95. See the ocean – don’t care which one (25th November 2007)

I went to Torquay with my friends for a couple of days. Goods times & here’s the blog from AGES ago :

28th November 2007 ++ @ Torquay AND IT’S COLD.
I KNEW A MAN BONJANGLES / & HE’LL DANCE FOR YOU — IN WORN OUT SHOES / WITH
SILVER HAIR, A RAGGED SHIRT & BAGGY PANTS / HE WOULD DO THE OLD SOFT SHOE /
HE WOULD JUMP SO HIGH — JUMP SO HIGH / & THEN LIGHTLY TOUCH THE GROUND ..

This is a stupid, make-fun-of-ourselves / parody entry ! : — written by around .. 4 people. X-DD.

As Sharanya’s dancing to Enya’s Flora’s Secret and the rest of us, including Jess, Megan, Amanda, Grace, Shirley, Susanne, Yasmin [the only one with a car and thus is esteemed and much appreciated as a nineteen year old P-plater] are deciding what to eat, I can’t help but wonder why the beach is so great. We’re back having spent approximately 56 minutes at one of Torquay’s many beaches and tired and moodier than ever.

1. L-R: Janine, Jess W, Van, Grace 2. Van’s hair, Janine, Jess W, Grace 3. The group of us ; I’m at the end wearing a black hoodie cause’ it was freezing >.<

Well, at least I am somewhat moody, though the Dove white chocolate has helped. In any case my socks are full of sand, my hands and hair are tainted with salt [and Susanne doesn’t know it or she would not have let me in her beach house – which I must mention she meticulously cleans every morning before we leave for the sand of a thousand worms, shells, and rocks] and now I am scoffing down a bar of Milky Way chocolate, yum! I have walked into another room out of sight of the others so I can quietly make out with myself. Yay! That was fun. I am returning to the main room now to shake my bum in Jess Yoong’s face. She didn’t seem to notice, but Megan is enjoying my bootylicious shimmies a lot! I love to dance like no one is looking. This is the best day of my life.

Ps. I didn’t write the last paragraph, because I am way wittier. Although, I admit I can’t spell and put way too many commas everywhere according to my sister. Whatever. What does she know?! She only does IB literature. EW.

4. Jess Yoong & me 5. These people were hogging the sky but awesome pic, eh ? 6. We buried Jess W into an already dug up hole [lazy haha -.-''] and turned her into a “sexy” model .. which ended up looking like a half-man, half-woman .. ahem..

Anyway, back to being more serious, like I usually am.
To be honest, I AM glad that I came, even though I sound like Jack Nicolson in his role as the grumpy old man who refuses to believe that walking in the cracks of the path doesn’t give you bad luck. Can’t remember the name of the movie. Why? Because what is life without your friends. Friends are awesome, verbatim as to what I said to Megan in the car when we were randomly discussing what it would like to be without them. It would be miserable. I can’t say that I’ve never known that feeling but when I’m at work, I often do regrettably think about the things I’m missing out on during summer, whilst everyone’s going out, dating, dancing, whatever is the thing of the moment, whether it be going to the horse races, voting or .. [inserts interesting seasonal activity that requires getting off your ass and out of the house]. But maybe I’m being too idealistic.

I know that I can’t always have the sunshine. Sometimes I have to put up with the rain.

ROFL. The was the lamest thing I’ve said all day, and I’ve said a lot.

7. Spiral pasta we cooked on the first night yummm 8. My pancake with strawberry jam, Tasmanian honey & pieces of fresh banana 9. Suz’s pancake with dark chocolate Malteezers X-DD

Enough about my emotions. Let’s talk about what’s actually happened over the past two days.
It started with a man and a woman. They had babies. I am one of those babies. But now I am a nineteen year old. JOKING. Haha.. well technically, yes. As the woman who gave birth to me laid her tired eyes on me, she gave a huge roar…for lying between her legs lay a 60 kilogram baby gazing up at her. No longer was this baby soft, she had looked to experience the wear and tear of worldly life already.

Okay, let’s be REALLY literal about being serious.
I swear I will never again let my friends interfere with my blogging. Cause’ that not only put me in an awkward spotlight with the many derogatory references but also because, I’m afraid, there were wayy too many jokes that only I would find funny [and are you asking yourself WHERE WERE the jokes ?! -- my point exactly]. More pictures ?

10. Shirley’s so cute ! <333333 & not to mention, a brilliant cook 11. Grace & Megan dancing [i have awesome vids of them !] 12. Suz et moi 13. Van, me & Janine 14-15. Amanda & Sharanya violently playing sleeping bag war >.<
