So, I'm finally posting about Canberra. I want to -ramble- more about New Orleans, but i've decided against it.
I was considering to do it differently but ... here it goes
-Get ready for the longest read in your life. Longer than xiaxue. I joined all 3 days, so it's gotta be long. You haven't seen me blog right? Well, I feel sorry for you. Unless you want to skip this. *gasp* But how can you skip a post made by the oh so wonderufl -shushy-?
Wednesday, 31st August 2005So, I woke up at 4:56 without any problems. funny really, if you remind yourself of the fact that I hadn't been very -eager- to wake up at 7:10 the day before. Pssh. Still, it was camp. Meh, it mighta not been as good if our whole class was together, but life is unfair ... get used to it.
I got to school, after mum fussing about everything, making me eat 2 bowls of noodles (mum's cooking will never fail me) and went searching for my friends. Rather, Shirley. She was the only friend on the bus after all ... ? Well, there were some ... but ... yeh.
So, we went on the bus, and i have a feeling we were more hyped up at Bathurst but ... so, in the -long- bus ride wishing i was on code's bus bickering about anything, I looked out the window. Figuring that I am shushy for god's sake, I rambled (or rather, listened to Shir ramble) about the Black Jewels trilogy remescising the good parts. Icky. Remind me to never do that again with Shir tho. Plz.
Then we rambled more about ... books? Figures.
Then we stopped at McDonalds. Since Shir and I were on Bus (or rather, coach as the bus driver calls it) we came early. 10 minutes earlier. Muhahahaha. But since i wanted to save money for ... things, i just wistfully stared at Shir's food ... she didn't take the hint tho. pssh. I jumped over to Code, Bella, Lindy and Tay, all lookin happy. happy.
Then we went on the bus again, (Don't forget the fact that i had opened my lollies, made to give them to Nick, Don, Edward ... and some others in the form of Bayu. I had patted Mahir with my lolly bag but only muttered a few curses and got angry ... until he saw the lollies. He was all like 'OMG. WE ARE SOOO BEST FRIENDS JIYE!' PSSH, TRUST HIM) and stared out the window, till we arrived at ... something. this weird place.
A place to learn about Canberra and the guy that designed it. (unfortunately for Mrs F, I have forgotten the guy's name after extensive research about him) So, we rambled through that then ... had lunch? in front of the National Gallery.
I mighta missed something, but eh. I gave my lunch to Shir since she could absolutely devour anything, then went in. everybody proclaimed it was
FREEZING but, come on! The weather was windy, icy windy. very icy. very nice. So, we went in, meeting up with Coach 2 (a.k.a. Code, Bella, Lindy, Tay) and Coach 3 (a.k.a. Nicole and Vickie) and ... walked through the gallery.
i've already been there so it wasn't toooo intersting, but i did go to kspace where we made some 3D buildings of the futre ... would've been outstanding ... if we didn't have the picture of us floating around on the screen ... damn. Erm, after that, i think we went to Gold Creek Resort. By now, my head was hurting, but still, Shir gave me 'Angels and Demons' to read (which i finished on the bus rides before we arrived till Syndey) so I was happy.
At Gold Creek Resort, i was happy. The cabins, no! ROOMS! were great, if you forget the fact Jessica and ... erm, the twins were there. They were actually okay, and i'm not laughing at them (If I don't laugh at Aaron, i don't laugh at them) it was just a bit uncomrfortable tho. Oh, then there;s the fact that you can only have electricity (lights) if you have the key ... and a few times , a many a times, we had to wait outside the door. in the cold. in the icy wind.
coz the others who were on different coaches came later than me and Shir. pssh.
Then we had dinner, a bit bland, but ... eatable. better than eatable. And our group with Dinusha, Andrea and Caroline added, we kinda went crazy and pretended to be ladies nearly spelt it landies there. So, yeh, we kinda played around, waiting last coz we were at the frathest end to get our meal.
Back we tramped to our cabins, ROOMS! actually, no we didn't. We went straight to QUESTACON! yay! go questacon. after making a show of putting our bags into ... things, WE WENT TO THE FREE FALL, THE GUILOTINE AND ... the 3D thing that totally freaked me out. Since the Free Fall (a slide that slides down ... duh ... but drops a metre at the start) was too crowded, tay, me, ummm, i actually forget who was waiting.
Then Jimmy, Jason and Matt joined us in the Cyberspace pretend roller coaster thing. hah! Jason was really scared. I hate to think so, but I think Matt enjoyed it even tho he screamed in fear then said 'Shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' I screamed at the start watching the screen, okay, i screamed LOUDLY but i looked away, and it was fine after that. Well, no. I screamed coz it was scary when i looked at the screen, and screamed for the sake of it when i didn't look at the screen.
Then We all went to the Free Fall, and even tho i didn't see Mrs. F (named Juvenile Fork) or Mr. Rowsell (named Pretty Flower) go down the slide, but i enjoyed myself seeing Jason freaked. I bet i held the same expression as him at the start, but it was enjoyable. After an hr of that, we went up to 'find out more about science'. enough said there.
Then we went to the souvenir shop and i bought this glowing ball and a torch. The glowing ball has actually been stolen by my father. I love the feeling when i realise my 'daddy' still has the memories of childhood! Go him ... but that's completely off the topic. Uncless, you're like Code and Me and can actually find the link between math and porn. *cough cough*
Then we went to bed. Or so they say. Our bunk, if you disclude Jessica and ... wats her name? and Shir who slept at 12 am, all the others, Code, Nicole, me and Bella talked about guys and the hatred between ... them until around 3. We have decided that Jimmy's group including Tay, is the Government, My group, my friends are the Opposition and Shir, Nicole, Vickie and ... others are Independents. AAAARGH! This government thing is actually getting to me!
