thanks Harvard for your house!
i love going to people's houses (:
i'm looking at my set of boardgames right now. oh, how i have abandoned them all for over 2 years. shall play them sometime (ie after hk)
but it was a fun day.
also, stalking at people's formal photos are quite cool. there's this one dress, kind of teal, one shoulder w/ some jewel things-i have seen this dress at least 6 times already! if i see it on friday, i'll point it out.
oh, and my dress still fits (secretly jumping w/ joy) so far this year (according to my fb), i have seen one person wear my dress, but in a different colour.
i think i ceebs w/ jewellery and nails. like, no one in photos/irl is going to look at your hand.
and, i think i can relate to bitter's post a while ago, and littlemisssunshine a while ago, about digging through their mum's closet. i finally found blouses/tops with the really nice/cool breezy material which, i think my aunt gave my mum who never wore it. they sell for 10 bucks these days, so yes, 50+ saved!
i can't believe my uncle came all the way from hk to go to cairns. and i found out the reason today: apparently there's a solar eclipse. i guess, he's rich so he can go wherever he wants whenever he feels like. he could at least shout me to go china like he did with my cousin and her boyfriend who she broke up with a year later (which is totes a waste of money) oh well, he promised me high tea in hk at a really top place w/ champagne (:
still haven't had a drink yet. there's plenty of time later on in life. i don't get why other people want to kill their livers aka themselves whilst so young...
yes, bella finally left! i've been waiting ever so long for her to go away.

Birkenhead Point
finally!
apparently, i've been there about 10 years ago.
there were long dresses, but not my type. couldn't find any maxi/cool/cut out dresses. but i found my dress again! last time it was at a white persons formal shop in rouse hill, this time also in a white person shop. this shop said it was a "new arrival" but when i bought it in the city this year, it was "old stuff"
these marketing strategies...
so today's shop didn't have a sale for it, so the place i bought it from in the city was the cheapest as they had a sale back then. i don't know where my dress receipt went, but i'm pretty sure i got 100 off the marked price. my dress's style, so far, will hardly ever go on sale. apparently it's branded. i didn't even know until the person said it was made in australia. i tried googling the company, but there wasn't a website.
didn't end up buying any clothing, will save that for hk. but i got a new wallet! yay (: my cuurent wallet kind of broke a few months ago, but never had the time to buy a new one back then.
awkward moment when my desk and surrounding is messier than during trials and hsc. no joke. i'm going out on wed as well, so it's defs 26th november will be my first stay at home day (since the 25th is sunday-> church) since hsc has finished. going out every. single. day. i do not understand how people can just stay at home. don't they have stuff to do and places to go?
samantha on x-factor keeps on getting better. i finally voted! (though fb)

Frankenweenie
so some points expired tomorrow, so i had to use it by today, and i think it's not worth using a free ticket for a child price, thus i got my mum to come with me so she could use the free ticket.
well, it's a Tim Burton movie, so the actual graphics were different/weird and halloweeny.
it was overally pretty nice. simple story line, that i think my mum could understand (she has really bad English, so shows like yday's ovo is good since it had hardly any english, and only a few english words)
they used physics in it! you know, the whole connecting the frog to electricity to make a complete circuit which conducted, in the movie it was just exaggerated.
first time ever having chatime! only reason was because i had a buy one get one free voucher. apparently they opened 1.5 months ago. tried mango green tea and had pearl milk tea. their milk tea is defs not as sweet as easyway since they had real tea, i don't remember if easyway used real tea. last time i had easyway was 3 years ago, and back then, i think for the tea they used flavouring. the mango green tea was really sweet, but at least they used real green tea.
towers has changed so much. only walked half of one level, and saw at least 10 different shops.
english will follow everywhere. belonging/symbolism/tone were all involved in today's bible study.
also yesterday:
so our neighbours moved out over 2 months ago to this suburb. and we were driving around that suburb and by pure coincidence, saw their car coming out of their driveway, and they saw us. yes, now we know where they live! this world is really small at times.

