Today's city trip was good. Bought that pretty skirt from Westco and this guy's shirt from Cotton On [it's chocolate. i love that colour.] All thanks to Tina. Thank you sooo much Tina!! I promise i'll pay you back in instalments. Saw a nice ring in Sparkles and so that's another item added to my wishlist!
All of us were so dead after the city trip. *yawn*
Hope you're still alive after work Grace! Tina's probably sleeping already or something.
Like i said, 2 looooong days.