And then ... we went through the profiles of guys, well at least Nicole and BElla did while Code and I were talking about ... things, and the cool story based on Japanese elements. So, the night went on.
DON'T FORGET THE FACT EVERYBODY EXCEPT JULIA (THAT'S IT!) AND JESSICA, WE ALL MOVED AROUND BEDS AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR EACH PERSON. ALSO, DON'T FORGET THE FACT THAT BELLA TAKES 27 MINUTES IN THE SHOWER! (Edward, i feel sorry for ya)
Then, we slept, i bet the teachers were grateful.-looooooong day-Thursday, 1st September, 2005Today was one of my best, and most horribubbliest days ever in the history of Jiye.After we woke up by a rappity tap tap by Mrs Faulker, 15 min before breakfast which was 7:30 i think. We had an okay breakfast, got our wallets and small bags considered of: New Socks. New Skivvy. BEanie. Scarf. I ended up thinking the beanie and scarf was a waste of space, but the socks and skivvy, omg. it saved me. you havfe no idea what i'm talking about ... Well. After a long trip, (1 and a half hrs twice, stopped at Cooma for snow gear) (also, remember, everything was done by coaches, so i hadn't seen any of my other friends except Shir from brekkie) we arrived at the ski tube to go up ... Mt Blue Cow or something. weirdly, no cows were in sight, let alone blue cows. it was a 30min ride up ... which meant 3 hrs and a half going to Snowy mountains, and 3 hrs and a half going bak to Canberra. which is 7 hrs if i'm not mistaken.And we only got around 2 hrs in the snow. it was worth it tho. When we actually arrived at the Snowy Mountains, the first thing Edward did, was throw a snowball at me. an icy one. I never knew he had such bravery. Go bella. Anyway, this is weird. When i've pressed bold, its normal and when i don't press bold, its normal. Back to the topic.So we fought.Pssh. No surprise there, when i say the guys were all aiming at me ... i should be feeling loved ... right? And we fought. And we fought. Once, i got so annoyed at Don and didn't have time for icy snowballs so i just slapped him. muahhahahahahaha. And we fought.After awhile, just before they decided to bury me in the snow with my grudging acceptance, tay was all sweetly going 'Oh, i'm sooooooo sorry jiye' she pushed snow through my back through my icy gear (which was by that time, wet as well as my gloves, which were not actually ... waterproof anymore, and my beanie throwed somewhere random) Through my clothes, and just under my skivvy. great. she did that 2 more times, walter did it once, and tay did it once again. Surprisingly enough, there was actually no space left down my back. (You could actually feel the ice in my clothes 2 hrs later where Mrs. Faulkner touched it.) Then they buried me. But i'm soo cool, i didn't get hypothermia. Go me! And my skivvy actually only dried around 5 hrs befre this. That's mroe than 60 hrs later, my skivvy dried. gasp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!gawd, my singlet was still wet by the time we came back from the snow! I think you get the hang of what happened, (didn't have time to be happy that i was in the snow then) so I'll move on. Before the bus ride, mrs. F was sooo horrified about what she saw happened to my skivvy, when we took all our gear off, she let me change it in the COACH ... nice of her really. After all, Ashley or Ashleigh, our coach driver, was actually very protective of his 'baby'. Then we stopped at Ginderbye for hot chocolate and chips, which Bella all stole. Muhahahahaha. I spent too much money there i reckon, but still ... Then we went to our resort, had dinner, had a shower, and slept early compared to the day before . At 12 am. OMG. i actually forgot the fact about the couples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sanji had asked Code and said yes in the snow. Tay asked Shir for Will, and Shir said yes. Tay asked Bella for Edward (you shoulda seen his expression!!!!!!! He was soooo happy. If i was bella, i would be feeling guilty coz Bella liked you-know-who more ... aw well) and BElla said yes after a -long- hesitation.Tay asked Lindy for Matt, and they said yes. well, duh. everybody knew they liked each other from aaaaaaaaaaaaaageeeeeeeees ago. And Tay and Nick are all lovey dovey over each other. Infatuation. So, here it is. The couples of 6F. Code and GG (weird) Bella and Squid or Creepy stalker edward Lindy and Matt Tay and Nick Shir and Will ha! *doing* I have a feeling Tay had pushed them a lil ... aw well.OMG. I actually forgot about Telstra Tower! So, we went up Telstra Tower with SHir wondering if Will had actaully said yes, coz tay said will hadn't really said yes afterwards. It was annoying. I guess i was annoyed with shir. So we went up the tower ... and down again. I spent the whole time buying twin dolphins for my annoying as hell but lovable sis, and china for my mum
-endness-Friday, 2nd September 2005 So, what did we do today? Woke up drearily, annoyed i didn't have a shower so my hair was all knotty, erm, ate a another ... *cough cough* okay breafast and then ... went to ... I dunno. Australian Electoral Commission centre or something. It was kool i guess. 3 rooms. 1. Watched a movie with holograms and overhead projectors. 2. Went around with a 'hands oon' thing with fact sheets to be comppleted out. 3. Tried voting. Eh. I can't be bothered to write. Let's just say, we did that, then go to the War Memorial, looked around what i've seen a hundred times, watched 2 movie kinda thingies, had lunch (just sandwiches ... blergh) went on the bus, then came to Sydney. -endness-