Cirque Du Soleil-Ovo
AMAZING. my first ever proper circus. i've been to one in primary, but ofc wasn't as cool.
so worth paying the extra 40 bucks for better seats. i was like literally 3 metres away from them, so you could actually see their faces properly. a lot of them were asian, but i guess chinese people are good at these stuff, and there's better pay here.
there were people there, from all ages.
everything was so seemless, from the transitions to the acts. so many things were happening, it was hard looking at everything at once. whenever they changed scenes, even with massive rope/net props, it too less than 30s, i think
anyways, my favourite thing was the man and woman with a rope. just one hand around a rope, and they can swing around it, then throw the other person around. and when they swung, they were above my head, and was real cool.
2nd best was the tightrope walking w/ ladder and also uni cycle. i've ALWAYS wanted to see it irl, and the claps at that point was defs the loudest.
3rd fav was the trapoline. i remember the documentary they had last year, and it said something about the trampoline part, which the reporter tried, but couldn't even bounce back up.
as weird as this sounds, i love people swinging each other, throwing, twisting at great heights. oh, how i wish i could climb that net, or jump on the trampoline.
the setting for everything was really well done, the costumes-soooo cool, and live music as well is (: their make-up was amazing.
at the end, there was butterfly confetti! first time ever seeing that.
also, glad i didn't sit on the edge because: you get hit on the head with random nets/pats on the head by the performers/ they choose you to "flirt", oh and also, one of the performers took someone's half-eaten popcorn and started to chuck it at people, twas quite funny. the only bad thing about my seat was when they high up on the trapeze-just had to tilt my head, and also at the end when the musicians were coming out, couldn't really see who they were from my angle.
you could see where your money went: the performers, the $1000+ costumes which have to be durable/stretchy/comfy/non sweaty, the ushers who guided you to your seat with torches-they didin't even have that in wicked, the actual tent, the site hire, the toilets-they had branded/toilet paper you use at home-not the crap paper you have at home, the other people selling stuff, the security who spend half their time taking photos of people, then there's the behind the scenes people.
literally just got home. was going to drive, but then there's a lot of toll fees. there was trackwork today, so it was just get to the station and see what trains there were. almost missed the train going there, was still buying a ticket when the train arrived, but they saw us running and opened to half-closed door. that was the first time ever i've experienced a train door re-opening. everytime i miss it, it was either still on the stairs, or closed in my face.
ate out today =/ it was relatively cheap for city food, except there were soooo many people.
i've been out since 8am. so exhausted.
now i've been to 2 musicals, and 1 circus. need to go to a music concert (my dance concerts don't really count as concerts to me...)

Homebush Traffic
nts: never get a job in homebush, unless it's super duper high paying.
that traffic.
going there only took 30mins, but coming back, the traffic was 30mins. seriously, the traffic light going out from homebush into silverwater road. i tried to go onto different roads, but traffic everywhere. yay for dad installing gps system into mum's car (: i remember when i was younger, my dad tried to be cool and navigate his way inside olympic park, but he got lost, and just kept on going/following other cars, that was at least 10 years ago. i can get inside olympic park fine without a gps, but inside it's a life saviour.
i don't get how my dad can survive that traffic, but apparently it's worse on friday's =/
soooo much food left over today. couldn't help myself but it eat. it seems that i eat outside food on fridays, last week viet, this week party food, next week formal food. i have finally seen a costco pizza in real life!
it seems that whenever i go to a picnic, it rains.
excited for tmr on so many different levels (:

yes! lost weight by walking around 4 hours today. and a million stairs. i think it was the 2nd i've been to cabra...
arh, haven't even figured out how to get there tomorrow, and need to buy tickets.
sometimes i just want to tell people: GO FIND YOUR OWN PERSON!!! but then they would hate me for life, because that's how girls are, once you do something against their own wishes/personal world, then they hate on you, for life.
14th is my only free day until the 25th. i still haven't filed my stuff. i have been THAT busy.
