Hello world! Long post today, so I tried adding in photos to keep it slightly interesting, hopefully. Sorry if this sucks up your internet! (;
Well, it was UNSW Open Day today and not surprisingly, another Ruse party ;D Pretty hectic day, and lots of awesome stuff to talk about (if I can remember them) and lots of PHOTOS. I think now that there’s so little time left, I’m just carrying around my camera everywhere, something I never ever ever did. Funnily enough, today was a really good way to just forget the stresses of my morbid life and just play, really. Thank you everybody for just being there. (:
Here’s just a “short” recount of today:
Before I start: Not sure if you read this but I need to say another GINORMOUS HAPPY 18th TO KELLY CHEN. Sadly, you’ve crossed to the DARK SIDE but I wish you the best… again (: I LOVE YOU KELLY!
The day started too early for my liking – 7am ew – met Sandy, Richard and Angelina at P-matta and caught the damned trackwork bus to Granville. After a pretty uneventful train trip to Central, we met up with people like Ben, Jackie and Tanya and caught the UN-FREE bus to UNSW. As soon as we got there, we found the freebie stands. There we grabbed the bags, guides, maps and a CD! I just listened to the CD now, and I gotta say the CD itself and the cover is quite pretty but I think I’m too ignorant to appreciate the music itself haha. So it’ll just have to sit on my desk and be watched… Moving along, we walked across the whole university to get to the Matthews Theatre. We walked in at like 9 35 (just enough time to grab the last seats) and listened to the hour long lecture. I actually thought it was informative, most likely because I didn’t know much to begin with.. Basically confirmed my fears that I’d be leaving university at the ripe old age of 30. How daunting. But it’ll be worth it, for sure (: PEDIATRICIAN HERE I COME!
After intense navigating, we arrived at our second destination – Optometry lecture. I, the great map reader, lead us all the way to Keith Burrows Theatre BUT Angelina decided to doubt me and asked some fat old guy in a red shirt. He led us in another direction, and after 5 minutes of walking around the map led us back to where I pointed all along. Freaking sabotager. Anyway, I gotta admit that I walked into the lecture thinking optometry would be the most boring thing you could do with your life, haha. But the guy who spoke was interesting and now I think optometry might be in my backups (quite far down, but still there). Still hoping for that medicine entry haha (:
Burning in the evil sun.
Well, after meeting Winnie at the optometry lecture… everything’s kind of a blur actually. Honestly – how sad. I’m guessing it’s because we did nothing for like the next few hours. We did, HOWEVER, bump into the marching band before they started marching! They were really nice and for some reason one of them carried around a stuffed turtle toy… I couldn’t even fit them all in because there were so many of them and so I think I left some of them smiling, thinking they were in a photo but were in fact smiling at nobody hehe.
:D
On the way, we met people like LeeAnne, Bryan, Deva, Jero, Nathan, Eddy (gosh I could go on). LeeAnne and Winnie did a million rounds of fairy floss and one of the highlights of the day:
The Victor look-a-like who seemed to be following us everywhere.
Can you spot him?
It was also pretty funny how Thashan, Swami and Winnie turned up in the same outfit. No photos, sorry.
After many happenings, Deva, Sandy, Angelina and I were the only ones left. Because of Doug’s crappy directions “We’re at the glass. We’re at the Y-shaped building” we wandered another 30 minutes or so searching for them. After finally meeting with them, we came across the inflatable man (yet again) and took this photo:
Back to his origins.
We waited in the free-sausage-line for 30 minutes I think. Oh well, we were hungry and it was a free meal, so why not (: We sat around, playing with cans of drink and trying to take photos of Markass. Strange boy. Here’s Deva and his super tower (which ended up spilling onto somebody’s things hehe)
Next up! Psychology lecture with Winnie and Benny. The lecture theatre was PACKED and we met up with Chris, Andrew, Richard and others (sorry). At first we thought the lecture was going to be as boring the USyd one – luckily we were wrong, sorta. Haha, the lecture talked a lot more about the sort of things you were learning – not so much the boring subject choices talk (if you get my drift). Overall, I think we left the lecture more satisfied than that of last week and although I don’t think I’d do psychology on its own I really wish I could do it as an extra thing.. I duno what I’m talking about now. Oh well.
We found the rest of Ruse09 on the lawn by International Square. Sat around for a while, waiting for the last people to finish their lectures. Haha, more photos here. Connie’s so rude.
Caught a bus to Central, and split – guys went somewhere, most girls went to kareoke and LeeAnne, Angelina, Winnie, Sandy and I had a Starbucks break and went “shopping.” Wandered around too much ): and met Chris, Shaun and Jessie by the Golden Tree, where those weird people were giving us fake 100$ bills. We ditched them and ended up at Chilli Cha Cha! Party for KELLY! What did we order… no idea. I just ate what I was given. I had to note that the restaurant itself was really small and cramped, especially for the twenty five of us. Howeverrrrrrrr, the service was really good and we got our food within like TEN minutes of ordering! Ate, camera whored, and sang happy birthday to Kel. (:
birthday girl !
Ahh, so many photos. I guess I’ve got to pick and choose the best.
I love Jackie.
Annie's infamous smile and Angelina's fugly face. (:
The photos with Kel/Mindy seemed to turn up nice. Damn photogenic people ;D
DESSERT TIME. French Reviera time! After walking what felt like a million miles, we got to the ICE CREAM HEAVEN (: Of course most of us loved it, with the occasional random commenting on the “prostitute lighting” and how it wasn’t “romantic” or “French” enough for their liking D: It was here Angelina said the quote in the title of this blog and I’m assuming only those that were there will get it. Our table got some giant tub of ice-cream with chocolate sauce and nutty sprinkles. Flavours included cheesecake, chestnut, mango, coffee, RUM AND RAISIN?! After pigging out and taking a million photos we realised we couldn’t even finish the so called “2-3 person share” of ice cream between the seven of us.
WOW LOOK AT CAROL... and Winnie.
One of the many gay photos...
I don’t think I’ll upload the photo where somebody looks NAKED, haha but I’ll share my favouritest luvo ever. (Don’t hurt me please)
Hehe. (;
Walked to Town Hall station after stuffing ourselves and parted ways (:
Such an eventful day – probably one of the last until HSC is over seeing we promised ourselves no more outings, and the start of damned study. Hope you had a fantabulous day, Kelly – cus I sure did tehee.
I don’t know if I want to blog for a little while. So until whenever that is, goodbye (:
(I’ll probably come crawling back…)
LOVE YOU GUYS!
