the deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy

fri: had formal dinner~  student committee was invited and 7 of us went! it started off with a mass in the sch chapel and then a 4-hour-long dinner at the dining hall! hehe.. wore a navy jacket with frilly blouse and scottish skirt~ all my friends looked realli good too~! actualli uploaded the pics to my feb intake #2 album alreadi so go and see!!! there were abt 200 pple present and they wore super formal.. they wore like black bowties with tux shirts & evening dresses and over that they all wore their graduation gown~ so grand! and i sat next to a neurologist who was realli nice to me~! each time i looked quiet he would talk to me abt everything~ he's a cool dude! and his wife was realli lively and humourous too~! made andre laugh a few times~ and food was damn good! the entree was a small bunch of noodles stuck together with crab or lobster on top with some nice gravy surrounding it~ main was beef & lamb with risotto topped with mushrooms soaked in realli expensive truffle sauce~! dessert was super nice too~! a choc tart in some kinda jam, wattle cream (the best!) and some custardy ice cream~! *smacks lips* i have no idea how the westerners can take such a long time to finish the meal.. i mean.. the choir was very beautiful and i wud pay a generous amt to watch them in concert but they din have to sing for such long intervals between each course! kenneth, andre and i cudn't take it and went outside for fresh air once and took so mani lame photos~! later florence joined in too! hehe.. quite fun ah~ at dessert i sae next to a french-vietnamese lady who was realli sweet to me~ and altho she knew i was underaged she made mi drink port wine (40%)! oh wells.. port is good! an elderly lady at my table had a seizure and she shook so violently until she fainted.. luckily there were quite a lot of doctors among the guests mannn.. i hope she's all right.. managed to leave at 1++am to meet mi mum and walk home!

sat: oh mann i woke up at 5.30am and was like making sure i had all the stuff i needed for my ski trip at 7am and had a nice breakfast eating rice-cakes~ then i remembered tt my street had no tram on saturdays!!!! it was like.. WAD THE HELL!!! and i ran down towards swanston with my luggage in tow.. managed to get a taxi and got to the tour bus at a little afta 7am! felt kinda bad for holding the bus up~ there was onli one seat left on the bus so i sat with porky~ haha.. he was all right~ made lotsa corny jokes and slept a lot~!

reached mt. buller 3 hours later it was -5 degrees Celsius and it was super cold~ took me an hour to stand up but once i did it, it was smooth-sailing all the way~ i just need to polish mi directional skills~ but the falling snow was terrible.. the strong wind blew the hard snow onto our faces and it felt like micro-knives trying to cut our faces!!! wrapped things up at abt 5 and went back to our accomodation but took 2 hours cos 5 students were sorta lost on a different shuttle bus. alamakss.. poor people! ! so i sat there in my very wet clothes shivering like siao! ohh.. and onli then i discovered tt mi poor cousin alan fell on his arm and injured himself so he got sent back to melb! i think i accidentally leant my head on porky while sleepin and afta a while he woke me up and said "i can't support ur head" SO PAI SEH!!! luckily i was too sleepy to be pai seh man!!

once i got back i settled into mi cabin and changed!!! went for dinner a bit too late.. it was chinese take-out.. and i'm realli sorri but it wasn't good. the gravy was too thick but i was so hungry so by the time i got there there was very little meat left and i ended up eatin a super load of veggies! hehe~ the cabin was like a tyre-less caravan with a kitchen, a triple-decker bed and a bathroom~ my assigned roommates ran off to their frens' cabins but my cabin was nex to my girl frens so i was okae abt having the whole place to myself... but at midnight 2 student services staff (nick & evelyn) came by and bunked with mi cos their place had no electricity~ hehe slept on the big bed with evelyn. hope i din snore too loudly~

sun: woke up at 6.30am.. my phone alarm was so loud tt nick and evelyn woke up straight awae~ hehehe.. tt's a good thing~! packed up and had a huge breakfast for another day in the snow!!! got to mt. buller again to go tobogganing.. it's like sledding on a piece of plastic and rope~! realli fun man~! ==3 went with a whole bunch of ppl and had a huge snowball fight changing targets every now and then~! even i was not spared~!! had a delicious pizza lunch and soon it was time to go back to the bus.. luckily i wasn't as wet this time and i went back all warm and comfy~! went to shumei's place to shower and we had dinner on lygon with nick, evelyn & wai hong~ =] nick was cool enuff to send shumei & me home~ hehe
