Mm Bop Ba Doo Ba Bop

So much has happened in the space of 5 days!

Sunday:
Mad rush to the city to help Steffie & Jack with grocery shopping. We bought an INSANE amount of food. Like SERIOUSLY INSANE. Also had to run back to Jen's place to start getting ready for Yilin's dinner and Silk Road after! Jen made this amazing black forest cake that just made me go nom nom nom mmmmm :) Just when I got my hair all done and pretty, it started to drizzle -_-" Had to walk to Hardware Lane for Yilin's thing as well =_=".

Yilin's dinner thing was pretty fun. Kevin went as well so that was cool, didn't think I'd see him after his Bday party last sem! Lin was entertaining us with her food-scabbing habits and arguments about how she wants to help children from broken families but at the same time she HATES kids (???). Rach and Rod were back from Sydney, MIRANDA also came (haven't seen her in forever!!), so did Lena and Charlie. Also got to meet Yilin's new man - Twanson (fully approve!!, btw)

Then had to go back to Jen's for quick pre-drinks (which we did on the move!), then trammed it to Silk Road to meet Steffie, Alice and Chris. Can I just say that Silk Road is.... everything that epitomises high society life. Felt rather GossipGirl-like walking in there! The atmosphere was amazing, it was so classy so grand so everything! Definitely best clubbing experience EVER. Even when our feet hurt, there were so many comfy couches to sit on to chill.

The music was great (this rarely happens), they played a really good range of songs, including grease lightning, M.J., BACKSTREET BOYS, NSYNC, BRITNEY SPEARS (when she was good) some other old-skool stuff. Was really good!!! The energy on the dance floor was just.. exhilarating! Some of the 3rd years went as well, so that was fun! We actually spent a good 20mins with Leighton talking about GossipGirl hahaha!

Things turned out really well that night, ended up staying till 3am! (when the lights came on hahaha) Then went back to Jen's.

Monday:
Woke up, and went home. Started cooking some more cos Jin came back from camp and there's literally no food left at home and mum's coming back on Wed. Everything went really well until I had this brilliant idea of mixing pasta with its sauce. I put it all into a big box, put the lid on and then shook it really hard. Worked really well, until a corner of the lid came undone and pasta just went flying everywhere. Jin looked at me with this "OMG WTF DID YOU JUST DO" look.. and I started laughing so hard.

After cleaning everything up, this HUMONGOUS fly came in and we both screamed and ran upstairs. Then I decided we had to kill it somehow. So I cautiously came back down and whacked it really hard with some magazine, and guess what it got hit into a box with a glass bottle -_____-" Still semi-alive, it was trying to get out. Eventually managed to tease it out somehow and we basically hacked it to death with a dustpan. Mission accomplished.

Did some work after, then started packing for the road trip to Mt Martha with Steffie, Jack, Kwee Loong and Eric.

Tuesday:
Woke up 7:45am. Walked to tram stop, then took tram & train to flinders. Met up with the others..and then began our hour long train ride all the way to FRANKSTON. Was going to visit Arthur's mum's shop there, but decided against it after realising we'd probably get so lost in the process.

Hopped onto the bus, and 1.5hrs later... got to IGA - to buy drinks. WOO! Then walked to our rented beach house :) At first it was really scary, cos the door was unlocked and open. And we were trying to lock it but it wouldn't work!! But after we tweaked it and stuff, it was all good!

THE HOUSE IS AMAZING. It's like the house that keeps on giving: lots of food, drinks, dishwasher (thankgoodness), washing machine, dryer, beddings, lots of towels, kitchenware, board games, comfy sofas... *i miss it already!*

We unpacked then started cooking lunch: Chicken & Mushroom pesto pasta + honey chicken wings. YUMMMMM.. After lunch, while waiting to digest, I did a neuro lect while people played pictionary. Then we slip, slop, slapped and headed to the BEACH!!

Beach was good. Not as good as Bondi, but pretty good for Victoria. Played a game of catch on the beach for about 10mins, then everyone decided we were just too UNFIT so it's time to sunbathe. LOL. (Sport FAIL). Tanning worked!! I am a shade or two darker now, and that makes me a happyful Lin :) We stayed for so long till it got cold.

Headed back and somehow ended up in IGA buying more FOOD??? That's when we bought about 6 packs of TimTams for $1.29 each. I have no idea why it's so cheap in Mt Martha! Then went back home to crank up the barbeque.

We had the meatiest dinner of my life. Sausages, steaks, beef slices, prawns, chicken wings. It was actually insane. Have never seen so much cooked meat in front of me in my life. (Buffets don't count).

After dinner we played Uno Attack. Which Kwee Loong won like 4 times in a row. -______-" I went to bed at about 3am, the others turned in at 4.

Wednesday:
Woke up at 1.30pm. Everyone else was awake already (naturally). They were busy cooking a very late brekkie/lunch/brunch. Pancakes, Sausages, Eggs, Garlic Bread, Chicken Wings (we had 4kgs). I just lazed around and did some more neuro (too much work aaahhh). Started eating at 3pm. Finished at 4, and then we pulled out the kayak (I KNOW RIGHT!!) and went to the beach.

Unfortunately it got really cold at about 4. So we couldnt even go into the water or sunbathe. :( But it was fun nonetheless. The boys were making stupid bets about Eric sleeping with the doll tonight (he's doll-phobic). We went home and played Uno Attack instead (seriously might as well stay in Melb right? hahahaha!). After 2 hours, and after another 2 consecutive wins by Kwee Loong (-_____-"), we decided screw this time to make dinner.

Once again, we had only meat. WOO! Spent hours eating dinner and talking over empty plates. Had a little counselling session for me. Kwee Loong was so funny I seriously almost died laughing hahahaha. Very interesting convo that night, helped me with a very important (dont laugh) decision! =P

Did some laundry, and the drying process, seriously took 5.5 hours. double-you-tee-eff.

Wed/Thursday
Later on we played Pictionary, and seriously.. there were MANY literal-ROFL moments.
--> "Head Dick", "New Zealand", "Canine ≠ Bicuspid", "Rabbit", "Vacuum ≠ Swan", "Avenue K"

OHHH man it was hilarious! Played pretty much half the stack of Pictionary... ended up being 4am. Then we kinda sat around gossiping/debating if we should go to bed. It was 6am when we all decided to move from the comfy couch. 6:30am I proposed we don't sleep at all, we just wing it and go home at 9am. Ate instant noodles, then tried to talk some more... but people started dropping off..

I crawled into bed.. slept till 8.30am when Eric came in to wake me. Then there was a mad rush to pack up and get ready. Left the house and ran to IGA to buy more TimTams, then caught the bus back to the train station. Slept on the bus and train, got off at MC, then made my way home.

It was so much fun, so relaxing, so nice to get away from it all. Wish we could go back :(
ROAD TRIPS ARE SO MUCH FUNNNNNN

Well, time for more work now :( Gotta focus and get things done.. only few more days before Uni starts (noooooooooooooooooo)
