it's going to be an unlucky year
written on Tuesday, January 1, 2013 @ 11:24 PM ✈
No matter how you say it, two thousand and thirteen or twenty thirteen just doesn't have any ring to it. Plus it looks ugly when you write it. Also since it has 13 in it, does that mean this year will be unlucky? Nah don't worry I'm not that superstitious...
Several interesting things have happened in the past week but since I've probably already gotten the dreaded lazy blogger syndrome, I was too lazy to blog about it then so now I've kind of forgotten about the stuff that happened.
Christmas was retarded since it was rainy and come on, it's supposed to be summer in Australia so I expected a nice and hot Christmas. For some reason mum decided to have this big barbeque for our relatives and family friends. It was cool and fun except for the rainy atmosphere :/ At least we had it under cover. We haven't had a barbeque in so long and I kind of miss barbeque food, it's cool. Except for the fact that my mum always prepares way too much so we end up eating leftovers for a week T_T
At the barbeque we labelled our cups (so it wouldn't get mixed up) and my cousin(?) laughed and asked who labelled their cup "me". Turns out my mum thinks she's funny for naming her cup "me" == To make matters worse, it seems my dad joined in and decided to write "我" on his cup though I'm not sure if they were in on this trolling together or just happened to think of writing these things independently.
Funny how my mum bought a box of 20 popsicles because she thought we'd eat it all but in the end, due to the rainy weather, out of all of us, only 3 people wanted popsicles (me being one of them of course). As my cousin says, that's just more leftover for me xD
A few days later I had part two of naruto marathon with Keely where she also slept over. That was fun :) Made apple and cinnamon waffles for the first time the next morning since normally I make banana and choc chip waffles but my sister ate all the bananas D; They still tasted good though Keely and I were frustrated with how long the apples took to soften in the microwave lol.
For lunch we had takoyaki :D First time having it at home and we kind of failed at cooking it lol. When we put them in the oil spluttered everywhere and Keely and I basically had this expression:
Ahh geez that picture won't get any smaller == And one of the takoyaki kind of flattened and got stuck to the pan T_T Ah well, hopefully we'll be able to do it better next time. Oh and there was that weird incident where I checked my inbox and there was an email about how my order delivery status said it was already "delivered" and I was thinking "what? No way. I've been sitting in the living room all morning (watching naruto) and I would notice if I heard a truck in our driveway or at least hear and see someone at our front door." I decided to check my front door and there were two parcels there after all o_o Wonder when they came cause I totally didn't see them.
On sunday the 30th my mum decided to hold yet another barbeque for our other family friends + Keely and her sister :D (though they kind of count as family friends anyway lol). This time there was better weather and soooo much food. Also I love my sister's pasta salad. I swear I make it in the exact same way as she does but mine never tastes as good...
I don't get why my mum complains about how much time it takes to prepare for a barbeque but yet she's the one who decided to have two in one week... And I always thought barbeques were easy since don't you just buy meat and barbeque it? But mum says all the sides take a long time to prepare (since people don't want to just be eating meat)...
Funny how after eating for a bit all the kids went inside to play board games or to play on the computer whereas the parents stayed outside talking or looking at reunion photos on their laptop (the other parents were my parents' uni friends). That segregation.
And then we played flight were it seems that no matter what happens in the game, every time we play we always seem to gang up on my sister xD But hey, we always do it for a reason (we only gang up on her when she starts getting ahead or eating everyone). After that we played some fail badminton (since it was windy) at the nearby park and I got bitten by a mosquito again == <-- one of the three sad things about summer (but the rest is all good).
Since there was so much food left we continued eating it for dinner and the kids didn't leave until about 11pm. For some reason, I completely forgot about the ice-cream and popsicle we had in the fridge so we ended up having them at 10:30pm. No matter what time it is, a popsicle is always refreshing :D
New year's eve I bummed around in the city in the morning. Got a book from kinokuniya yay and also a $1 frozen coke that was more like a really, really, cold coke rather than a frozen one since it melted really quickly (although the weather wasn't that hot). Yogurberry opened in the city and they don't seem to have as many flavours as the strathfield one but at least they had passionfruit flavour. Also they played some random snsd song on repeat ugh == Not only that, I think snsd was doing the japanese version or something but their pronounciation is so fail I didn't notice that it was japanese until like the end of the song.
Met up with Tash and Areeya at Town Hall and we went to meet up with everyone else and we kind of got lost lol. Eventually found the others after what felt like climbing a buttload of stairs and then we wasted the night away until fireworks time~ It was fun hanging with everyone and then Tash and I disappeared for half an hour after going to the toilets to go buy some popsicles and people thought we got lost or kidnapped x_x
We had a nice spot in the shade but the wind was super strong and really annoying. Ugh, rain or shine I do not mind but wind sucks like hell. Couldn't play billionaire or flight because of it :( It was quite empty there at 5pm but as the night wore on sooo many people came and it was hard to make your way through everyone.
The fireworks were cool and some people were betting on how long they would go for. Apparently normally it's supposed to be 15 mins or so but they only went for around 12 this time o.O After the fireworks most of us made our way to Ben's house and long story short it was a long long journey thanks to cityfail.
Felt bad when we got there since his parents were still up and were making food for everyone D: I don't think they got much sleep either since there were sooo many of us and it was quite noisy. Most people either played pool or band hero and some slept while I tried to conserve energy by reading the manga from kinokuniya and writing in Tash's diary.
Then at about 4am Osborn and I were having fun trolling on someone's netbook and I think that's the result of being high due to lack of sleep. I don't think that person will ever be able to clean up the mess we made on their netbook lol. Eventually tried to get a bit of shuteye at around 6am but I don't think I fell asleep until around 6:30. Officially woke up at 7:30 but I kept drifting in and out of sleep due to the noise and that time when some guys came over to take a picture of Osborn and George spooning each other on the coach next to me lol. If only I wasn't half-asleep, I should've taken a picture too.
Had this massive bowl of pasta for breakfast which was delicious and super filling (thanks Ben's mum) and I was surprised I wasn't blind yet since I didn't sleep with my contacts in. Hey I wonder if I can count that as my first all-nighter although I slept at 6:30 :/ Like how do all-nighters work? Do you have to be awake for 24 hours after when you last got up? Or is it just not sleeping at night time and if so, what time can you crash in the a.m. and still count it as an all-nighter? I wonder if that makes sense.
Got home and didn't intend to sleep but parents told me we were having dinner at a relative's house so my body decided to crash for four hours. And it's now 11:30 and I think my body held up pretty nicely. All-nighters don't really feel bad until you decide to sleep and when you wake up your body feels pretty bad and exhausted :/ But if you don't sleep you'll feel okay.
Eww why did it take me one hour+ to type that. Need to stop blabbing night.
