Some people are just not worth it...

Money can't buy happiness, maybe you'll learn that one day but till then, all I can do is pray. Seriously, I care too much about stupid matters but I guess that's just who I am?

Did I mention how much I detest Quickbooks??? I DETEST QUICKBOOKS!!!!

After our finance lecture, Sara and I tried to look for a computer lab in the Economics and Comerce Building but to no avail. Dennis told us to try The Spot. The lady at the Commerce Student's Centre in The Spot told us that there were no student labs in The Spot or the Economics and Commerce Building. She told us to try Bouvirie Street or the Bailleau Library. However, she did not tell us where exactly on Bouvirie Street, all she said was that the building should have a "University of Melbourne" sign on it. No building name nor number.

Sara and I walked the whole of Bouvirie Street. Practically every building on that street had a "University of Melbourne" sign on it. We came across the strangest buildings..."The Department of Textiles", "The Department of Population Health" and stuff like that. After reaching the end of the street, we headed to Union House for lunch. Lunch was followed by a trip to the Bailleau Library which by the way does not have the software we need for our assignment. Thus we headed back to Bouvirie Street.

We finally found the damn building in a little cubby hole along Bouvirie Street! Finding the building was the easy part...we couldn't even figure out how to open the file on the computers. It took us a good 20 minutes just to open the damn file. We were beyond clueless when it came to the actual work. After a few hours in the lab, we headed back for dinner with nothing accomplished.

Did I mention how much I detest Quickbooks??? I DETEST QUICKBOOKS!!!!

I cooked dinner then washed up. Met Sara and Dennis at the seminar room on my floor after that. We tried to do our Intro to Microecons assignment and we became very confused...

Dennis: You listen to country right? So like Kenny Rogers and stuff?
Sara: Kenny Rogers...is food!!! *funny expression*
Dennis and Me: HUH??? *shocked expression*

Sara didn't know that Kenny Rogers was a musician despite the records and pictures of Kenny Rogers performing all around the Kenny Rogers restaurants :s

Sunday 26 April 2009

I had to drag Sara out of bed in the morning. Vic market was calling our names. My fridge desperately needed to be re-stocked. I bought a ton of meat and vege as usual.

We had lunch on that freezing cold day while waiting for the rain to stop. After a lot of waiting (over an hour), we decided to call Jo to see if he still had his car. He was nice enough to pick us up. Unfortunately, after we called him, the rain stopped.

We dropped our stuff off at College Sqaure then he dropped us at church. Naughty boy drove off after dropping us off so he didn't attend church. Towards the end of the service while we were praying, this disturbed lady ran through the isles screaming for some guy called "alem". She was seriously disturbed thus she had to be forcabley removed by security. Sara and I thought she was looking for an ex-boyfriend or something like that. Aunty Grace thought it was a play at first, she was waiting for the next scene. Despite that interruption, the service was pretty good. Less screaming, more learning.

Sara and I were very worried after the service ended. We tried looking for Aunty Grace because we didn't see her in any of the seats but she didn't pick up any of our calls or reply to my sms. Sara called her house and Uncle Mark said they were all at church. We waited for ages but couldn't find her at the exit. Finally, the last people to come out were Nadia, Siska and Aunty Grace. Hooray!! They were found!!

We followed them to the city to buy flowers and Aunty Grace told me some unsettling stuff. All we can do is pray I guess, pray that people find their way. I am quite bothered about it though, can't seem to wrap my mind around it. I have a ton of questions but my thoughts are pretty jumbled up so I don't know what I'm thinking. I never knew everything was that bad...

Sara and I met Jo for sushi after Aunty Grace left for a house warming party then Jo and I went for dinner at Lygon. Meg and Rachel met us for dinner after we finished our dinner because apparently Jo is really bad at giving directions. Ming and his friends Daniel and Albert met us too.

Rachel had a half an hour conversation on whether the "chicken rice soup" on the menu was chicken plus rice in soup or porridge (not oats) or chicken flavoured rice in soup. Finally she decided to ask the waiter to find out.

The other long conversation of the night was about bones. Rachel didn't know that salmon fish have bones. Meg didn't know that sharks have bones. Ming argued that eels have bones but Rachel said that eels only have cartilage. I think it was Daniel who said that jellyfish don't have bones but Rachel argued that they did because she read it on a bottle cap. I was pretty silent throughout the dinner, you know me right? Shy as always.

We went to Freddo's after dinner. Ice-cream on that freezing cold day? No thank Q! I was supposed to meet Sara half way inbetween Freddo's and College Square because she was afraid she would get lost. I made it all the way back to College Sqaure and I still had to wait for her in that freezing weather because she still wasn't ready and she didn't answer her phone. We did finally make it back to Freddo's just as Meg, Ming and Rachel were leaving. Sara then decided to tell me that she didn't feel like having ice-cream and I was like "WHATTTT????". After my long walk in the cold, she doesn't even want ice-cream??? She did get ice-cream in the end, just to make me happy.

