So here i am once again with no work, but thats ok cos well theres work the rest of the week! ;)
And also having been woken up at the unearthly time of 430am by i-dont-know-what certainly doesnt assist in having a great start to the week. Thankfully God answered my prayers of no work and i was able to snatch another hr of shut eye later this morning...

Theres like a billion things i could be doing but bleh its been another of 'those' weekends. I attended another friends wedding (yes ANOTHER one...) while theyre joyous occasions and im extremely happy for the couple part of me cant help but whinge and ask 'whens it my turn?!' But then thats selfish and perhaps a little too hasty, after all God surely has a plan, hopefully theres a special man there somewhere :D but my dear old ma reckons i scare them all away! TEEHEE :P sorry boys cant be helped.. much!

But seriously you know youre getting old when u go to a morning ceremony hang out during the day (by hang our i mean go to a friends place and watch a dvd), do the reception thing at night, feel like youve been out for aaaaaaaaaaaaaages and wait for it... its only 815pm! Wahhh i so wanted to curl up in my bed :( Alas we were only at course number 3 with abt another 7 to go.... *sniff* thats another thing i ate way to much til i was fit to bursting. The food was great but seriously who eats that much? Certainly not I! As my dad puts it i'm one of the little people ;)

At least i got to put my taste buds to the test. Those who know me really well will know that im a fan of plain food, especially those in the non spicy category... well its food that i consider safe. Though those super chums of mine from churchies sure help me in exploring new appetisers :D ive been to indian (whoda tought!) thai and another which escapes me at the mo...
But yes back to last sat nite.. what did i eat? there was weird jellyfish with a range of meat to start off with, wasnt too bad til i noticed pigs hair *eye roll*, then a sea food roll, in no particular order... soup of some sort, abelone with umm mushrooms i think? scallops & vegies with a dash of chilly (sure got the taste buds dancing something crazy), chicken, crab and lobster, fish which i think was Barramundi... was very tasty is all i can say! Then finally they brought in the rice and noodles.

Now heres what i dont get, i love my rice.. and i mean i LUUUURVE my rice and they left it til almost last. By then im totally stuffed and the mere sight of food almost makes me sick (i know disgusting) anyhow when i saw that rice im like geeee i gotta have some (slight drool) and my friend's like 'have some then just dont eat it all' but hmm i look at the food and i think all that waste! Truly we live in a society of waste, the amount of food that gets thrown out by restaurants is sickening to tell the truth.
But getting back to my rice, i succumbed and ate, i reckon i ate almost half abowl and it was deeeeeeeeeeelicious! *sniff* sadly though i paid the penalty for it :( by the time the wedding cake rolled around i was like FORGET IT! I swear i must have put on an extra kilo that night alone.. so much for trying to get back to my school girls weight.... diddums!

And i reckon all that food also played a part in my failing to get the boquet.... and it was the first time i err tried.. well half heartedly tried at least :P I shoulda accidently tripped the girl in front of me then i would have SCORED! :D i was inches away people! INCHES!! Ahh Queenie looks like im going to have to move into your spinsterhood flat! :P

So yes by the time i got home on satdy nite (only 1130 mind you) i was stuffed to put it bluntly, i was in my bathroom brushing my toothypegs and literally swayed with tiredness.. it was a wonder i made it to the bed, and yes you guessed it i slept like a log!

Yesterday was pretty much uneventful (thank goodness) watched yet another flick, went to church and had dinner at the golden arches where i literally shivered munching through my burger. Thankfully someone lent me their jacket which helped, though by the nights end my toes i swear were turning a shade of blue! Alas there were no socks to be lent that time :P HAHA what a suggestion!

So wats on the rest of the week i hear you ask? theres yr 4 tomoz, then oh dear 'that' yr 3 class, then *sigh* music on thurs and finally yay my yr 5 on fri! Remind me not to skip on hot asphalt in bare feet...
Oh and how could i forget CSB training day again on sat... oh yes thats also the potential 'history in the making' day! I wonder if it will be the (as someone else put it) day of revolution? the day of reckoning?.. election day! Ahh politics, don't you just love it!

