havent had the chance to go online for a long while so sorry to those who emailed me over the weekend.. had a really hectic weekend last week.
friday. after school esha's mom dropped me at warwick train station so that i could take a train down to the city so that ernest could pick me up and send me for xfyre. it was a really really long wait cos i had NO idea that the city is jammed with people in cars going home from work.. (really can understand human geog in perth. rmb the settlements chapter? well you can see it in perth. :P really useful, geog is. (: ) and so i had to wait for about an hour plus for ernest to finish weaving through the ginormous traffic jam so that i co uld finally get into the car and get to xfyre. haha. and GOSH i was still in my school u and my school hat. made me look like such a prat, hey. anyway. so i went to xfyre exactly at 6.30 and every one (EVERYONE) saw me in my school u. and i was really really embarrassed. (only private school people have like proper uniforms, public school is like the canadian school uniform, just a polo shirt and skirt or jeans... or something.) so boon, claira's (she's my cell leader) bf sent me and hui home. cos her parents werent in town. they were at some golf thing.
sat. went to the beach! :D took the 9.30 bus up to the city and then transfered to train up to warwick again to meet esha's parents who sent me, esh, toby (cousin from hale) and simi (sister) to the beach.. met this nice lady who just got off the train from adelaide.. the thing about perth is that everyone here is really friendly, they always chat to total complete strangers. like in a shop? the person behind the counter would just start talking to you as if you guys were old friends. funny thing was on the bus i met jen (she another cell leader in church) and she was going to work at the southlands (suburb shopping ctr. - see the human geog? :p ) food court. on the way back from the beach i met her again on the bus and she was on her way back from work. okay maybe it isnt that funny.. but i thought it was.cos i was going to play while she was going to work. ah well. my lame attempts at humour. never seems to get anyone cracking. except for probably dee. who laughs at anything. and xiao too. or maybe their just being polite, laughing at my not-so-jokey jokes. went for another run in the park near my house (shall start calling my guardian's house that cos it sounds warm and fuzzy. (: ) and it felt good! there were people at the park.. playing cricket, golf (I KNOW HEY!!! GOLF! weird i tell you! :/ ) and some funny gym-cum-dance-cum-taichi thing.. was really strange. but i had a good run. (: should start bringing my shoes home every weekend now. i think i eat more on the weekends than weekdays. or maybe its the same. but all i know is i'm putting on weight! bad kristi bad. anyway. there was this little kid (probably about 4 yrs?) at the park and he was really cute! (: his dad was trying to teach him cricket and he had this little cricket bat and was swinging it around and going in circles chasing the ball and tapping it.. AHHH. so cute. reminds me of the little boy we saw during study group on that music thing.. he was about that age too! he was so so cute! (: (: (:
sun day. church! went there like ULTRA early cos hui was singing for svc in the choir thing. (btw we dont have the choir on every week. its just this week. dont know why but yeah.. special occasion (: ) its really cool at church cos they call svc celebration instead of svc.. and we sermons are called church envisioning. it really isnt sermon. we get our sermons during xfyre.. and the adults get them during cell i think. but anyway. (i keep digressing) we woke up at 6.45 and left at 8. HUI IS A TOILET HOGGER! she spent ages in the toilet leaving me really little time to brush my teeth and wash up and stuff. hmph. i dont like you hui. ): but it was really cool being at church early. (: i love being early. cos in the time before you can prepare yourself and stuff before everyone starts coming in and you get distracted and all and start to talk to you friends. dont know why. and just watching the band practising just really calms me down and all. i miss all the times i played at church though. its been a while (since watchnite) since i played and i need to start playing again. flic said i could start with xfyre.. but i dont think i dare to. all the musicians are really really good.. i dont know if i match them.. i'm not good enough. and like kylie is really really talented. she's like claire! can play the violin and keys really really well. :/ she played the violin on sunday for a song.. i think it was days of elijah.. it was really really good! and yeah. she's only year 9! thats like.. sec2! gah. she's good. anyway. after church we went out to the city as usual for lunch. hui's bday is next sunday! i dont know what to get her. ):
sun night. me esh and dee (and esh's parents, simi, chloe (simi's friend) and toby and killian as well) went to music under the stars at hale.. i thought it was really good. the hale-stmarys bands and orchestras (note the plural~!) and other performances by old boys and the chamber choir and all. OMG i thought it was uber awesome. though toby and killian might beg to differ. they were really bored by all the jazz and classical stuff. haha. finally met our dearest KIM CHIN! haha, andrea's really crazy over him. they're like desk partners or something like that in orch and he's like YEAR TEN. but anyway. andrea and nat set up this ILKC (i love kim chin club) and no guesses who the president and co-president of the club is. well i'm hospitality and esh is publicity. LOL. its so amusing i tell you.. and he dominates our lunch disscussion topics. we really heard alot about him from nat and andrea. no kidding. (well the fawning over him part is all exxagerated but ah well. (: )
today. school's started as usual. boring stuff. nothing much. except that i've got a sprained ankle from goodness-knows-what. maybe i stressed my ankle last night or something i'll nvr know. but when i went for my morning run it was aching like crazy. hmm. dont know whats wrong. but i ended up not going for my afternoon run cos it hurt (but mostly cos i was feeling rather lazy. heh.) anyway. should get started on work.
PS. PEOPLE who sent me emails and stuff. sorry i dont really have time to reply. i shall wake up early tmr and after my run i'll reply you guys okay! hang in there. :p
a shout of praise.