I had a ton of laundry to do when I got back. I had to wait for the machines though because they were in use. After the machines were emptied, I carried one basket to the laundry room. I then left to get my other basket. On my way out of my door, I saw this girl heading to the laundry room so I sped up. She actually opened the door for me and I hogged the machines. Although I was there first, it didn't look like it because there were two other girls in the room using the dryers so my first basket didn't look like it was mine. She must think I'm an absolute bitch because I took both the machines so she couldn't use them. In my defense, I was there first and I had a ton of laundry that I was struggling to carry, she on the other hand only had a few towels in her hands (no basket needed).

The usual Sunday routine followed. Wiping table tops, vacuuming the floor and printing my notes. I only finished everything at like 3am. I was seriously pooped after all that!

Sara and I slept in till like 2pm then we trammed to Docklands. We fell in love with this cheap arse shoe store. The shoes are seriously gorgeous!! I bought two pairs and Sara bought three :D

Sara: Oh no! We forgot to have lunch!
Me: Screw lunch! We have shoes!

Did I tell you how much I detest Gloria Jean's?! The cashier was sooooo blurrr!!! She had glasses at the tip of her nose and her mouth hung open like it was supposed to catch flies.

Cashier: You want cret? You want cret?
Sara: HUH???
Cashier: You want cret?
Sara: Oh you mean whipped cream? No cream please.
Cashier: Ya whit cret!
Sara: No cream please.
Cashier: What's your name?
Sara: Sara. S, A, R, A.

The cashier typed her name onto the system. Her name was entered as "Sera". She forgot our order but when she did remember, I got my apple juice in a bottle that couldn't be opened!

Apart from that one shoe store, Harbourtown is pretty uneventful. It started raining towards the end of our shopping trip. My Uggs are not waterproof :( We rushed and made it to the tram just in time.

Jo picked us up for dinner with Meaghan and her boyfriend after we returned from Harbourtown. Meg was too tired to go for dinner so Sara, Jo and I went to Southgate without her and her boyfriend. On the way there, Sara said, "my toes are so toasty despite being exposed to the elements". Jo and I gave her a weird look. I'd never heard anyone describe peep-toe shoes like that.

Bistro Vite was the restaurant of choice after a lot of looking around. Vite means quickly in french but they were not very quick when it came to serving our food. We froze to death while eating outside and I just refused to wear my jacket. The waiter was much better than that ghastly waitress at Grecco's. Quite a nice dinner compared to the shit I've been eating at other Melbourne restaurants.

It was freezing when we walked back to Crown. Sara said, "I want a boyfriend who loves my feet so he can hug them when they are cold". HAHAHA!!! Boyfriend with a foot fetish!

Of course we had to go to the arcade! I finally got to ride on my simulator which turned out to be an absolute joke! I won an eraser, a whopee cushion and a bouncy ball with my tickets.

Curse Grecco's!!!! I can't for the life of me understand why we keep going back there when the staff and the food is awful!!! We arrived at the counter when no one else was there but there was no one at the counter to serve us. After other people started coming, a waitress came to the counter.

Me: Can I have one lemon meringue pie,...
Waitress: Wait behind that guy *points her finger* (just because he happened to stand right in front of a cash register which is hidden so no one can see)
Me: But we were here first
Waitress: Yeah, wait behind that guy
Me: But we were here before anyone else was here!!
Waitress: Wait behind that guy
Me: WHAT THE F***!!! ARE YOU STUPID????...Ok so I didn't say that but I was thinking it.

After we finally got to order, Sara asked for a reciept. The cashier did not know how to print a reciept and when she did figure out how to print one, she printed and gave us a reciept with many other people's orders on it. They didn't even give us boxes for our cakes, they came in paper bags. Seriously curse Grecco's!!!

I gave Sara and Jo something to laugh about on the way back to his apartment. What was so funny? I don't know. They were very amused though. When we got back to the apartment, I peeled off the paper which was on top of my chocolate cheesecake and that was when the chocolate fight began. I chased Jo around the apartment and eventually smooshed chocolate on his face (after Sara tried to strip him) then I ran to the bathroom to hide. Just when I thought everything was ok, I opened the toilet door and bam, Jo tried to smoosh chocolate in my face. The inevitable happened next, Jo and I smooshed chocolate in Sara's face. Ming was sitting there so amused by what was going on. My first food fight...stoopid boy ruined my brand new, dry clean only, white dress.

Sara washed up and changed into Jo's t-shirt. I took a shower because I was too grossed out having chocolate in my hair. Jo showered after I was done with the bathroom. Sara was sitting across from me when I was eating my not very nice cheesecake. She was trying to figure out what smelled. She smelt her hair and everything else but she couldn't figure it out. Finally she smelt Jo's shirt and boy did it smell! Her expression was sooo funny!

Jo sent us home after everyone was done washing up. What an eventful night...

-Choc chip muffin bar (breakfast)

What a boring day is all I can say.

I got back my intro to microecons assignment. 9.5/10, not too shabby.

Sara and I are the only two fools who stay at home doing nothing on a Friday night :(