Later gators!

'99 was indeed a funny year...

Lifes a funny thing..... well maybe not i mean with all this techno stuff advancing day by day i suppose i really shouldnt be at all surprised.

For a while i was engrossed with blog... i think tho it was more the writing side of it that attracted me to the land of blog. dont worry i wouldnt bare my entire soul online im not that daft! Got an actual book for that one :D TEEHEE
Anyways now its fb takin over the world well takin over the social world anyway. And im amazed at who i find there!

My tafe mates .. hadnt spoken to them in i dunno like 8 yrs.. a lot can happen in 8 yrs.
And seriously at the mo its been a stroll down memory lane! '99 was definitely a yr of MANY firsts for me! Yes partly due to you misha aka Joey :P u, stef and luisita bonnita!

I mean when i look back i wonder where id start! I can remember the very first time i stepped on that campus i was freaked out not just by the err weirdos on site but the boys man.. i hadnt had one in my class since 1990! So i went to an all girls school big deal!

And because i am extremely shy... yes i am despite wat some people think.... but anyway because of that fact i remember sitting there in bio (good ol bio with Bob HA!) i was the 'good' student who sat front row was totally attentive and didnt say a word.... that was until i was corrupted by the 4 mentioned above! i then became a back seat rebel... i dont remember how much work i did after that! what i DO remember tho is givin the teacher a hard time... how much of a hard time? i dunno.. Mish wadya reckon?

And there was maths! That was my fave!! Purely cos i was top of the class and loved to rub it in at the time! i think i only skipped one class and my teacher knew and she spoke to me abt it, i was shamed, i never missed another... yes even all your pleas didnt stop me from goin Luisita!

But yes tafe threw me into the thick of things so to speak, there was pool for a start. Once i started there was no stopping.. esp when someone mentioned "2 hrs free pool at the pub" and i was like did i just hear "TWO hrs FREE pool?!?!" at the time it was like heaven... simple things amuse small minds i guess!
And how could i forget the actual location of our humble building? set down in the valley totally surrounded my mechanics, woodwork/ construction boys and graphic designers. Us girls learnt to band together for safety! Lunch hrs were always an interesting affair!

And of course there were the 2 or 3 hr lessons.. yes u read right folks they were longer than uni lectures.... but then thats all ud end up doin in a day just 1 or 2 classes so at the most id only do 4 hrs in a day... a far cry from compulsory schooling. Cant believe i used to leave home 7 in the morning and get back home around 5 or later depending on wat was on that avo.. wat crazy person does that?!
And because tafe is tafe no one seemed to worry too much whether u turned up or not... not even when the class would take a break and well you just never went back to class.. i liked to think of those times as an extended break! :D

There were also those funny excursion which left me wondering what was the point of it all.... the museum one for example, i dont even remember what we did there! And the other one, was it Cross Reserve Mish? i think we looked at dirt, rocks and plants... fascinating stuff that! But youd go there do all ure work in abt an hr and then that was it we'd all bugger off somewhere.. so much for a days outing! Only the return trip made things interesting when u cram at least 6 people in a car and it struggles to drive up a steep hill..

Hmm so these are just 'some' of the memories i have of that *cough* wonderful place.

Do i miss the people? My lil troupe.. definitely!
Do i miss the place? highly doubtful...
Would i do it all over again? i dunno... lifes funny like that some people say theyd never do it again, but then i think well you're pretty much the person you are because of what youve done and whats happened to you. Everyones got a path to follow, sure ive done some crazy stuff and it hasnt been the easiest of journeys at times, i may have thought once or twice if only i hadnt done that or whatever.
But having done all those things i have unknowingly been on a journey that has seen me put faith in my Creator.
Would i change that? No way! Not for all the world...
