lol, not entirely sure how i got roped into this one.
actually, no - that's a lie. i know exactly how i got roped into this one.
more things to be grateful for: random breaks in storms, flowerpot scones and boyfriends who make detours. oh, and well-timed changes in daylight savings :P
last minute decision to trek up to the blue mountains for the day with bf & co. and it was awesome. came very close to being an all day eating fest, but decided at the last minute to go to sublime lookout. so glad we did because it was so pretty and natural and amazing with the distant storm looming towards us.

got back to sydney in time for dinner and the script concert with uni peeps
thus, my march/april concert madness draws to a close :(
what a fortunate cookie! ed sheeran, the script and jason mraz. awe-inspiring performance, great vibe and lovely company in that order.
as always, enjoyed my car ride home with janice "my, so much has changed in the last year" liew. :D
late night conversations in the car with janice also rates very highly in my gratitude diary.
so much to be grateful for.
can't wait to see what this weekend brings...
donna.
one of many things to go into my recent gratitude diary is rekindling old loves. and that includes my love for these three, right here. i'm just so grateful that, though my love has waxed and waned over the years, we're in love in this moment :)
you guys are awesome.
you make me laugh and you make me fat and you make me addicted to caffeine in the best possible ways. can't wait to share more of these moments, whether it be impromptu bra shopping, befriending or befriending the staff, pretentious coffee orders, not talking about people or, hahaha, drooling together...i miss you already <3

love me some museums :D
went to the musuem of contemporary art (the rocks) to check out the Anish Kapoor exhibit on its last day (thanks to Jan's sis's recommendation)
some of the pieces were sooooo very cool.
then we checked out some of the other exhibits and...wow, sometimes art is so subjectively what. the. hell. & why?
but i guess that's also why i love art. makes me feel/think things even if its not what the artist originally intended.

april always calls for a few more blogposts :p
we celebrated hui's bday a few days early because girl has commitments for days
pretty much lied to her from the moment we saw her face hahah
gotta love her gift-receiving skills <3
then we kidnapped her to Seven Lanterns to try out their degustation menu
for $70, they sure did have some tasty things. I tried the lanterns menu, but because of my recent shellfish allergy scare, I had to be one of those picky people of swapped their courses :(
they really loved their sweet meat sauces, but other than that one little downside, the meal was pretty awesome. I also figured that I love sticky date pudding :)

Just got back from org masters road trip and its been awhile since this type of blog entry but I don't want to forget
Not quite sure how much to private yet lol
Woke up early at 8am to pack
Messaging Tab and Bel about last minute plans...at the last minute. Finally decided to drive the 4wd
Packed in about 15 minutes - whoot!
Left house relatively promptly at ten past and first stop was Tab's, where Joyce was also relatively on time. Had to park in the garage but that was okay. Also, accidentally left their car door open -.-
Coffee times!
Then took a wrong turn so ended up going pretty much home to get onto the Pacific Highway?
Listened to Taylor Swift and James Morrison from Tabs iPhone and had interesting conversations about love and life
Got to The Entrance around 12:30 after a couple more wrong turns. Tried to park on the first level of the free carpark but...couldn't. So went to second level and drove into a space instead.
Met peeps for fish'n'chips and sat on the grass. It was pretty alright. Adam brought his sandwich lol.
Apparently, the red-player was so law abiding even hui was trying to get him to speed xD.
Then it started to rain so we ran for it.
Police cut off the road, falling wall from one of the apartments. Biggest drama to hit the entrance since...the last drama.
Drove in the rain to quay west, magenta shores.
Checked in, and unloaded stuff. Great place to stay, though a bit pricey.
Everyone unloaded stuff (who is sleeping with who?) and we kind of sat around for a little bit before deciding to go to the -private beach- for a bit. Crashing waves, Dan the seal, awkward wet patches and incoming tide.
Bel and Kevin disappeared into the mist and we thought two people were them but it was a tanned old man in speedos and his companion.
The tide began to come in and Adam Bove would warn us every time there was threat of water. Lol at the anxiety.
Eventually we gave up on bel and Kevin and walked back to our lovely villas.
Can't remember what we did but I eventually ended up napping on me and hui's bed. Woke up to the arrival of makdo & co and the triumphant return of bel and Kevin.
We stood and sat around, chatting for a bit. Skies darkened.
Couldn't figure out dinner plans, and eventually we all got a bit too comfy so ended up ordering pizza. Learnt new way of saving on a pizza order via Tab.
Towards the end of dinner, we began to crack open the alcohol. Started off with cider and ended up in trouble...
I think we were all a bit quite until Adam Bove left and then...mayhem! Trololol.
Completely wasted opportunity with an empty villa. Dangit lol.
Kiss goodbye~
The more mature peeps began to play cranium.
Tab, Kevin, bel, mark and me ended up playing a drinking game with vodka mixers. I think we started off with sprite, but it was like...1/5 vodka in a big glass. Thanks Kevin!
Drinking game - sip every time mark laughed at his own jokes, every time we couldn't see his eyes, every time he acted 85, etc.
Got drunk pretty damn quick.
Lots of drunken texts.
Truth and dare - money and coitus. Lol. Mark and his agenda, his sucky questions and lol at him being the only one that enjoyed the game. So inappropriate.
Think this was around the time he asked bel to consider moving in with him.
Tab and bel hid his car keys so he felt everyone up.
lots of hugs.
I think random peeps were joining us a fair bit - Leigh, Joyce, Aine, etc
I know I'm talking about mark way too much but he was so cute when he was drunk lol
Like a little kid, but like more inappropriate and needing validation. Wouldn't answer how many partners he'd had hahhahah
What a gentlemen xD
Around this time, I reached my limit and couldn't drink anymore. Felt sick. Ew.
At some point we went up to make sure he'd showered. Me and tab ended up sitting in front of the bathroom. he was so cute with his faux nakedness.
Then he came back out and announced he wasn't wearing anything and showed way too much skin lol
He starts jumping in everyone's beds, mostly tab and bels and Joyce's air bed
Brushed his teeth with his fingers.
Then his own but refused to stay with hui cos...it's hui haha oh! Hui went to bed around 1?
Some time we ended up in tab and bels room in the dark
Where we ended up playing murder in the dark, I was standing around when Dan kind of tackled me in th dark. Freaked us the hell out. Hint of thunderstorms. Hiding in cupboards.
Ended up on the bed, just chilling in the dark.
And then Leigh came in, and I was hungry so he got me pizza. So sweet. I ate it in the bath tub and they said they'd turn the water in but I didn't let them.
Then other people came up and ruined the spell. But then they quickly went back downstairs cos tab said she wanted to sleep. I think Kevin was dying at this point - I.e. puking.
But then we just ended up with the five of us on the bed. Bel, me, tab, Joyce and mark. Lots of inappropriate groping. I think bels face, was like in my crotch or at least upper thigh.
Joyce confirmed that mark wasn't wearing any undies. And used her hair clip to -bite- him. Lol.
Bel kept trying to kick him off. We started talking about menopause and I can't even remember what.
He wouldn't leave for ages and we almost all fell asleep together on the king bed. Finally around 3, he left and we all got up one by one to eventually brush out teth and go to sleep.
Ended up waking hui and was scared to move.
Slept alright but...pain waking up.
Awful pain and parched mouth.
second day was not as exciting
left central coast around 2:30pm, and didn't get home until 7:30 (via eastern suburbs and wynnie's place)
