Welcome back to the blogging world, evy!
Hideeeeehoooooo! Did you guys miss me? Sorry for not updating sooner...time has just flown past without me really registering with what has happened! It's horrible when things just seem like a complete blur, but it's OK I guess after a month and a half things have settled and I is back with more ramblings and recounts of what I've been up to!!!
OK! Sometime in June, the Fit-R-Us gang headed to Bullsbrook for our much anticipated event...THE MAZE! We all got up wonderfully early and headed to Jas's place for car pooling, but disaster struck early when we found out that ama and charm had broken down on the side of the freeway and couldn't make it =( They told us to continue with the event without them, so we went ahead with our plans for breakfast at maccas. We met up with Eva and the rest of the gang and feasted on wonderful sausage and eggs muffins and hasbrowns...mmm! The mini road trip to bullsbrook was pretty eventful too, there was a detour, jas almost driving on the wrong side of the road and waking us up very well and PINEAPPLE LUMPS! We were having so much fun already and we hadn't even started the mazes. Anyhoo! We arrived at our location and decided to enter the biggest maze without much hesitation, this is what we came here for! We entered together and somehow got split up into 2 groups...my group thought the maze was easy until we got in halfway, then we kind of got lost...I would've been scared if I was by myself...nothing was scarier than the slide we went down though...it felt more like a vertical drop! fun though! After we all found each other again we tried the rest of the mazes...the 2 pine mazes where one of us got badly injured by a tree root...lucky we were prepared for it! There were also some mazes that required the use of the brain, I ended up just following everyone and made it out, smart! Then there was the disc golf (i think that's what it was called) which was the most fun activity to do there...it's just like mini golf except much bigger and instead of a ball and club you throw a frisbee! I came last in this =( The park also offered a 9 hole mini golf course, which was packed and made us rush through it a bit. We did a lot of other stuff too like, animal sight seeing (kangaroos, koalas, birds birds birds and peacocks!) lunch at the iguana cafe, rope maze and lots more! I would say that we all had a blast and thanks to all who made it possible =D
Also in the last half of June, my books from the bookdepository came! I was so excited to receive them because of the whole free shipping deal and discounted books, so awesome...thanks dorky for organising it all for me =) My brother left Perth for Sydney again after a 3 week holiday...it felt like he had never left...so annoying haha, but hope he enjoyed the comforts of home again it was good to have him back =) The iPhone also got a major update, which changed my phone alot...now I can multitask, put apps into folders, zoom with my camera, change my background, pinpoint where i take my photos on a map and heaps more...it's quite amazing =)
I also caught up with the highschool friends, christine, sarah and sharlene and christine's new house in kardinya! Chi cooked us a yummy pasta lunch with salad and I brought along chocolate crackles as a house warming gift =) Gosh, I miss these girls so much and the memories of the stupid fun things we used to do at school. It's good to say that none of us has really changed much, we are all so weird still and hilariously funny! They have all travelled so much and we were listening to Sarah's europe/usa trip that she had just been on...so lucky. I wonder when it will be my turn to explore the world? I would love to visit london and new york!!! Anyway, it was a really good catchup session for me especially, since I've been out of whack with everything so it was good to hear about the going ons of each of their lives...from all the news I've heard I'm really happy for the girls! lovelovelove them!
On the 1st of July dorky took me to watch eclipse! I was really excited and anxious too and not because I had teaching the next morning. I had higher hopes for this movie because i knew that there had to be more action in this one than the last 2 movies and also...eclipse is my favourite book out of the whole series, so it couldn't be a let down! All I can say is nice...hehe! I loved it and noticed a lot of things, like how hairy edward is, how small jacob's eyes really are, how much prettier bella is in this movie and also how awesone jane is...hehe i'm such a twilight fan it's sad. But yay! Thanks for the movie date dorky =)
With July, there also came the school holidays, yay for no last minute teaching jobs and boo for kids being everywhere for 2 weeks! At the end of the first week, the gang had a movie night at eva's house! We all kind of rocked up really late because of work and late dinners. Once we were gathered and had paid our packet of marshmallows to eva we started jas's chubby bunny game! Omgosh...it was really quite gross, amazing, deadly but fun all at once! We filmed each other stuffing marshmallows into our mouths and even us spitting it out....mmm soggy marshmallows! We went for 2 rounds and averaged our scores and eva won..shes got some good mouth stuffing skills! We also watched a movie beforhand? But! I can't remember what we watched...grr! Oh well, funfunfun!
