this weekend was spectacular. haha. my mom came down to perth on friday, it was quite good it see her, just that sometimes i get a bit frustrated when we dont see eye to eye and then i get grumpy, but after a while i get cheery again and then everything is okay. its just that sometimes we both want our way (even if hers makes more sense and is more practical) and end up quarrelling for a bit, but i must say my mom's patience grew alot from before, so we at least can talk better now. and i'm glad that we do. talked to her for a long while about stuff on friday night.. which was good cos we caught up abit. we kinda decided that i was going to try out for the scholarship to accounting school at sydney for uni. which is good cos my aunt is there and she can look after me as well. to those people in melb, if i do get in, at least i'm closer now than before! ahahha. so yeah (: then when there's a long weekend then i can maybe drive down (when i do ever get my lisence) or take a train down or something to go and see you guys.. cool?
then on sat we went shopping. got heaps of stuff for myself from harbourtown, and we spent alot of money! the shopping was good though, cos they were having a bit of a sale, and getting rid of summer stock, so i got stuff for quite cheap.. i got a scarf, trackkie bottoms, a sweater, new slippers, skirt and earrings, while my mom got herself a sweater and some nice shoes. and that was quite an injection to perth's economy ay. but according to the 5-sector circular flow model, we'll eventually get our money back. hopefully.
we bused to church on sunday. it was quite funny, cos it was the first time i bused to church so i didnt know how to get there from the city; only knew how to get from church to the city. well, it wasnt that hard after all - its just the reverse. thankfully, we got to church relatively early (i didnt really want to disappoint God and ps Daniel, because he spoke to us last sunday abt it) and the sermon was really good. this american pastor shared her life testimony, and how God uses each of us to bless others and in return he blesses you as well. and i learnt lots of stuff. and that day was a happy day. we went to visit aunty amy and alissa, amelyn and amanda after, and it was great catching up with them. i havent really seen them in a really long while. and all this time at perth, i didnt even visit them. how strange.
anyway. the night was the funniest part tho. we got lost while trying to figure out how to come back to school, cos from the stirling train station we took a bus to karrinyup road (which is a really really long road) and it made a different turn from where we were supposed to go, just that we didnt know. and we got confused. and we got stranded. but Thank God for modern technology. i called for a cab and i got back to school safe and sound.
school today. was great. i cant believe term is ending already. it just seemed like ytd when term just started. results for cross country came out today, and i'm happy. 11th place in my yr, and i got into the cross team! :D training starts next term.. and there are so many things to do before school closes. i've got my english assignment due, i've got to clean and clear up stuff in my room, pack stuff to bring home, clear my locker, get my winter uniform, buy timtams for ms tan, and GUESS WHAT! its the HALE BALL tmr! hip hurray. its exciting ay. i love getting ready and looking pretty.. haha. or maybe some of you will say, TRYING to look pretty. but all the same, its fun (: i cant wait..
ah well. i shall enjoy whats left of my time in perth (: and in 5 days time, I'M HOME! (:
