Finals Time!

I started feeling nerves about tonight's game at the train station this morning .. eep, finals time!

and I'm having such a bad mondayitis morning! I slept in (apparently my dad woke me up, but I don't remember that part :p), I was up a bit too late last night :o/ My mother is frustrating me, as I have to sew her a top by this Saturday (she told the dressmaker she had a top at home which she'll bring to this week's fitting .. except that was a lie, as I'm still to make that top!), and I had to recut the material I'd already cut .. I had enough material, but with the lining, the remaining material wasn't shaped properly to cut out the pattern properly - so am going to have to stitch 2 pieces together when it should just be 1 uncut piece :p whoops :p

I made a top for myself on the weekend though (priorities are all wrong :p) whilst watching Pride and Prejudice :p hehe i've been missing it on Sunday nights, but thankfully we have the dvd :o) I think after our discussion about it at frisbee last week, I really felt an itching to watch it :p (I still don't get how Kiri managed to get Josh to watch it - and Josh loved it :p aaah questionable ;p)

Anyhoos, run down of the past few days:

Thursday
Went to Liggy and Aez ... We had some money left over at the end for dessert (it was either dessert money, or too huge a tip), so we decided to get ice cream from maccas .. but I didn't have time, as it was getting late :o/ tres disappointment! hmm the service at Lowenbrau was pretty dodgy :p At one stage, this waiter came out with 2 plates of food and he gave one to Aez, and the other, he couldnt' work out who it belonged to .. We asked what it was and he didn't know, so he's like "hang on a sec", and went back to the kitchen to find out .. then he came back and told us the name in German, and we're like "and that is ... ???" .. And with Aez's food, he had been tapping it with his fork (it was crispy skinned pork => pork belly), and then the waiter came back and took that and the unknown dish away, saying it was not our order ... and I think he gave Aez's tapped pork to another table :p Ah, that poor table :p Good thing Aez hadn't started eating or hadn't spat on the food :p

Friday
Had a grad function during the day .. was good cos we got free morning tea, lunch and nibblies (v unhealthy fried/oily food :p), and I got a sleep in (only had to be there after 10 :p) .. We played basketball too, with some guy from the Kings teaching us stuff .. but it wasn't shoot hoops basketball, rather just doing drills which was really hard seeing as we were not dressed properly and there wasn't really the space for it :p

We also did this one exercise where you have to prioritise 12 items which you have, if you're stranded in some blizzard with a crashed helicopter :p hehe I was soo carp at it, my number 1 item was a rechargeable flashlight, which when thinking about it, prolly wouldn't help much when you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere .. cos the battery would die, and it doesn't offer heat or water :p hehe so note to ppl, don't ever get stranded anywhere with me if you wish to survive :p

Friday night, went to Ginger and Spice in Neutral Bay with Phil, Matt, Kaushik, JY, Hung and Alan .. The restaurant is Singapore/Malaysian food, and just opened up recently (so their opening special is 10% off the bill) -> Phil's cousins own/run the place .. It's pretty good (though i'm not an expert on Malaysian/Singapore food :p), nice setting and the service really good --> *Ends plug* :p

Ah, the car trip home was great too :p hehe not :p Poor Mr Well* ... Kaushik gave all of us (minus Phil) a lift to various places on Friday night after dinner .. he has a 3 door civic, which barely fits 5 ppl, let alone 6! :p I ended up cramped in the backseat with Mr Well, Alan and Matt, and ended up having to sit on both Mr Well and Alan's laps .. poor Mr Well was limping afterwards, his leg was positioned in a way it's never been positioned before :p Ah man, I really know how to annoy him :p

The other day, Allan L and I asked him if I foul during basketball and he said "no, but she's really annoying" :p Bah, it's cos I always shadow him and he hates that :p

Friday night was fun though, good company, lots of laughs :p

Saturday
First time back at the gym in aaaages! Haven't been in 2 weeks, and it felt good going again (back to my fave class :o) ... Spent Saturday pretty much sewing and cooking - yay :p

Sunday
Played squash and badminton .. Never played badminton before, but it was actually quite fun - didn't play a proper game, but it was fun just have to have a hit .. it's actually quite hard and requires a fair amount of energy :p

I played awful at squash y'day (game was soo off, esp after playing badminton where hitting the ball seemed so heavy and wrong :p) ... I also injured myself with my incompetence :p Banged my knee with my racquet, and now it's bruised and hurt last night when I bent it :p hmm the thing is, when I bruise my knee at frisbee with a layout, I don't mind - I guess cos it's an achievement ... But when I bruise myself cos i'm an idiot, well yeah .. it doesn't feel that good :p and here I was warning Amanda and Ian not to injure themselves before tonight :p

Today
Yay, big lunch! goodbye to the building lunch today, ppl are bringing in lotsa food .. it costs $8 but it goes to youth on the streets .. hmm mustn't eat too much, this diet's gone out the window these past few days :p

hmm I can see today being a bad day though - based on breakfast .. my muffin popped out of the toaster and landed on the floor :p dang! :p