Eva and Jas left for there Melbourne trip! They were so lucky...i really wanted to go and eat and shop too! But oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities...hope that had an awesome time!
At the end of the holidays Sarah planned a night out for us girls...kind of like a farewell thing. She was moving to Brisbane =(!!! It seemed really sudden, but she said she had thought about it and needed a change in life, so good on her for being brave and getting out there. Anyway, Sarah wanted a fun night out in nb to have drinks and be silly but at the very last minute before we were to meet, Sharlene cancelled saying she was having boy troubles and was really upset so the mood kind of changed and we decided to have a night in. We had chicken with tereteh for dinner, which puzzled me and it ended up being a 'fancy' name for chicken treat haha. We drank champagne and had toasted so many times to bazza and her boy troubles, sarah going away, rugs, chicken tereteh, passion pop and so much more haha. We attempted to watch movies but got carried away with icecream and strawberries and passion pop..omgosh grossest drink ever I had to add sugar...i felt drunk after 2 sips! Anyway our night out turned out to be a cosy night in, I think I enjoyed this more than going out because we could talk and just be silly in comfy clothes hehe. I hope Sarah has a blast in Brisbane and that everything goes well for her...I'm gonna miss her heaps and I'm sad I hardly caught up with her while she was here (taking people for granted...sigh) but I guess now I have an excuse to go visit her yay!
On a Monday night dorky and me had a dinner date with treeboi and chenelle. They recommended that we go to a place called la lola in nedlands? It was a small and warm looking place and the only lively place on the whole street that night! After a little wait outside for a table (they don't take bookings) we got a table for 4 and started reading the menu. Everything looked really good! We started with starters/tapas hehe!! They were yum, especially the paper thin beef and omg i ate bruchetta with roasted capsicums and I didn't want to be rude and say I'm not eating that...so I was forced to...it tasted ok, not my favourite though! For our mains I got a lemon and crab spaghetti dish and had some smoke salmon pizza, which was so good! Chenelle let me try some of her lamb shank, which was very tender and I also tried dorky's horfun looking homemade pasta..yum! For dessert we had tiramisu (my new food phase!) and the tree had a bread pudding, which was pretty nice =) Food aside, we talked and caught up a lot, it was really great and refreshing catching up with them actually =) I can see that they love food just as much as us so I think there could be more dinner dates in the near future (i hope) yay!
On the theme of catching up with old friends on Wednesday, I caught up with Miri from uni! We decided it was time to meet and since she was back from korea, we could! We met in the city for lunch at Takas. She told me she was just outside Takas when the naked man with a gun was on the billboard and she got the shock of her life haha...you had to see her expression, it was so funny! We talked about her going back to uni and she seemed really stressed about needing to pass her prac...i hope she does so she can stay here! We also discussed teaching, korea and bfs! haha! I accompanied her in dropping off resumes for work around the city before we went food shopping then it was home for both of us. I'm glad she's back, she's such a cute friend to have =)
On Friday i finally caught up with Jenny, after a year! I kept randomly bumping into her and saying we had to catch up properly! Anyway we decided to do what we used to do back when we were younger...to meet at our busstop and train it to the city! We ended up eating at the pancake place on carrilon for lunch...it's such a good place! It was my second time there and I can't remember who I went with on my first time (annoying me that I can't think! if it was you...tell me!). I ordered the seafood crepe, banana smoothie and wedges to share...yum! We then started to browse around, which ended up with us shopping quite a bit, tops and we bought the same shoes! haha impulse buy! Shopping with jenny is bad! she says everything is nice haha but she's so sweet though =) We talked non-stop, like we used to, looked at pretty things, kept eating even though we were full and just didn't want the day to end. Gosh...that day that I felt really happy and satisfied, I think that my satisfication was also due the week of catchups I had had! Good fun =)
I might organise bbt tonight or sometime during the week, feel like catching up with the gang and hearing more about melb, uni adventures and everything in between =)
