It's a Loooong Wednesday Blog / Monday, May 28, 2007
Well, the most exciting day of my past week, would be Wednesday. Started off the day early with teaching RE in Balwyn North Primary School (which I thoroughly enjoy), and then crazily looking for car park in the city with Sayang. You see, we were given this voucher for lifestyle portraits, so we went and took some outdoor pictures with the photographers. It was surely fun, awkward in the start, and having people starring at you, was nervous too, but apparently the photographer and his assistant reckon we were so natural =p Well, we are going in to the studio to view our pictures on Wednesday, I can’t wait!!
After that, we headed down to Melbourne Uni to meet up with Yvette for catch up, and later with Joanne and her boyfriend. Yvette took us to this place, where Chara was working (not on the day tho ={ ), to get some sushi, and then we went and get a seat in the crowded Union house. Quent felt really old among the students, but I was not feeling that awkward, as I am not too much older than they are, as compared to Quent =p It was great fun, especially when we have to run to our car, second time that day, before our car parking meter expires. It was plain crazy!
We had time to kill before our next appointment, so we went shopping on Bridge Rd, well, is fair to say that, I went shopping on Bridge Rd, cause Quent was there, but not really, cause he wasn’t feeling too good, plus it’s shopping time. He says it drains his energy! Hmm… well, got some really good buys, and tried on some evening wears, and came really close to buying my DREAM umbrella, its transparent! Sayang wouldn’t mind I bought it, he even encouraged me to get it (cause I’ve been telling him all about this umbrella, since we first met), as long as he doesn’t need to be under it, cause he reckons it is plain “sissy” to carry a transparent umbrella! Okay, so I didn’t get it, because what’s the point of buying an umbrella, if no one is going to share it with you right? Rather walk in the rain! *mouth pouting*
We then headed down to South Melbourne for our appointment with the florist, for our wedding. There we met up with Nicole and Tim and headed in to see the wedding co-ordinator, who is in charge of flowers for wedding. “In Full Bloom” is recommended by Emma, but the price range was quite high. Let’s just say, the cost of all the flowers for the whole Bridal party and the families are costing as much as my wedding gown, how ridiculous is that. These people are just vultures out there to get people who are in love! So mean! Anyways, we found out that Orchids are also seasonal flowers during December period, so I’m still contemplating between orchids and roses. I say “I am” because Quent can’t even tell the difference with Daffodils and Orchids *sign* Boys! Well, anyways, we are waiting for Nicole, our wedding planner, to book us into more florist =D We then headed next door for some yummy Nando’s peri-peri chips, and then took a gelati stop before our next destination. I have Tim company, so I could have my long awaited durian gelati. The last time, I was with Nicole, Vernis and Sayang, and none of them likes durian, or even the smell of it, so I had to for go the temptation of the lovely gelati, but this time, with Tim around, I found company to enjoy the yummy flavoured gelati. Yummm…
Nicole and Tim went off, while Sayang brought me to watch Varekai, from Cirque du Soleil. It’s a very arty form of circus, very high class performance, which Serene is dying to watch, but I fell asleep! Hehehe… don’t get me wrong, I think with their gibberish language and unfamiliar story line, they were awesome, is just that I was lost in their gibberish language and songs! Great experience though =D Thanks Sayang! If you are interested in knowing what I am talking about, you can check it out at www.cirquedusoleil.com.au. But, I have to agree with Quent, The Lion King Broadway was much better.
That’s it for the day of Wednesday, 23rd of May. It was a great day out with Sayang! Thank you.
